Credit Where Due

Go read the best blogpost that Dave Catanese has ever done.  A teaser...

As I moved closer to the door, a hand tapped me on the shoulder. It was
Peter Kinder. "Look, that's just how it had to be, David," he said.
"There's a time and a place for these things, and I had to do it that
way." I argued a little, but I got his point. Still, with the knowledge
this was coming, I just didn't understand why he or his staff let him
do the interview with me in the first place. I didn't like being duped
by a pol, but I respected him for on second-thought, trying to explain
himself. But now there's a running joke in the newsroom. Every time
Kinder schedules a news availability, someone snidely says, "he'll
probably just back out of it . . . especially if Kit Bond's around."

Good stuff.­­

Good stuff indeed

Nice to see what happens backstage.

It's also funny to see how the MO GOP gets the better of him by appealing to his emotions when he goes to the Christian County HQ to find out what the deal is with those crazy Obama fliers. Tina Hervey, who I'm pretty sure does not actually possess a heart, does her damnedest to cover it up and partially succeeds.
