Happy Anniversary!

October 21, 2008

Jefferson City – Instead of spending his anniversary at a candidate forum hosted by MADD coming clean about his DUI, Chuck Graham chickened out of the forum only to resurface tonight to party with Claire McCaskill at a Homecoming themed fundraiser.

“MADD’s decision to cancel the candidate forum only reminds us of Chuck Graham’s destructive and dangerous behavior of driving under the influence, and putting the lives of all Missourians in danger,” said Tina Hervey communications director of the Missouri Republican Party. “It is not surprising that Claire would coddle and enable such destructive behavior and bad judgment … she of course has spent the last two years defending Senator Obama who is friends with an unrepentant domestic terrorist and has repeatedly demonstrated a serious lack of judgment.”

Although Chuck Graham decided to spend this anniversary “partying like it’s 1999”, Kurt Schaefer was ready and willing to participate in the forum sponsored by the anti-drunk driving group and discussing important issues to the people of the 19 th Senatorial District. Clearly Chuck Graham hasn’t gotten his priorities in line since he recklessly endangered lives by driving drunk and refusing law enforcement’s request for a breathalyzer test. It’s no wonder that Graham didn’t want to participate in a forum sponsored by staunch anti-drunk driving advocates – he wouldn’t be able to look them in the eye and claim to support their goals.
