• Baby Blunt's unpopularity hurting daddy

  The National Review Online wonders if the unpopularity of now-former Missouri Governor Matt Blunt will sink big daddy Roy Blunt's chances of taking Kit Bond's Senate seat. Yes, it's early, but this poll says daddy's going to need help if he's going to beat Robin Carnahan. -- Justin Kendall

• Daily Briefs: Maybe you're taking the DMV for granted.

  Yay for the DMV: So, in response to Pres. Barack Obama's health care initiative, Republicans are warning that health care in America will become like the DMV or the IRS. Here's charismatic and telegenic matinee idol Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt giving the Weekly Republican Address. For busy Americans trying to read this while holding a tight tourniquet around a bleeding arm stump, here's a truncated transcript of Blunt's address: BLAH BLAH DMV BLAH BLAH IRS.

• Health-care reform BS roundup for the week

  Health and Human Services Secretary (and former Kansas Governor) Kathleen Sebelius worked the Sunday morning talk-show circuit yesterday. The topic was health-care reform. ABC's George Stephanopoulos thinks the "news" he got out of their conversation was that "the secretary wouldn't commit to a presidential veto on health care reform legislation that adds to the federal deficit." He seemed most concerned about how Obama plans to pay for covering everyone. More helpful, however, would be some ser

• Play Roy Blunt off, Keyboard Cat

  Republicans promised a health-care reform bill of their own but delivered, as Time magazine put it, "a four-page exercise in public relations that left out how many of the 47 million uninsured Americans would be covered, how it would be paid for or even how much it would cost." So courtesy of Fired Up! Missouri, we give you Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt and Keyboard Cat.

• Roy Blunt calls marital affairs 'a distraction'

  The Washington Examiner got some expert advice from Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt on South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's affair. Blunt told the Examiner that affairs "can be a distraction." Then, according to Fired Up! Missouri, the Examiner scrubbed a reference to Blunt "having gone through an affair." But this screen shot taken by Fired Up! captures the original line:Wonder why they deleted it? It's not like he went to South America.

• Roy Blunt says birthers have a 'legitimate question' about Obama's birthplace

  Oh, Roy Blunt. Too bad you don't have balls big enough to admit that President Obama was born in the United States. "What I don't know is why the President can't produce a birth certificate," Blunt says to Mike Stark from Fire Dog Lake on the video. "I don't know anybody else who can't produce one. And I think that's a legitimate question. No health records. No birth certificate."Yes, he has. So has the state of Hawaii. Really, this is just sad.At least three Republican congressmen -- Pete King,

• Roy Blunt believes Obama is an American citizen afterall

  Be careful what you ask for, Roy Blunt. The Missouri Congressman was ambushed on whether he believes Barack Obama is an American citizen. OK, ambush is a little harsh considering it's a yes or no question. But yesterday's video from Fire Dog Lake showed Blunt saying that birthers were raising a "legitimate question" and that he didn't know why Obama couldn't provide a birth certificate (Obama can and has). Blunt's spokesman kept telling blogger Greg Sargent to just wait until the unedited tapes

• Rep. Blunt caught lying about Canadian hips

  ​Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt left his wife in order to mount a tobacco lobbyist, so it's understandable he'd be concerned about keeping his thrusters in working order.But this is bad form, even for a Beltway cocksman. A newspaper has corrected a lie Blunt is peddling as he criticizes efforts to reform health care. In a meeting last week with the editorial board of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Blunt said 59-year-old silver foxes like himself were too old to get new hips in Canada or Britain,

  Roy Blunt​Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele referred to Congressman Roy Blunt as crap in his crapper? At least, that's the impression after listening to conservative talker Vincent David Jericho's interview with Steele in which Jericho rips Blunt and then Steele agrees with him. Jericho: "His [Matt Blunt's] daddy [Roy] screwed around with a tobacco lobbyist. Then slips language into the homeland security bill favorable to the tobacco lobbyist. I mean here is a guy that has
