We called this ages ago. The re-election campaign of Rep. John Yarmuth (D KY-03) is taking over the former Obama headquarters in Louisville. Since the Obama campaign has abandoned Kentucky once for all. [Politicker]
Oh, and Trey Grayson rightfully criticizes Governor Beshear for excluding the Secretary of State’s office from having the opportunity to appoint rotating members of the Executive Branch Ethics Commission.

People are literally suggesting that the girl be court martialed as a result of her interview with a right-wing blogger. [BGRS]

I am curious as to how the EBEC is formed, whether its authority is statutory or if it was created through a constitutional amendment. I am also curious to know whether or not Beshear’s changes to the appointment process, done with a stroke of the pen and without approval of the legislature, is legal.
I would say that Treytor Grayson ought to request an AG’s opinion, but we all know how that would turn out. Perhaps Grayson ought to go file suit to block that executive order.
