As a Missourian, that whole circus of course reminds me of the "attack" 
ad that Claire McCaskill's Senatorial campaign ran against Todd Akin 
before the Republican primary a few years back.  One may only hope that 
one or the other of the clowns will eventually open his mouth and let 
something fall out that's as memorable as what fell out of Todd's. 
(Although, quite frankly, it would be hard to top what's fallen out 
already.)

Eugene McCarthy.  Ah, those were the days.

Then pouting over his shoulder and giving a half back kick. Proceeds to
