Digging
Graves
 |
Betty Knight,
Platte County Presiding Commissioner, served as emcee
for the recent roast of U.S. Attorney Todd Graves.
Knight played the role of traffic cop and introduced
each speaker. Graves claims his face is red because
he had been out in the sun earlier that day. |
 |
Graves' first roaster
of the evening was Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd.
As shown here, some of Zahnd's comments forced an
embarrassed smile from the roastee. |
 |
Jeff Roe, chief of staff
for Congressman Sam Graves and Todd Graves' campaign
manager when he ran for state treasurer, took his
turn at the microphone. Roe took some shots and then
introduced Sam, who unloaded more ammo. |
 |
Graves played the role
of good sport while on the receiving end of some digs
from Ivan Foley, publisher of The Landmark Newspaper. |
 |
A surprise to Todd was
the arrival of his brother, Congressman Sam Graves,
late in the evening. Older brother Sam told some boyhood
stories. "Todd used to have to sleep in the same
bed as I did. He tells people it's because we were
poor. Really it's because he was afraid of the dark." |
 |
This poster shows Todd
Graves armed and dangerous at the age of 4. A college
student was doing a project on the dangers of guns
and used young Graves as a subject in his presentation. |
