Senator turned Busdriver?

Posted on May 7, 2008 by mjtankenoff

If you missed Pat Kessler’s story last night on WCCO, you will definitely want to take a look at it here. Kessler caught up with former Minnesota Senator Dean Barkley, the man who was sworn into office by former Governor Jesse Ventura abruptly following former Senator Paul Wellstone’s tragic plane crash. The circumstances were quite chaotic as you will find out. But what is even more interesting is how he has been keeping himself busy today, now that he is happier than ever. Take a look.

    Wonderful little story. Have to love Mr. Barkley’s perspective–seems like a genuinely peaceful fellow.

    Related: What will Hillary be doing after today? Maybe working at Wal-Mart, where she can help people and find peace with herself?

    Speaking of Hillary–the Star/Trib ran a beautiful Maureen Dowd column on her this morning. We could hardly fictionalize this extraordinary drama with its remarkable cast of characters that is playing out in real time for us in this election so far could we? Back to Hillary: a very, very bright woman with just super-human tenacity and chief-exec potential who is about to lose out on her life-quest.
