Claire McCaskill has traveled all over Missouri telling voters she won’t for the present healthcare bill unless it’s deficit neutral. This is trickery from Claire’s mouth. Make no mistake about it. Let me interpret what Senator McCaskill is really saying: I am voting for the healthcare bill. I am voting for the healthcare because once we pass it, we start heavily taxing you immediately upon passage for a program that you will not have benefits from for three years later. We have a whole slew of taxes planned for you. In theory, we will put this money in a lock box to establish a ... Read Full Story

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) attended the Obama Administration's first official state dinner for the Prime Minister of India Tuesday night. McCaskill, an outspoken supporter of Obama during the 2008 campaign, was one of just a handful of Congressman invited to the event, according to the official White House invitation list . The Hill reported Tuesday afternoon on McCaskill's dilemma today about whether to become the first politician to Tweet during a state dinner. "Trying to figure out if it's tacky to tweet from State dinner? What do you think? I think Mom would say yes,it's definitely tacky," McCaskill said in a Twitter message. ... Read Full Story

I apologize for the title. No I don't. We in Missouri know what an idiot and embarrassment Claire McCaskill is. I was just alerted to a Tweet of hers (thanks KOOK ) in which she attacks Sarah Palin. It reads: If we printed the health care bill in regular size font it would be same legnth as Sarah Palin's book, but with more meat on the bone. 4:46 PM Nov 19th from UberTwitter (Notice brilliant Claire doesn't even spell length correctly as she attacks Palin obviously implying Palin is stupid--no meat in her book. Look at the screen shot of her Twitter page.) I ... Read Full Story

I knew when I read Claire McCaskill's article trooping out her mother's name again it was getting deep and that it was time to roll up my trousers (News- Leader article dated Nov. 05, 2009). Claire shamelessly uses her mother as a ploy for the need to keep Medicare solvent. Of course she blames the insurance industry as the evil doer of all the health care problems. She claims the new health care bill, which she is in fact not so subtly promoting in her article, will root out waste, fraud and inefficiencies. This coming from a member of the same party which has ... Read Full Story

Claire McCaskill will put all of your health care reform protestors into time-out so fast it will make your head spin. Claire McCaskill , senator from Missouri, did what is quickly becoming a rite of passage for Democratic pols these days: faced down a shouting, angry crowd at a town hall meeting. She attempted to use a bit more a reasonable tone than some have, admonishing protestors that all this shouting wasn't helping them make their points. From a story at the Kansas City Star : Shouts frequently disrupted a town hall meeting on health care reform hosted by Sen. Claire McCaskill, prompting her ... Read Full Story

Sen. Claire McCaskill, via Twitter: "If we printed the health care bill in regular size font it would be same legnth [sic] as Sarah Palin's book, but with more meat on the bone." I guess this is a response to those who argue the bill is a gargantuan monstrosity. Fine, Palin's book is long, too. But everyone understands it (liberals, insert standard what-grade-reading-level joke here), and if you don't like it, you can ignore it and it will...

Poor self-important freshman Senator Claire McCaskill. She’s been in the Senate for nearly three whole years now and it’s made her tired and sad and maybe everyone should just give Congress a break, because what’s most important to the American people is that every current senator gets re-elected: “I don’t think anyone’s excited about doing [...]
