Jefferson City, Mo. (AP) -- Fertilized with federal stimulus money, 100 new wind turbines have cropped up among the soybean fields of northwest Missouri, and they're generating some high-voltage sparks in Missouri's U.S. Senate race.
That's because the Lost Creek Wind Farm, which received $107 million in stimulus money, was developed by a company run by Tom Carnahan — the younger brother of Democratic Senate candidate Robin Carnahan and U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan.
Vice President Joe Biden highlighted the project during a visit to Missouri in April 2009. Two weeks ago, the White House included it on a list of "100 Recovery Act Projects Changing America."

Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Lloyd Smith claimed the Carnahans "used their power and influence to bail out their own brother with more than $100 million in taxpayer dollars."

Cha-Ching !! Carnahans hit the jackpot.
...of taxpayer cash.
Its the Carnahans . . .they always smell like that.
Luckily, they are also stupid.
I fully expect one or two of them to find themselves behind bars in the next couple of years.
The author couldn't bear to state the truth. "steady breeze of criticism for Republicans?" Wouldn't that be a steady stream of criticism from Republicans and for Democrats?
These people should be in jail. And it should be Boehner and Mitchell saying that instead of me. And that’s why I wish we had more Palladinos.
The sad thing is that those who actually support these crooks can’t acknowledge who and what the Carnahan’s are.
RUSH just stated that Hotline on call reported DSCC has pulled $$ for Carnahan ads ! Looks like Ma Carnahan’s daughter will be feeding cattle for the next 6 years instead of representing Missouri in Senate!!
