Matt Bartle Presents: 17 Hours Of Nothing

If you attended any events on Friday you would have noticed that local state senators looked like they haven't slept in days....or at least one day. That's because local State Senator Matt Bartle from Lee's Summit decided to speak on the Senate floor for 17 hours in an attempt to filibuster the nomination of Warren Erdman, by Gov. Blunt , to the MU Board of Curators.

Eventhough Erdman has a heavy GOP resume, Sen. Bartle stood opposed to the nomination due to (well you probably guessed it) Erdman's stance on Embryonic Stem Cell Research. At last, after many laughable tactics used by Democrats and even one allowed bathroom break, Bartle called it quits and lost the vote 27-2; with the two votes coming from Sen. Bartle and Sen. Kennedy (St. Louis area).

Comments:

Matt Bartle likes to talk and can do it on a level that no other Republican from this side of the state can match. His talking alone is the reason why he managed to pull off such a large win in the Republican primary (along with his powerful negative mailing literature). The guy is a very polarizing figure in Missouri politics, but yet, still seems to find a way to talk local Republicans into staying on the train.

Because of his "Take you to church" type speaking, which always hypnotizes Republicans in this day and age, combined with the fact that he is probably the only Republican on this side of the state intelligent enough to speak in front of a large crowd and make sense of the propaganda he is selling, it should come as no surprise to you when his name shows up on the Republican Ticket for Attorney General.
(You heard us call it first with no factual evidence to support it!!! We love blogs!)

However, could it be said that he has now crossed the line into the very obsessive and dangerous part of the 'Phil Kline' twilight zone?

You tell us.
