LETTERS: KINDER'S COLUMN IS HYSTERICAL TOO, AND EMBARRASSING

To the editor:

State Sen. Peter Kinder's column about Gov. Bob Holden's "hysterical" reactions to what the GOP is trying to do to this state is, in itself, very hysterical. Kinder appears from this perspective to be an immature, irrational, hotheaded, belligerent, reactionary knee-jerk redneck who just can't stand it when someone disagrees with him on anything. Before I retired, I used to counsel with people like him, but I'd be afraid to be in the same room with a man so full of venom and vengeance.

People, can't we elect someone to represent us in Jefferson City who doesn't embarrass us up there? This man is a loose cannon waiting to explode, and he doesn't care who gets hurt so long as it isn't him.
