TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! EITHER EVERYBODY ON THE INTERNETS IS CRAZY OR A BIG SCANDAL CONNECTED TO CONGRESSMAN SAM GRAVES IS ABOUT TO BREAK!!! MAYBE BOTH!!!
Quite a few weird ass e-mails regarding Congressman Sam Graves and his crew have been sent to local media and so far everybody is ignoring it . . . Except me of course because TKC doesn't pretend to be a journalist or pretend to have objectivity like most journalists do.
And then there's the question of the "credibility" of this blog . . . Never mind the fact that people who look for credibility from a blog are probably insane.
ANYHOO . . . TKC got this e-mail which alleges a bunch of nasty stuff including:
TKC ISN'T MAKING ANY OF THESE ALLEGATIONS. TKC IS SIMPLY REPORTING THE STRANGE STUFF BEING CIRCULATED IN MISSOURI'S 6TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE!!!
My angle in all of this is to demonstrate that the world of politics is really rough on the Internets and also that there are a great number of stories that the mainstream media suppress. In fact, did you know that The Star, unless it fit their agenda, did you know that The Star won't touch a hit piece in the last two weeks before the election? I've heard this from a great many of their staffers and it's probably one of the many reasons their circulation is dropping.
Also, the several sources that are pushing this story say that they're already talking to the authorities and other news agencies . . . So naturally, TKC wanted to be first.
To be continued . . . Stay tuned. There just might be more posts with even more bold, red type and exclamation points!!!
Couldn't you have picked a sexier picture?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with some new strange tang??? Maybe she'll do stuff the wifey won't do!
ReplyDeleteThe Star doesn't report unsubstantiated rumors passed around in e-mails either.
ReplyDeleteYeah - I've heard on the streets that the Star has the video tapes of the sexcapades.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time some of this was brought to light. It's been going on for years.
ReplyDeleteSteve Glorioso is capable of orchistrating a last minute hit on any candidate. Steve specialized in skuldugary. He himself knows what it is to get cought in slander and liabel. Steve was the chief of staff for Barnes and even controlled Nick Heines' Week In Review, though the public never knew that. He is the evil master-mind behind Graves. Steve knows how to take a grain of truth and build a mountain with inuendo.
ReplyDeleteThe video tape please!
ReplyDeleteAnony 7:43 writes: "The Star does not write unsubstatiated rumors..." That may be, but they do bias reporting disguised a balanced. Spivak was allowed to get away with writing a number of articles on the light rail and the light rail task force without quoting outspoken individuals who were critical of the rigged process. The Star is may not deal in printing internet rumors, but the have been for years a proganda machine for an issue favored by their publisher. Tony at least lets you know its rumor or its a blog.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can get the infamous garage
ReplyDeletedoor opener to Barnes garage.
I'm still wondering how Sam Graves knew the price of Kay Barnes shoes, during their last debate. Especially seeing how Sammy protrays himself as corn-fed white boy...who apparently knows the price of woman's shoes.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he has been over to Pat Grays house. That's the source of the video.

ReplyDeleteIs this some sort of pre-emptive thing by the Barnes campaign? The word is Graves staffers are sitting on a blockbuster scandal involving Barnes and the arena that will blow her out of the water.
ReplyDeleteInteresting schtuff, TKC, but I wonder if this will fall by the wayside (or be taken completely off the blog at any moment) like the Matt Blunt/"male friend from Springfield" story.
ReplyDeleteThose silly Republicans don't really do the nasty, do they?!
BTW, is there any update on Blunt and his friend?
ReplyDeleteThe neo cons get all the good stories.
Does this have anything to do with that group of boys at NWMSU? There was a small business slush fund and parties, etc. being paid out of it??
ReplyDeleteDon't know about the boys club but maybe Sam has a foot fetish.
ReplyDeleteArena - BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the tapes.
ReplyDeleteHey - wonder what other fetishes he has?? Ooolalalala this could be fun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a small guy?
ReplyDeleteSee, it's all about the tapes. Republicans can deny a lot of stuff but if somebody gets caught on tape than it is a big thing. Metaphorically of course.
ReplyDeleteI heard his wife was leaving him.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he wears her shoes.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, there was a guy that was in Maryville that got busted for using tax dollars to make sex tapes. A bunch of Sams friends were suppose to be in them but no one could ever track down the tapes. Maybe the Star has them now?
ReplyDeleteSEX TAPES
ReplyDeleteSEX TAPES

I think this is what the Republicans get for trying to clean up I-70
What do you get when you cross a kc star reporter with abraham lincoln? a story that sells newspapers
ReplyDeleteWhoaaaaaaaaaa! What's up here. Graves, sex, video tapes. Say it ain't so - our family values guy. I didn't think they even had sex.
ReplyDeleteNOT ENOUGH for you to throw your hands up and say, I just repeat the shit, I don't check it out!
ReplyDeleteYou have responsiblity NOT to pass on lies you know to be lies.
?If you DON't check out stuff, then what good are you??'
You're copping out...you disrespect yourself and your profession as a blogger. Enough of this throwing yoru hands up and say, 'hey, I just repeat what I've heard, its somebody ELSE's job to check it out!"
That just doesn't cut it, Tony. You need to either put out some effort to make some TRUTH in what you say, or shut down this piece of shit!
Screw pimping your backstabbing but herotic TKC tipsters? Probably mostly backstabbers who have no balls to stand up to their bosses. Weinies. Youre the hero of weinies! Is that where yu find your claim to fame?
The problem is, you hide EVERY source's identity, not just a few. That means you'll take anybody's lies and pass it off as truth.
Im no fan of the mayor, but you take it to its level of absurdity! it's level of pettiness!
Time to move on, grow up, and quit being the puppet of those weinie bureaocrats who don't have the balls to face their bosses!
Those are the slimebags of all slimebags and yet yu praise them as your TKC tipsters? What buttholes! and YOU run their shit without even checking it out.
This is not good, bud. If you have no morality, then you shoudl say so at the top. And then we can all realize that youre just a mouthpeiece for every whiner down at city hall.
Frankly, City hall just isn't that important. What's REALLY important is who wins the presidential election. For what happens at shitty hall is NOTHING compared to how the next president will affect your readers lives.
There's a time for live and local. It's not this two week period, Tony. Get real, my good friend! This president will have an amazing and awesome affect on your life. Making whats going on a shitty hall a matter of local whining boy scouts. We're in the BiG time...and where are you? Dickin around with small town politics and her bare feet!
It done said WIFE swappin'. At least theyz married and not shackin or gay or any such nonsense. That's still family values ain't it. Just like Palin and her daughter's shotgun weddin and our toe tappin friend at the airport bathroom. What's wrong a white man can't have rhythem. Theyz all American and GOP as apple pie.
ReplyDeleteNow they ain't usin birth control or abortin no younguns they got at any of these parties is they?
Hot republican mess. What a hoot.
ReplyDeleteWOW - Mr. Radioman has some anger issues!! Just remember where there is smoke there is fire. And when the rumors start flyin' there's usually always some grain of truth at the bottom. So Graves watch out!
ReplyDeleteradionman mad cuz Tony is doing what conservative talk show host do all the time...I say its time for sam to come clean with Missiouri residents..
ReplyDelete1) Prove no sex tapes
2) he doesn't have a foot fetish
3) how he knows the price of Kay Barnes shoes
4)his wife isn't leaving him.
I'm waiting for sam to disprove all these allegations. we have a right to know the truth about sam graves..
Hear the Star's gettin close to breaking it open. They got tapes, laptops, records, the works! This could be SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.
ReplyDeleteradioman talks too fuckin' much.
ReplyDeleteand can't use proper punctuation.
won't even get into the grammar issue.
Can we get a pay perview on those sex tapes. I think I've found a new profit model for The Star.
ReplyDeleteGraves has no idea what Kay Barnes' shoes cost. The ones she was wearing the night of the debate were open-toe, black patent flats. They are from SteinMart(I have the same pair.) I wish she'd wear heels when she's around him--she's taller than he is, andin heels would be tall enough to piss him off.
ReplyDeleteBarnes get my vote. She's not perfect, but she's far better than Graves.
Graves must have been thinking of John McCain's Ferrgamos, not Kay Barnes' discount store shoes. I'm sure he gets confused often. It's clear that he can't answer a direct question. What a doofus.
ReplyDeleteThere's a guy named Anderson that got in trouble in Maryville at NWMSU for using $$ from a Small Business Center on campus that the State and SBA funded. Sam Graves was in the State Senate at the time and directing funds to the center. Anderson and Graves were good buds so you can draw your conclusions from there.
ReplyDeleteSo who's in the tapes??
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Highway Patrol or the FBI knows. They both investigated.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the sound of sex scandals, but please do not think this is anyone with the name Mike Sharp who might be running for Jackson County Sheriff.
ReplyDeleteIt's too sexy
ReplyDeleteDID YOU EXPECT BARNES TO RUN A CLEAN CAMPAIGN. BARNES IS RUNNING SCARED THATS WHY ALL THIS DIRT IS COMMING OUT BY HER CAMPAIGN BUT THE GOOD CITIZENS OF KANSAS CITY WILL KNOW THE TRUTH
ReplyDeletethe 6th district deserves better than even the possibility of this happening. voters better stop and think this time. barnes won't embarrass her district or herself like this.
ReplyDeleteIf she won't embarass us does that mean that she has gotten all of the garage door openers back.
ReplyDeleteBrad Anderson - that was the guys name. He was charged with 6 felonies but skated with a misdomenor and sealed case - imagine that. With Sam Graves involved it's not surprising. The tapes should still be floating in some evidence locker somewhere - my guess is a sunshine request from the Star should be all it takes to get them. Hope they surface soon!!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if Brad Lagar is involved with any of this? He use to be buddies with all of these guys.
ReplyDeleteDoes he have a foot fetish too?
