Blog: Stevenson passed over for U. S. Attorney post


"The Source," a new blog started by former Sam Graves aide Jeff Roe, says Rep. Bryan Stevenson, R-Webb City, who was a finalist for the U. S. Attorney job opened when Todd Graves resigned, did not get the job.
Instead, the blog reports, a person who was not even on the finalist list, John Wood, Homeland Security chief of staff...and Sen. Kit Bond's cousin.
Bond was the one who submitted the list of finalists, the blog said. Wood was a "special nomination" submitted by the Department of Justice.

Politics as usual, jobs given not based on merit but based on who you know (or or related to). Will things ever change?
