TKC NOTE: We won't get in the way of this one but after a temporary appointment, here are the front runners according to an AWESOME Missouri Insider:
Short list for Auditor replacement:
It almost feels wrong to be talking about this already, but we are kidding ourselves if we don't think that this is THE hot topic among politicos in Missouri. Here's a short list of a few of the possible replacements that Gov. Nixon, we hear, will be taking a hard look at to fill the spot (including our rankings):
1. Tishaura Jones, Treasurer of the City of St Louis. Would be the first African American to hold a state-wide office and would become a major rising star in the party. Loyal to Nixon, and starts to heal some of the racial rift Jay currently has in St Louis. (A+ candidate).
2. Kelvin Simmons, the only high ranking African American from Jay's administration. Same as above, but too a lesser extent. (B+ candidate).
3. Kiki Curls, State Senator. Her baggage surrounding gifts from lobbyists makes it impossible for her to win a general election, but being African American and willing to do the job counts in todays environment. (C).
4. Jean Baker, Jackson County Prosecutor. Jean is seen as a self-promoter first and foremost, and not a team player. Not sure she makes the final cut. (C-)
5. Mike Sanders, Jackson County Executive. Proven commodity after his successful stint as state party chair. We hear could have been the guy, but is a non-starter as he has already said he will not take the job even if its offered by Jay. (DQ ed)
6. Charlie Dooley, former St Louis County Executive. Just lost his election to Stanger, but has proven his loyalty to Jay. Only makes it if no one else is on the board. (D)

Choose an African American, Mexican American, Chinese American, Gay American, Transvestite American, Lesbian American, etc.
ReplyDeleteWarren Buffett appears to be the sole remaining human on earth who is optimistic about 2015 and it's opportunity's for shareholder growth.
ReplyDeleteWould he like the job?
I nominate Marty Schottenheimer
ReplyDeleteBernie Madoff
ReplyDeleteHow bout Katie Horner. She's good at getting people prepared for potential disaster.
ReplyDeleteLucy Pinder
ReplyDeleteWhoever gets it I certainly hope they will start getting a hefty life insurance policy as part of the benefit package.
ReplyDeleteThey'll just be required to fill out their resignation statement before starting the job from here on out. With the Date of resignation section left blank.
ReplyDeleteMike Sanders would be good. Being he's so weak of character and easy to push around.
ReplyDelete1-6 should be automatically disqualified.
ReplyDelete"not a team player" seems like a GOOD thing in a State Auditor, who, after all, is not on "the team", but is a ref.
ReplyDeleteKiki Curls is a disaster now and would be a bigger disaster if moved to auditor.
ReplyDeleteDitto to 11:02. Kelvin Simmons would also be a bad choice. We need an auditor, not an opportunist.
ReplyDeleteKiki Curls!!!
ReplyDelete"Not a team player" is a nice way of saying asshole I guess.
ReplyDeleteTishaura Jones?! Puh-lease. What are you smoking?
ReplyDeleteWhat qualifies anyone on that list to head up an auditing firm? Not one of these could legally be a partner in a public accounting firm. But when it comes to government qualifications are not important.
ReplyDeleteKiki Curls? Seriously? Why doesn't she just run for the Democratic Party nomination for POTUS while you're at it. SMDH
ReplyDeleteTKC EXCLUSIVE!!! MISSOURI INSIDER SHARES NEW SHORT LIST FOR AUDITOR!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy does the auditor have to be a short person?
Why all the NIGGERS? Does this position now have to be a NIGGER? If so, this is a prescription for disaster. NIGGERS fuck up everything they touch and this would be no exception.
ReplyDeleteSure. Put a nigger in the office and have a Jew pull the strings behind the scene. It's what they do best.
ReplyDeleteBring back the FUNK he is a bean counter
ReplyDeleteKelvin Simmons does not have the background to be a state auditor. He was Jay's house boy and he played the role. Got a white wife with a mixed child....he is happy.
ReplyDeleteKelvin Simmons is a lobbyist for Kansas City Public Schools -- bet we'd never see that rock turned over!
ReplyDeleteSchweich's audit of STJ school district exposed lots of corruption, but it couldn't hold a candle to the abused $237,000,000 KCPS will burn through this year.
