5. It's becoming a pattern

Claire's ex-husband was also busted on drug charges. He was later murdered.

I love Claire. This is just very sad.

The incident was in January, he was charged in August, and arrested in October?

3. Sound like someone knocked him out & planted the coke on him.

4. Agree... the SEASON OF CRIMES AGAINST DEMS..is ON!

BEWARE..."Politics is a dirty business."

Polling for Repugs must be showing huge losses or they wouldn't have gone against MvCaskill's family.

As the Repugs polls go down further watch for MORE DIRTY TRICKS FROM THEM. PAY BACK TIME!

6. Back in 1993, when Caire McCaskill was prosecuting district attorney

her husband was arrested for the strange offense of smoking something that smelled suspicious on one of the gambling river boats.

8. Then he was murdered

He was a very troubled man.

10. What a strange comment. I'm not sure if it was meant as humor,

but I find it sorta distasteful, nonetheless. :thumbsdown:
