Star columnist: Cynthia Davis not worst person, just bad legislator

Kansas City Star columnist Barb Shelley has just come of the defense of Worst Person in the World Cynthia Davis. Well, not really, but she does say Mrs. Davis is not the worst person, just a bad legislator:

She wants to treat the "root cause" of impoverished families' problems, not acknowledging that said root cause just might be poverty itself.

Nor does Davis propose how she would go about treating the "root cause." Don't suggest food stamps, because she doesn't like that program either.

I wouldn't call Davis the worst person in the world. I just wish she didn't serve in the Missouri Legislature.
