Greg Stumbo no longer has an opponent. Chuck Meade is calling it quits, saying he’s talked it over with his family. But he couldn’t bow out without criticizing all of Stumbo’s supporters and friends. We love it when politicians get their panties in a twist. But not as much as we love how Greg Stumbo has totally taken control of the House. [PolWatchers]
The Courier-Journal’s editorial board favors Steve Beshear’s streamlined procedure for restoring voting rights to convicted felons who have served out their sentences. But some crazies in the comment section certainly disagree! [C-J]
Heather French Henry, the woman who loved staring at our pageant-esque beauty during the Wendell Ford Dinner a couple weeks ago, is working the circuit in Wisconsin these days. Ticket price is $125 to hear her speak about her “inspiring” experience on the road to becoming Miss America, Kentucky’s second lady and a woman with some serious attitude. You can also part with $50 for a “private consultation.” Oy, we smell the crazy pageant moms slowly killing their little girls with Aqua Net right now. [Pageant Crap]
More after the jump… discharges and KDP funnies…
In case you didn’t know… the Kentucky Democratic Party’s giant sign that faces I-64 currently reads, “Thank you, Governor Beshear, for strong, ethical leadership.” And in case you didn’t know… we’re currently cracking the eff up over it. [Blue in the Bluegrass]
Can we PLEASE stop talking about Ernesto Scorsone’s discharges? We’re absolutely creeped out. The more we read it the more we’re gagging. Please. Make it stop. Rewrite those headlines, kids. [PolWatchers]
The cat’s out of the bag. The politico who filed a complaint with the IRS against Say No to Casinos is William Shackleford of The Rural Democrat. And it looks like TRD is back in action. (And we love it when mainstream press folks take story ideas from us, fyi.) [Hebert, The Rural Democrat 1, 2]
Finally, how hilarious is it that the C-J’s bloggers claimed Steve Beshear’s call for a press conference was “BREAKING” news? [The Arena]

I think the C-J article commenters may have the Youtube video commenters beat on “scum of the earth” award.
