So Missouri Governor Matt Blunt toured the state yesterday touting legislation forbidding illegal immigrants from getting a driver's license. Why the need for a new law? They're already prohibited from getting one. It wouldn't have anything to do with trying to emphasize an issue for his re-election campaign, would it? It's a classic case of a politician trying to appear like he's actually doing something. His likely opponent next fall, Attorney General Jay Nixon, quickly called it a "political stunt."
Anytime one politician accuses another of a political stunt, it has to make you chuckle. It's the pot calling the kettle black. But in this case...he's right.
