YIPEEE

This puts another democrat and another woman in congress!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

What slays me is that it was the INCUMBANT that lost to a corpse!!!

I spoke often to a showme stater this last weekwho seemed pleased with this election calling it “High Comedy, . . . a laugh riot!”

At least his death was very publicized. The MIssouri voters _knowingly_ chose to elect a corpse.

I also want to thank the widow for agreeing to be a senator. I hope she lives up to the trust that the voters have shown in this election.
