Republican Pig of the Day

Missouri state Rep. Bill Lant pokes fun at high school crush's sagging breasts on his blog

By Steve Vockrodt on Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 11:02 AM

Somehow, Missouri state Rep. Bill Lant, of Pineville, thought that a blog post that started out about the increasing instances of child abuse in the state was an appropriate venue to also reminisce about the breasts of one of his high school classmates from 50 years ago.

Lant sits on the Joint Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, so you'd think that the southwest Missouri Republican might show better judgment than making tasteless remarks about the bodies of teenage girls. Yet, October 2, Lant wrote on his website about catching up with an old crush at his 50th high school reunion in Collinsville, Illinois.

Lant, sounding like the type of classmate whom no one else wants to see at a reunion, commented about how fat the jocks had become and speculated that the cheerleaders had skipped the event "because they didn't want us to see how old they looked."

One woman who did show up was once the object of a teenage Lant's creepy obsession.

can we rescue her somehow?

"The high point for Jane [Lant's wife] was getting to meet the girl I have mentioned more than a few times over the years because she totally distracted me in Algebra class by wearing a tight cardigan!" Lant wrote. "She even had an exotic name, [name redacted]! It never failed, Mr. Howerton would catch me staring at her and smack me across the knuckles with a ruler. I'm not kidding, have you ever noticed how gnarly my knuckles are?"

Missouri State Rep Calls Patient “Dumb”, Says “Get A Job And Get Off Dope”

Aarden Gross is a 27-year-old constituent of Bill Lant’s, just 26 miles away in tinier unincorporated Rocky Comfort. Aarden is interested in having Missouri’s marijuana laws reformed and decided to email his state representative, Bill Lant, to express his feelings.Aarden’s not a professional lobbyist or even an amateur activist. His writing skills aren’t the best and his emails are a bit long. But he is a citizen, a constituent of Bill Lant’s, and most important to this article, a patient suffering from a vascular disease for which medical marijuana would be helpful.

Aarden Gross and Bill Lant got into an email discussion where apparently Aarden told Rep. Lant about his medical need. “I have reached out to you several times trying to get a conversation started,” Aarden wrote, “and the only words I have got from you out of half a dozen emails was ‘I will think about it’.” In that email, Aarden expressed how a CBD-only bill under consideration wouldn’t help most patients and wouldn’t help him. “The only way to ensure all patients are getting the medicine they need,” Aarden continued, “is to completely legalize marijuana.” Aarden also asked Rep. Lant about his personal views on medical marijuana and what sources he uses to shape those views.

Rep. Lant responded:

Aarden, are you as dumb as you appear? I answered your questions as succinctly as I could considering that there is NO current legislative action by the House or Senate. I WAS willing to send another survey out (which you would have received four of already if you are are indeed a resident and a registered voter) I can assure you that sending me messages that impune [sic] my character or honesty will get you nothing! Get a job and get off dope! -
