GOP Legislator Predicts Bond Resignation

Buried halfway down in a St. Joseph News-Press story today about reaction to the Blunt announcement comes this bold gem of a prediction:

Rep. Jim Guest, R-King City,
predicts that U.S. Sen. Kit Bond, R-Missouri, also will step down soon
for health reasons. If U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, Matt Blunt’s father, is
appointed to the senatorial post, Mr. Guest said he believes the
current Missouri governor will go after the congressional seat.

Perhaps Kit Bond himself would care to comment on the record about the nature of the "health reasons" that have fellow Republicans speculating openly in the newspaper that he will "step down" from his United States Senate seat?
