New bizarre twists in Clayton bombing (Bomber was Democratic strategist)

A federal search warrant obtained by the Post-Dispatch connects a former Democratic campaign strategist to a Clayton bombing last year that seriously injured an attorney.

About two months after the October bombing, federal law enforcement officials searched the downtown loft of Milton H. "Skip" Ohlsen III, seeking "evidence related to the planning, execution, and/or cover-up of the bombing in Clayton, Missouri, on October 16, 2008." Ohlsen in recent weeks has been at the center of a swirling political scandal that is threatening the political careers of at least two Missouri Democratic legislators.

The Clayton bombing injured attorney John L. Gillis of the Armstrong Teasdale firm. But investigators now believe Gillis was not the intended target of the bomb that exploded next to his car in the parking garage at 190 Carondelet Plaza.

Instead, as the Post-Dispatch first reported Monday evening on STLtoday.com, authorities suspect the bomb was intended for Richard J. Eisen, a former Husch Blackwell Sanders attorney. Eisen has led legal battles against Ohlsen and had an office in the Clayton building that was bombed.

as bad as it all sounds, and it's pretty bad, did this little gem not really stick out to anybody else:

Locally, he did political work for Mehlville school board member Mike Ocello, a strip club manager whose campaign was helped by video showing an opponent stealing a campaign sign.

So did the good people of STL(snerk) actually vote to allow a STRIP CLUB MANAGER to sit on it's school board????

If nothing else, at least he doesn't have to go very far to recruit his workers...

geez,what was I thinking-democRATS and unions-of course, it all makes sense now!

It’s getting better. A state senator and state rep just pled guilty to illegal campaigning that this guy did.
