Scott Faughn, the man, the myth, the legend–already launching the flotsam for AG. For background on Scott Faughn and his Missouri Times, see here:

https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/editorials/article210667824.html

In his recent post where he proclaims “My column on what’s next for the Missouri Times,” he starts out blaspheming the names of Bev Randles and Saundra McDowell, two EXCELLENT choices for the new AG, but now probably out of the running thanks to their names crossing his word doc. White guys calling the shots kinda thing, Scott?

State Treasurer Eric Schmitt – No. Not a good choice. His family should come first.

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft – His office is supposed to be more than just about elections, MODidYaKnow? Yeah, oh, I don’t know…Missouri corporations, starting a business in MO, Missouri historical records and archives, UCC business, notaries…meh, who needs all THAT stuff?

The attorneys:

Former-State Senator Kurt Schaefer – Maybe. But couldn’t that get too political? We remember his Planned Parenthood attack–tho we weren’t complaining about the target. C’mon! Clinic doctors with no hospital admitting privileges in case something goes wrong? Are you just IDIOTIC?!?! Maybe only women understand how stupid this is? Oh–wait–scratch that–a lot of PP women and doctors thought it was perfectly okay, too, didn’t they?

“Former Republican House minority leader David Steelman – He would provide quotes for days and is one of the leading Republican attorneys in the state. He even ran for the office in 1992. With his wife Sarah Steelman serving as Commissioner of Administration and himself serving as chairman of the University of Missouri Board of Curators, he is almost certainly uninterested, but if he was, it would be a very well run office and an office providing the best copy in the state to the reporting class.” Are you KIDDING me? You think that kind of PILLOW TALK and quasi-NEPOTISM is a GOOD thing???

Bill Corrigan – Need a St. Louisan to protect MO law and order in farm country? Doubtful…

“Former United States Attorney Todd Graves – Graves proved himself to be committed to a cause more than a personality this fall. He was a big reason the Republicans had field game Tuesday. He is one who is unlikely to be interested in the position, but would be a natural fit” Are you KIDDING ME AGAIN? If MO GOP is his claim to fame on this election cycle, he’d better go run and hide! It was PATHETIC! LOTS of people STILL upset about the suspension of Rule 11, and that is just how it all STARTED! It ended with a REALLY GOOD and CONSCIENTIOUS Saundra McDowell losing by a mere 135,571 votes against an INCUMBENT, and VERY LIKELY lost because she got LITTLE OR NO HELP from the MO GOP on a STATEWIDE race! SHAMEFUL!!!
