I have two close friends in Missouri.  Deb and Craig keep me updated on Missouri politics and they keep insisting that Texas is way ahead of Missouri when it comes to good sense.  They might be right.

Men in the Missouri House have a problem.

House Speaker John Diehl was forced to resign following revelations by The Star that he exchanged sexually suggestive texts with a 19-year-old House intern. Two months later, Sen. Paul LeVota, an Independence Democrat, announced his resignation after two interns accused him of sexual harassment.

Republican Bill Kidd came up with a solution to this problem.  A dress code.  The female interns need a damn dress code.

He was seconded by Republican Rep. Nick King of Liberty.

“We need a good, modest, conservative dress code for both the males and females,” King wrote in an email to colleagues. “Removing one more distraction will help everyone keep their focus on legislative matters.”

T-shirt maker Raygun had its own idea of what Jefferson City interns might want to wear on the job.

Thanks to Deb, Craig, and everybody else for the heads up.
