Blunt just got nailed.
For more than a year, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt’s administration has defended itself against accusations that it has ignored laws that guarantee an open government.
The administration contended that a fired staff lawyer never offered advice about the governor’s policy requiring public records, including e-mails, to be retained.
But he did.
Blunt’s staffers said the administration did not regularly conduct state business out of public view on campaign e-mail accounts.
But they did.
And the governor’s then-chief-of-staff denied the existence of e-mails showing he had engaged in political activities on state time.
But hundreds of them exist.
Proof of that pattern of mistatements is contained in more than 60,000 pages of e-mails, filling 22 boxes, that were turned over late last week to three news outlets, including the Post-Dispatch, which participated in a lawsuit seeking the records.
Considering all the trouble the Post went to to nail him, I certainly hope so. I’d hate for it to get mentioned on page five and in one editorial. That would barely make the Boy Liar and his minions blush.
I don’t see that Blunt, Martin or Chrismer swore any oaths so that they’d be in danger of perjury charges. They’re such scumbags, but few Missourians even followed the story.
Still, it’s good to see their lies proven to be lies.
