The Carnahans must think that holding a public office is their birthright. Or maybe running for public office is all they know how to do.

Geezzz, Ken, how selective you are with your comments. Do you think Roy Blunt, and his one term governor son, felt and feel they have a birthright? Do you think the Bush family claims that right, too? Worst of all is the Star printing your garbage letter!! The former Letters editor LaJean Keene wouldn't waste paper and ink on this blather...
