From Wonkette...
A senior administration official groping and kissing his gal employees, the chief executive covering the whole thing up, Democrats calling it worse than Watergate, silence payments made from government checking accounts - this would be the greatest scandal of the year, but it's just some Missouri governor/agriculture director thing.
But just in case it eventually involves a ritual murder (because otherwise this is never going national), we've got the creepy rundown …
Agriculture Director Fred Ferrell was allowed to stay on the job even though everybody knew he was humping on his female employees, who did not care for this behavior.
"This is the most bungled cover-up by a Republican administration since Watergate," said Sen. Chuck Graham, D-Columbia.
Governor Matt Blunt let Ferrell pay a $70,000 sex-harassment settlement payment out of ag department funds.
Ferrell said his assistant, Christine Roark, "was not the brightest tool in the shed but that she was his 'show dog.'"
There's a 40-page investigation report by the Highway Patrol, for some reason, and everybody in Missouri politics thinks it's some crazy stuff.
This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
