It looks like Roy Blunt’s son is taking a page right out of the Bush Administrations book of administrative policies:

Gov. Matt Blunt was sued Wednesday by a former staff attorney who claims he was fired and defamed in retaliation for pointing out that Blunt’s administration was destroying e-mails in violation of Missouri’s open-records law.

The lawsuit by former Blunt attorney Scott Eckersley alleges that Blunt’s top aides ordered staff to delete e-mails to avoid having to provide information to the media and public under Missouri’s Sunshine Law.

Can we label the entire Republican Party as organized crime yet?
