Sen. Amy Klobuchar endorses B.O. for Prez.
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama picked up the endorsement of Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar Sunday night, giving him another superdelegate supporter.
In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Klobuchar said Obama “has inspired an enthusiasm and idealism that we have not seen in this country in a long time.”
Clearly that’s a shot not only at the Bush administartion, but also previous administrations….. and who was the previous administration?
Hell hath no furry like a woman Clinton scorned.
“My endorsement reflects both Barack’s strong support in my state and my own independent judgment about his abilities,” Klobuchar said.
I guess Ms. Clinton won’t be hosting any more fund raisers for A-Klo.
In unrelated other news.
Souksangouane Phengsene, the man convicted of and imprisoned for criminal vehicular homicide after killing Minnesota Timberwolves player Malik Sealy in a 2000 crash, has been jailed once again on suspicion of driving while under the influence.
Phengsene, 51, was in the Hennepin County jail late Sunday in lieu of bail after he was booked at 2 a.m. Sunday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Amy Klobuchar was first elected the Hennepin County Attorney in 1998 and served until January of 2007 when she was inaugurated to the US Senate. The death by drunken driver happened under Klobuchar’s watch and the man who was drunk behind the wheel of the car got off easy under Klobuchar’s watch. A cornerstone talking point for Klobuchar was her work in getting the Felony DWI law passed by the MN Legislature, but unfortunately it wasn’t a cornerstone of her work in the Hennepin County Attorney’s office.
Hill asked me to tell you not to bother calling again. But can I get a card in case my brother Roger gets into trouble again and needs a good attorney?
