This Makes Perfect Sense

Submitted by .Sean on November 3, 2009 - 4:05pm

Politics should not play a role in Missouri's judicial selection process -- partisan elections should.

So wrote Ernie Lee in the Columbia Daily Tribune yesterday.

In completely unrelated news, Ernie Lee is Peter Kinder's campaign treasurer, and Peter Kinder received a $50,000 check from David Humphreys last quarter.

In October, the Star reported that some lawmakers were "stunned" earlier by the Humphreys family donations connected to this years' legislative efforts to gut the state's nonpartisan courts plan.

FBI spokespeople could neither confirm nor deny whether they are investigating the connection.
