How Has Nobody Else Picked Up On This?

Kudos to St. Louis Post-Dispatch Washington bureau reporter Deirdre Shesgreen.

She is the only person who, amid all the "Blunt/Boehner K St Connection" hubbub, has reported an overlooked fact: Roy Blunt has a lobbyist daughter to go with his lobbyist wife and lobbyist son.

As Shesgreen pointed out in her 1/12 piece on the Maj Leader race, Amy Blunt is a registered congressional lobbyist.

A quick internet search reveals the A. Blunt works as part of the "Governmental Affairs" division in the Kansas City office of Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin, one of Missouri's largest law firms.
