hope me, change me, any way you want me

The newest agent of change is… Jim Slattery. Fortunately for us (and undeservedly so), we have people like Washburn’s Bob Beatty:

Bob Beatty, associate professor of political science at Washburn University, said Roberts must be considered the front-runner, given the GOP’s dominance in voter registration.

Beatty said critical numbers in the general election would be 41 and 26.

“Roberts has been in Washington 41 years and Slattery for 26 years,” Beatty said. “It’s a battle of which person who spent a lot of time in Washington is an agent of change.”

Slattery, who lost the 1994 gubernatorial race to Republican Bill Graves, said he was running again for public office because the U.S. Senate was “simply not getting the job done.”

Slattery, if you’re not aware, has been… a lobbyist in the time since he was… a Congressman. For six terms.

We are all idiots.
