As the Pukes begin to eat their own............For 90 minutes, U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt -- the best-known Missouri Republican running for the U.S. Senate -- underwent an aggressive grilling Thursday night from the suburban party activists who he acknowledged he'll need to win next year.

In return, he sought to sell himself as a tight-fisted conservative with modest roots and broad experience.

His standing-room-only audience at Chesterfield City Hall of the West County Republicans group included a sizable number who made clear -- although generally (but not always) politely -- that they weren't necessarily buying Blunt's pitch.

But only because it disallowed direct negotiation of drug prices with Medicare.

The heckler probably opposes all of Medicare, period.

3. Of course if it had been a democrat giving a town hall meeting...

the same people would have been yelling and screaming, so they could get their air time on Fox. Still, it is slightly encouraging to see they can act in a civil manner.
