What makes Jean Carnahan tick? Let's ask her.
"It’s certainly not the pay or the praise that comes with running an edgy blog that exposes chicanery and ineptness in the body politic."
Now I'm not privy to what Jean Carnahan gets paid, or what she pays Sean Nicholson to write personal attacks against her children's political opponents, but I do know she likes to mix it up online. Whether she's talking about teabagging, birthers, rightwing mobs with pitchforks, village idiots, or her favorite target, Sarah Palin, Jean Carnahan brings a particularly nasty brand of invective to the online discourse. As disgraceful as it is to watch a former US Senator sink to the level of Wonkette to get her point across, Jean should get some leeway - she is a Carnahan, and there are certain privileges associated with that name.
When not taking vacations to five star resorts in Italy and Australia on the taxpayer dime, the Carnahans like to mingle with the commoners, giving us a taste of their glory and majesty. Luckily, the good citizens of the video brigade were able to catch a rare moment of mother-son bonding on the street of some Missouri town in the midst of a campaign stop.
Senator Carnahan fears for the Republic. She worries we're too stupid to understand just how great her family is. These are her exact words:
"There is lots of evidence that we are not producing enough discerning citizens today able to judge what is rot and what it not. Thank goodness for the blogosphere. Conscientious bloggers are to be commended for speaking truth to power. Somebody’s got to do it."
On behalf of the conscientious bloggers who stand proudly before you instead of groveling for scraps from your taxpayer-funded table, we accept your kind words, Jean.
I recall her actions during the Ashcroft nomination. Ugh
