To say that Claire McCaskill’s campaign has been troubled is understatement, as I stated here, here, here, here and here. Based on this Redstate post, it’s about to get much worse:

At a campaign event this September, which was attended by President Clinton, McCaskill introduced her second husband as one of the “people that make my life work, the people that establish my values on this planet, the people that I love more even than this state I live in.”
One can only assume that Claire McCaskill knows about her husband’s history of gross domestic violence and spousal abuse, and one can only wonder what part of her “values” that established.
According to the police report, Mrs. Shepard said of her husband:

Joseph entered my home. I told him to leave. He came up to me looking angry. I put my hands up to protect my breasts as they are sore (cancer). He has hit me before in the breast. He grabbed my wrist and arm and pushed me up against the wall & I hit my head and back; he bruised my arms by pinching me.

As distasteful and appalling as that is, it’s nothing compared to what Mrs. Shepard told police, and the Saint Louis Family Court, that she had endured from her husband in the past. Once again, from the police report:

He has tripped me, hit me before (police were called by my daughter), punched my cancer breast, peed on me, pushed me down and slapped me. He now threatens that everything I have is his and I will end up in his low-income housing and he wants to take my things.

Call me cynical but I don’t know how this woman ever got elected to public office. This is a woman that’d make Bill Clinton look positively ethical. I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her if I had 2 broken arms and a broken back. This woman and her husband make the Clintons look as ethical as Rev. and Mrs. Billy Graham.
