BREAKING: The Kansas Star Editorial Board has come out public saying that Republican Governor Matt Blunt "may need to resign for the good of the state".
The full quote is the following:"It's time to start using the "R" word with Missouri's immature governor, Matt Blunt. Yes, he may need to resign for the good of the state."
This statement following a series of desperate press releases attacking Attorney General Jay Nixon and State Representative Jeff Harris to divert attention away from a very serious allegation against the Governor's office.
Yael Abouhalkah puts it best:"So the governor's office thought it would make this absurd request. Now taxpayer money will be wasted as Harris complies with the request.
Of course, the one person who's in real trouble over e-mails is Blunt.
Earlier this week, independent investigators sued Blunt to obtain computer backup tapes that contain e-mail messages deleted from the governor’s office computers.
Put simply, Blunt or his team may have illegally tried to hide information from the public.
Now the governor wants to divert attention from his mounting problems. Problems that, if they continue, could cause him to have to resign in disgrace later this year. "
The Star is spot on with this editorial. We at the Blue Blog join The Star in their analysis of this situation and hope that others will do the same.

Not that I am supporting Gov. Blunt's failure to disclose his e-mail (because I'm not), but why is the request for Harris to disclose his e-mail costing squat to the taxpayer?
The Missouri General Assembly uses Microsoft Exchange. They can simply put a copy Harris' PST file on a flash drive or external hard drive and let them have at it.
but we know that's not the way things work in government WB but thanks for playing, even if you were trying to defend Matt Blunt without admitting it. Blunt lover.
