…in keeping with republican spin.

Last night, on Twitter, from Speaker Pro Tem Denny Hoskins (r):

Denny Hoskins, CPA ‏@DLHoskins

When Gov Nixon’s agencies had the chance to input on #SB509 before it was passed, none provided fiscal note like Gov is reporting now #moleg 8:14 PM – 22 Apr 2014

Ah, the old “you didn’t prevent us from doing something stupid” defense.

And an observation from a Democrat:

Roy Temple ‏@roytemple

Hard lesson for the #MOLeg GOP to ponder: There are some things talking points can’t fix. #SB509 6:14 AM – 23 Apr 2014

Heh. We know what you’re thinking.

And this beautiful moment:

“What the heck is the gov doing talking to” outside groups? @johndiehljr critical of Nixon’s #SB509 public campaign: http://bit.ly/1rfRS9n 2:06 PM – 21 Apr 2014

Apparently, if you’re not a lobbyist representing a billionaire you’re part of an outside group.
