Senior Thugs

On Friday, a small group of senior citizens visited Roy Blunt's office with some questions about Medicare and Social Security. They found the doors locked, and the staff hid from them. Whenever a staffer found it necessary to leave the office, he would act as if the seniors were ghosts that he could neither see nor hear. But obviously, the staffers did see and hear the intruders, because eventually they called the cops and had those ruffians removed from the property.

Well, the staff's behavior is perfectly understandable. First of all, imagine the gall of those old folk to ask questions at the office of a Senate candidate about issues that concern them. And. And. Keep in mind what a scary bunch they must have been, shouting and screaming (in modulated tones) as they did. Watch the video. You'll see what I mean. Thugs, whether they're on the far side of 65 or not, have to be shown what's what.

I forgot to mention that the staff (0.00 / 0)
didn't even ask who was knocking on the door.

Blunt staffers... (3.00 / 1)
Don't blame the poor staffers.  They just couldn't recognize these folks as people they should talk to because the visitors forgot to don their teabags.

Turns out that Blunt aides kept (3.00 / 1)
people from attending an event and filming.

The video is described this way by its makers:

As Roy Blunt was touring Missouri, touting his Chamber of Commerce backing, constituents who wanted to visit with their Congressman found themselves directed to the nearest exit

The staffer insists the event is private, and the filmer doesn't provide evidence that it was a public event, so perhaps the aide was within his rights. But that doesn't change the fact that Blunt doesn't want to hear from constituents unless they already agree with him. Kinda makes a person appreciate Claire, doesn't it?
