Aww, we’ve got a cute, anonymous stalker at Mark Nickolas’ attack site who likes to call us “I heart Trey.” Never mind that Nickolas himself is an ardent supporter of Trey Grayson and had a tight working relationship with his office as early as 2006.
In a story on Bluegrass Report today, Walter Hawkins brings up the fact that Trey Grayson was endorsed by crazy nutbag Frank Simon in 2007 and demands that Grayson renounce Simon’s endorsement.
What neither Walter nor our stalker bothered to do was research. Because Grayson’s campaign told us back in October that Trey renounced Simon’s endorsement.
The folks who still haven’t renounced Simon’s endorsement? Current State Treasurer Todd Hollenbach and Bruce Hendrickson, Grayson’s opponent in 2007, who now has a sweet state job.

Actually Hollenbach is the only candidate who Simon endorsed who actually sent a letter to Simon telling him he was rejecting it. Hendrickson was not endorsed by Simon in the general election, Grayson was.
Grayson may have told his number one fan he was rejecting the endorsement, but did nothing further.

Hollenbach did NOT renounce Simon. That is a lie, and I know that better than anyone, since I was leading the effort to get him to do it.
liar.

Actually, Todd didn’t renounce Simon’s endorsement. Nowhere in that letter did he renounce it. And, as this very site reported, Todd REFUSED to lett David Hawpe of the Courier-Journal publish the letter or reveal to the public that he didn’t want Simon’s endorsement.

I love that I’m finally able to find out that it’s someone at KDP attacking Sonka and myself. Thom Karmick, perhaps? Certainly sounds like your writing style and the talking point you have repeatedly used with me.
