Don't let that fool you. It is MUCH more serious than it seems on the face of it.

The reprimand is going into her PERMANENT FILE!

I can’t imagine the outrage if a Republican lawmaker had called for Obama’s assassination....

No, she needs to be a(nother) millstone tied to Claire McCaskill’s reelection bid.
