First, consider the source.
Yes, perennial candidate, avowed racist, and current Newton County prisoner Martin Lindstedt is whiling away the hours with more motions in his dead court case against Missouri Governor Matt Blunt.
The case was dismissed by U. S. District Court Judge earlier this year. Last month, Dorr ruled against Lindstedt's motion to file an appeal at the taxpayers' expense. Now, in documents filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Lindstedt is trying again, saying he was misunderstood and he will foot the bill for his court case if the court will instruct Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland "to let plaintiff as a prisoner go to his bank or out in the field to dig up some money not buried with his guns."
After that request, Lindstedt writes, "Now for a page or two chewing on this federal district court's ass:" Now if that's not a method of winning friends and influencing people, I don't know what is.
Lindstedt goes over the basis of his lawsuit against Blunt: Blunt did not allow Lindstedt to put his nickname "Mad Dog" on the ballot when Lindstedt was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 2004. Blunt also refused to post a link to Lindstedt's website on the secretary of state's website (Blunt held that position and was also running for governor on the GOP ballot at that time) claiming (accurately) that the website was racist and filled with hate.
Lindstedt writes, "Plaintiff has been open and honest in his motivations for suing Defendant Blunt. Plaintiff knows Defendant Blunt is a moronic politician for sale to corporate bidders." He later claims that Blunt stole his office by deceit and bought it at auction.
He then says, "Saddam Hussein ran a far more honest campaign." Blunt then compares Iraqi "freedom fighters" to American soldiers saying "the average Iraqi freedom fighter, so-called insurgent terrorist, is far more of a man than the average ZOGling herd animal."
And Lindstedt can't figure out why no one takes him seriously.
Lindstedt also gives an update on his time in the Newton County Jail. "Plaintiff as a professional prisoner eats everything on his plate, no matter how loathsome and is now in fighting trim."
Lindstedt is charged with felony statutory sodomy and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. Newton County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Selby also sentenced him to 660 days on 22 counts of contempt of court. Selby has ordered a mental evaluation for Lindstedt.
Randy, I believe Martin has now been transfered to a mental institution.
