Nodler's going to be ticked when he finds out Andy Blunt is supporting Jack Goodman for Roy Blunt's congressional seat.

Jack Goodman's wife is Andy Blunt's cousin. Nodler would not be surprised or ticked about that if it were true, he would probably love it. The Blunt's are yesterday's news, well not quite, Matt Blunt just joined Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm, binding Jack Goodman to cousin Blunt and Jack Abramoff. Goodman will be an easy target for anyone. Lie down with pigs you get up with smell.
