In an appearance on “Morning Joe” Thursday, Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill revealed her son once wrote that his mother is “the best prostitute in Kansas City."
McCaskill explained that her son, who was in grade school at the time, was completing a class assignment and accidentally confused the words “prostitute” and “prosecutor.”
McCaskill served as a county prosecutor in Missouri in the 1990s.
“He was confused,” McCaskill told host Joe Scarborough. “He was writing a paper. He was in the second grade. I explained to him that I was a big prosecutor in Kansas City — how great I was.”
The jokes obviously write themselves here.
Personally, I would be more concerned that such a declaration by a student may lead to a concerned teacher contacting child services and informing them that this poor young boy’s mom was a hooker. (Albeit, the best damn hooker in town.)
McCaskill laughed the whole thing off and even wrote about the incident in her 2015 book, “Very Ladylike.”
"He was confused and the teacher thought it was hysterical. And obviously it was.”
