Blunt Proud of "Top Congressional Partier" Status Because It Means He's "More Accessible"

The Roy Blunt campaign says it isn't fazed by yesterday's news that Blunt was a "Top Congressional Partier" in 2009.  Try not to laugh when reading this sentence in a story about the designation by The Beacon's Jo Mannies:

Blunt's campaign says his packed public schedule illustrates that he's far more accessible to the public than his likely Democratic rival, Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.

Blunt spokesman Rich Chrismer says it's all that time Blunt spends with the public that's landed him on the list of Top Partiers. But as Blunt and Chrismer know (or should) the events in the Sunlight Foundation database are high-dollar fundraisers -- and exactly zero of Blunt's are in Missouri.
