Talent's Desperation Is Starting To Show

Senator Jim Talent's desperation is really starting to show. Today, I heard a radio spot from his campaign that includes every GOP hot button they could think of to put into a single attack ad. They throw everything but the kitchen sink at Claire.

It includes everything from drilling in Alaska, to gay marriage to ethanol, to immigration. And it mischaracterizes Claire's position on nearly every issue they raise.

It is possibly the single most dishonest campaign spot that I have ever heard, and I have heard some real dandies in my life.

But then again, what can you expect from Jim Talent. He's just doing whatever the Bush and RNC political teams tell him that he needs to do to win. He doesn't care if he has to lie, cheat or steal to do it. The only thing that matters to him is that he retains his hold on power.

Sadly, this is just the type of corruption you have to expect from a politician like Talent who has spent far too much time in Washington, D.C. Missouri values like honesty, fairness and decency are foreign to him at this point.
