Missouri's junior senator, Ol' Roy Blunt, never met a lobbyist he didn't like, and he even married one. Blunt, who has been a denizen of the Washington, DC, area for more than twenty years was a former public official back home in Missouri and was President of Southwest Baptist "University" in Bolivar before heading off to the glamor and riches of political life in our nation's capital.
Today Ol' Roy lives in a three-million dollar home in the DC suburbs along with his wife, Abby Perlman, and their young son. Perlman is one of the more prominent lobbyists in Washington, DC. All three of Blunt's grown children are lobbyists.
Ol' Roy likes lobbyists, you betcha he does - and when he sticks his hand in a lobbyist's pocket, he goes deep.
Yesterday America's newspaper, The New York Times, published a listing of the United States Senators and Representatives who had received the most money from the National Rifle Association - and Ol' Roy placed a respectable third in the Senate and was well above every member of the House of Representatives. The NRA had invested a whopping $4,551,146 to secure the undying gratitude and loyalty of my Republican senator.
The only other two members of the Senate to draw more blood money from the NRA than Blunt were Richard Burr of North Carolina ($6,986,620) and crusty old John McCain of Arizona ($7,740,521). But I have faith in the corruptibility of mankind and am certain that given a few more years at the trough Ol' Roy will be able to surpass the totals of even those two master graftsmen.
Keep that hand out, Ol' Roy, and keep stuffing that cash into your pockets. You're meant for greater things than just number three!
