I saw the widowed Carneyhand speaking on C-Span the other day and was amazed at how vapidly ignorant she seemed.

Let's be honest. 'Vapidly ignorant' could describe just about everybody in Congress...on both sides of the aisle.

I can't wait for a debate with Talent. Maybe she will get the pity vote this time for being dumb.

The story in the print version said 9 out of 15. She said she would be happy with 60% in any contest.

That year at a gun control rally in St. Louis, Jean Carnahan said: "We are not a bunch of gun-hating zealots who want to take guns away from responsible, law-abiding sportsmen. We are women tired of children killing children."

It is not about sportsmen and firearms with sporting purposes. Will enough people be fooled by this publicity show to make a difference........

Some of the voters are that ignorant. The Red Star had a commentary last year from some rural gun owner who was only supportive of guns for hunting, not personal protection. Although the paper may have had to look far and wide to find him.

"He called the skeet shoot a "symbolic gesture" that "will probably help somewhat. I don't see how it can hurt."

It could also turn off more than a few of those clueless women supporters of hers.

Her daughter, Robin Carnahan, a lawyer, was a key player in the defeat in 1999 of Proposition B, a ballot question pushed by the National Rifle Association that would have allowed Missourians to carry concealed weapons.

She taught her daughter well.
I don't want her teaching ANYBODY in congress the same thing.

She got interested in skeet shooting several years ago after attending a National Governors' Convention with her late husband, former Gov. Mel Carnahan...AND....My son, Randy, who was in the plane crash...

Gag me with a spoon! The woman is still running on the sympathy vote.

I heard she said the same about test scores in St. Louis and Kansas City schools! fsf
