My name is Russ Carnahan (D, MO-03), and I’m lost:
(via Dana Loesch. Also note: Ed Martin is running against this guy.)
I was last seen a week or so ago, hiding in a garage after a get-together I threw ended with some people that I invited beating up a guy. I’ve dropped off the face of the earth since then. No Twitter*, no blogging, nothing from work… I’m just gone. Now, I’ve had a bit of a sheltered life, and I’m not used to it when things go bad: so I may in a bad place right now. If you see me, please let Ed Martin (R) know; he thinks that I need to take a break anyway, and he’d like to talk to me about it.

…so, please, if you see one or more of us on a street corner, or hunched up in a chair at the Greyhound station… don’t walk away. We’re career politicians; the real world is scary to us. And when we’re out here all alone, it’s so easy for us to make bad choices…

*To whatever anonymous staffer writes Russ Carnahan’s tweets for him: putting on the final ‘/’ makes a difference. As in, ‘makes the difference between a working link and a non-working link.’
