I'm from Missouri.

[NS2012]

And now I'm embarrased. The fucking Tea Party and Akin are making us look like Alabama.

[Dkc05]

1. THE GUY IS TOASTED....who will take his place

Perhaps Pee wee Herman.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. The people in line are not exactly much better

[Brother Buzz]

4. Even money says they will tap a man who lost to a dead man, Ashcroft

[loyalsister]

14. I don't see that happening

The smart thing would be for them to recruit Sarah Steelman, and politically they aren't always dumb.

[Brother Buzz]

16. Steelman has the teabagger's support for sure

Vision of Palin stumping for her, and the 24/7 Lamestream Media coverage of Sarah's every move scares me.

[loyalsister]

23. I can see that

What scares me is the possibility of a party redeemed because they have a woman on the ticket.

[amuse bouche]

10. He may be toast

but I hope he stays in. Holding these cretins up to light for a looong time, shows the real right wing

[Archae]

3. What other state...

Would spend thousands on a bust of Rush Limbaugh, and then spend thousands more on a security cam for it?

[amuse bouche]

11. Oh my

Now that is embarrassing

[NS2012]

17. Yeah.

D'oh!

[snooper2]

5. I was from Missouri, but I left 14 years ago for a reason

LOL...

[pintobean]

30. We kicked you out.

[hlthe2b]

6. No offense intended NS2012, but...

my entire family was from Missouri. I lived my earliest years there and have nothing but fond memories of time with Grandparents and relatives there later on. But, while MO has been more sane compared to what has been going on in Kansas the past two years, its regressive politics have been accelerating for decades now. I adore the people of rural farm country in Missouri and still have friends in the KC suburbs and in the city that I love going back to visit. There are many that I feel I "grew up with," but heavens, statewide they have been only second to Kansas in voting against their best interests. It is devastating to think of those who barely scraped by 20 years ago, trying to do so now. While I have my share of RW nuts to deal with in CO, the trends in MO have been comparatively devastating.

Maybe as Kansas continues down that sorry path and now with the acknowledgement of Akin's intense ignorance, there will be a collective wake up call. I wish you and all our MO DUers only the best of luck in prevailing.

[NS2012]

20. Thanks.

I've never before associated the politics of my state with my own personality, or feared that others may do so, but this is actually embarrasing to me - a first in my life.

[RedStateLiberal]

7. I'm from Alabama.

And now I'm embarrassed for you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. lol

[NS2012]

21. Good one.

[LynneSin]

8. We all have dumbasses from our states. I have Christine O'Donnell

Personally we would all love to send her packing home to New Jersey including the Delaware GOP.

[Jennicut]

22. We have Linda McMahon.

Though I suppose in context she is just a moderate Repub idiot. The joys of living in Connecticut is most Repubs never get so extreme. Akin would be laughed at in CT the minute he opened his mouth.

[turtlerescue1]

25. N. Ark. "blest" with Womack, happy tea bagger.

[Art_from_Ark]

26. And we'll be "blest" with Womack for at least another two years

just because our candidate misrepresented his service record, and there's no one to take his place.

[turtlerescue1]

28. At least we can vent.

And I do, in fact its about time to "email" Mr. Womack once again. You know he enjoys hearing from me, as much as a boil on his rearend.

How did Womack end up in Boozeman's office, and how come we never hear about Senator Boozeman?

I've not been in Arkansas long enough to know the background/history.

[Art_from_Ark]

31. Boozman and Womack are both from Rogers

The Hutchinson Brothers (Asa and Tim, former Republican Congressman and US Senator, respectively) are both from neighboring Bentonville. That is, they're all from Benton County, home of Wal-Mart and rich Republicans. Both bu$h and McCain made several stops in the rich man's playground of Pinnacle Hills (officially in Rogers but just down the pike from Wal-Mart world headquarters in Bentonville), and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in anointing Womack and Boozman.

[AlinPA]

29. We have Gov. Corbett.

[William769]

9. Could be worse.

Y'all could look like Florida!

[amuse bouche]

12. So true

We have more nuts than Rosanne Barr's Nut Farm. Starting at the top with Gov. Voldemort

BTW, nice to see you William. We are buds from long ago

[William769]

15. Please forgive me, but my memory seems to be lapsing.

[_Liann_]

13. Whereas Missouri prefers to look like Mississippi...

[RagAss]

18. Right now, Alabama looks progressive next to your Missouri.

[NS2012]

24. Ughh

[avebury]

27. Oklahoma has Inhoffe and James Lankford on the

national level and Sally Kern on the state level.

[lonestarlib]

32. I'm from Texas. I feel your pain, often.

[panader0]

33. I live in Arizona. Need I say more?
