‘Leader’ Blunt Screws the Pooch

Last month, civic leader and Republican consigliere Warren Erdman told me that Gov. Matt Blunt is the state’s “leading advocate for stem-cell research.”

Erdman tried to pass this line of crap after the boy governor elevated a foe of stem-cell research. Blunt put state Rep. Rob Onder on the Life Sciences Research Board, even though Onder had fought the passage of the constitutional amendment to protect stem-cell research in Missouri.

Now we’re seeing the consequences of Blunt’s “leading advocacy.”
