MO's Outgoing (Crappy) Gov Disses One Of My Favorite Profs From SLU

St. Louis University political science professor Ken Warren says he remains disturbed over Gov. Matt Blunt’s assertion last week that Warren was wrongly accusing rural voters of being “racist” because most did not support Democrat Barack Obama, now the president-elect.

“I think that Gov. Blunt owes me an apology for making demogogical comments about what I said, for political gain,” Warren said. “He knows what I said isn’t what he said I said.”

This pissed me off enough that I had to send a letter of protest;

I am deeply disappointed with the Governor's misleading characterization of statements made by Prof. Ken Warren. I had the pleasure of taking several of Prof. Warren's classes during my time at SLU and always found him to be thoughtful and fair-minded. When I read the Governor's characterization of Prof. Warren's comments, I knew something was amiss. So I checked. What Prof. Warren said was that a SMALL number of racists could be a deciding factor in a race as close as Missouri's, not that everyone who voted for McCain is racist. You owe not only Prof. Warren an apology for misrepresenting his comments, but also the people of Missouri for having used your position as Governor to spread your lies.
