Blunt in trouble
Missouri Governor Matt Blunt is in hot water over a former employee who says he was forced out for trying to get the administration to follow the law. Here's an overview of the scandal:
Eckersley: Hey boss, I don't think you're retaining emails as public records like you're supposed to.
Blunt: Guess, what. You're fired.
Eckersley: Hey reporters, the governor fired me for telling him he was breaking the law.
Reporters: WTF, Blunt?
Blunt: No, he never mentioned mentioned anything of the sort to me. And not all emails are state records.
Reporters: Uh, yeah they are. Have you read the Sunshine Law?
Blunt: Anyways, I fired him because he was working on an outside project on State time.
Eckersley: It was 2 hours of work over 9 months. And I had permission from my boss.
Blunt: Well, we really fired him because there were dirty emails in his inbox.
Reporters: Dude, that's called spam. You don't know anything about computers, do you?
Blunt: Scott Eckersley does drugs.
Eckersley: The hell I do. Hey, Matt, remember that email I sent your staff telling them to stop deleting emails because it's against the law?
Blunt: No such email exists.
Eckersley: I have a copy of it right here.
Blunt: I don't, because I delete my emails. Crap, uh, attention state bar association, I'd like to file a complaint against Scott Eckersley because he repeated his private advise to me in public.
Everyone: So, you're admitting that he discussed email retention with you?
Blunt: Oh, shit.

Sounds like he should get the Republican nomination.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Blunt suffers from the paranoid and narcissistic personality disorders, which together have the effect of completely nullifying his conscience whenever he fears his self-interest might be at stake.
