The Post Dispatch feels bad for the Carnahan family today. Seems the news just got out that brother Tom Carnahan will be getting 107 million dollars in stimulus money for his wind farm.
The Post's Jake Wagman wrote: "The $107 million in stimulus cash awarded to Tom Carnahan couldn't have come at a worse time for his siblings, both of whom are on the ballot in November."
And this: "Still, All Republicans need is the perception of coziness to slam Tom's sister, Democratic Senate hopeful Robin Carnahan, and brother U.S. Representative, Russ Carnahan."
The perception of coziness? They're siblings for goodness sake. THE most famous political family in Missouri.
Poor Jake Wagman, he's grieving over the fact that Missouri republicans now have a "double boon" with which to "needle" both Robin and Russ.
Those poor Carnahans. Poor Wagman. Getting needled.
This announcement was made by the White House last Friday and the first place we see this news is on the paper's Political Fix blog? 3 days later? If something similar had happened to their opponents, it would have been front page news and there would be more than "needling" going on.
