Monday is definitely Be Mean to Steve Beshear Day. Apparently we weren’t kidding earlier. So we’ll play along.

The weird political moves of Beshear & crew over the past several weeks have nearly bankrupted the new governor’s political capital and Ryan Alessi lays out the reality that the new administration has a hard row to hoe. Prominent Democrats like Rep. Joni Jenkins and Sen. Ed Worley are taking their pot shots, as well.

It all starts with members of the Kentucky County Judge-Executive Association almost refusing to clap for the governor as he makes his appearance at their annual conference.

His major campaign plank of a plan to allow casinos in Kentucky is “on life support.” as Rep. Joni Jenkins, D-Louisville put it, even before it has been unveiled.

The party’s execution behind candidate Scott Alexander, however, was a different story. Sen. Ed Worley, D-Richmond, called it a “train wreck from top to bottom.”
