We thought he was dead

July 11, 2008 | Missouri | Comments (0)

This headline out of Missouri “Nixon looks to soften combative image” had the Payday Pundit thinking it’s about 30 years too late.  Then we realized the paper is talking about Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon, not Richard Nixon.   Jay, payday lending critic, is running for governor so he apparently needs to tone it down a bit: 

His new tone has even won over some Republican business donors, who are splitting their money between the GOP and Nixon, said Chuck Caisley, a utility executive in Kansas City.

“He’s firing on all cylinders, raising good money, getting business to hedge their bets,” said Caisley, a former Republican House staffer and campaign strategist.

Not that Nixon has turned into a softie. When he urged delay last month of a California court ruling allowing same-sex marriages, some Democrats were disappointed, calling the move unnecessary and hurtful to gays and lesbians in the party.

The Payday Pundit swears never to do an image makeover.
