Congratulations Missouri Democratic Party! We never thought we’d say it.
We are very excited by their latest pick to be Executive Director, Brian Zuzenak.
Since he was rejected from the Nixon administration, they had to put him somewhere. The Nixon Administration is so easy to work for even Kansas City Star reporters got jobs there; Zuzebak worked for a Missouri politician and was completely discarded by them. How ironic that they put a man in charge of the Democratic Party when he’s lost every race he’s ever worked on.
After only seeing defeat in Missouri, he worked in Nashville for five years, during which the Democratic Party lost the majority of the House and Senate for the first time in 140 years.
Just as the Titanic was headed towards the iceberg, he jumped ship in time to return to Missouri and run Judy Baker’s race for Congress, an awful campaign in a swing district in the best year for democrats since Watergate.
Even with outside groups giving Baker two times more money than Luetkemeyer, he still couldn’t pull out a win.
Since he can’t manage a win with all the pieces lying out in front of him, his pathetic attempts to build up the collapsing Democratic Party in Missouri can only make them worse off.
We look forward to Brian’s year and a half here before he moves on to another state to wreck their electoral fortunes.
For Republicans, this looks like a good pick.
My favorite part of this article was the typo on Zuzenak's name. Normally I'd criticize the author for being unprofessional, but, you know, the article sort of inherently reveals that.

Dear Toolshed,
Er... the TN Dems won when Zuzenak was there. They lost the majority after he left. Nice reporting.

The district Judy ran in is an extremely red district, trust me, I live in it. The fact that they pulled off a nearly even race was amazing. You're way off base here.
