Pot, Meet Kettle

Vicky Hartzler apparently missed the memo regarding prohibitions on discussing Sen. Bill Stouffer's support for a $7.2B tax increase.

So what did Stouffer's minions -- ostensibly disgusted at her choice to speak ill of a fellow Republican -- do in response?  They accused her of "launching cheap political attacks" and said she was unfairly denigrating Stouffer. They even accused her violating the bylaws of the Missouri Republican Party Executive Committee and demonstrating disloyalty to the GOP cause.

So much for the rules about never saying mean things to fellow Republicans.

Stouffer said he wouldn't "shy away" from his record in the Capitol, but I guess that doesn't mean he won't run away from his record.
