lt gov tweetLt. Gov. Carol Molnau mishandled the I-35W bridge collapse badly enough that the state Senate stripped her of her second job as transportation commissioner. But at least she didn’t live-tweet that tragedy, as her counterpart in Missouri is doing today with a hostage standoff in a Jefferson City government office building.

Molnau has nothing to do with what Republican Peter Kinder is up to, of course. Except that as Midwest Regional Chair of the Lieutenant Governors Association, she is supposed to promote the effectiveness of Kinder and lieutenant governors in 11 other states, including her own.
