How was your weekend? How’d you spend it? Kathy Groob spent hers trying to steal an election that she’s already lost. The KDP Queen and her Republican spokesperson spent their time on the blogs talking about how gay I am and how badly I’m in love with Trey Grayson. And we spent ours doing some work that we couldn’t get done during the election hoopla, watching all kinds of Roseanne on the TiVo and watching movies on the iTunes like Swiss Family Robinson and The Great Escape. Yes, it was awesome.
Now it’s Monday, cold and we’re getting caffeinated. Hope you (even the poorly dressed people we dislike) had fun this weekend!
The Executive Branch Ethics Commission charged Bill Nighbert with violating the state ethics code. He allegedly failed to report his partial ownership in Double Buck, LLC. Nighbert has 20 days to file a response with the commission. The maximum penalty? $5,000. Which, is, oh, a waste of time or whatever, right? Why even bother if that’s the maximum? [C-J]
The internet gambling lawsuit is such a waste of time that the Office of the Attorney General wants no part of it. [Mark Hebert]
You should be terribly, terribly afraid of what’s going down on the economic front. Education and social services have no money. The governor has no money. Tuition rates keep going up. Greg Stumbo will probably ruin everything. We’re all gonna die of the starvation and the poverty. [Ronnie Ellis]
Yeah, his name is Woody the Kentucky Wiener. And we are… um… Ugh. MAKE IT STOP. We CANNOT have something called Woody the Wiener. I know we’re huge perverts, but, uh… Ugh ugh ugh fail. And they talk about him on Kentucky LIfe! Fail! [Page One & Woody’s Official Website]
Who wants to listen to Scott Jennings (they’re calling him a “political expert”) explain the basics of election law “in a fast-paced style with plenty of real-life examples” ?? Haha, yeah…. That’s a good move. The Louisville Advertising Federation is hosting a breakfast at Winston’s in Louisville that’s sponsored by Greenebaum Doll & McDonald on Thursday, November 20th at 8:00 A.M. Wonder if anyone will ask Scott about his role with Karl Rove in the whole judicial firings snafu? It’s so fancy how all of these folks in Louisville conveniently ignore Scott’s involvement in one of the worst political scandals of all time. Scott Jennings talking about the law. Hahahaha. If you wanna toss $15 bucks away, hope to it. Should be hilarious. [Louisville Ad Fed]
Read the rest about embarrassing me, fellatio, the confederate flag and listen to John Yarmuth’s fancy appearance on Francene last week after the jump…
Aww, look. Now Jefferson Poole is afraid of gay marriage. We love how Republicans try to play themselves off as experts on racial equality and what’s right and wrong when it comes to marriage. [Anne’s Lone Supporter]
Oooh, yeah, come embarrass me! The one person with a big mouth who has 100% of the time complained about the Democratic Party and at one point questioned whether or not he should leave the party. Yeah, soooo embarrassing to point out that I’m not really a Democrat. I’m not– it’s just the Party most closely aligned with my political ideology and I have to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Primaries. I love how people bull bullshit out of their hats and attack the messenger, never the message. As William has pointed out, everyone is entitled to their opinion about whatever they want. But in this instance it’s not about opinion. Jennifer Moore (it’s not a personal thing this time because we’re dealing with facts) is peddling mistruths while the Secretary of State is being nothing but open and honest– going so far as to release documents to the press. Read all the comments– we especially love the reference to oral sex. Hot. [Read the Comments]
Yes, Mormons did tip the scale in the gay marriage ban in California with not only money but institutional support and dedicated volunteers. Keep on spinning, Mormons, keep on acting like I’m blowing gay smoke up your butts. [NYWTimes]
In the final days of the Bush Administration, Dubya is being flooded with pardon requests. Literally hundreds. Folks like securities fraudster Michael Milliken, steroid abuser Marion Jones, American Taliban John Walker Lindh. Even two border patrol agents convicted for shooting a Mexican drug lord. Of course, everyone expects Scooter Libby to request a pardon. And what about Kentuckian Scott Jennings? Someone should ask him if he plans to request a pardon for his alleged role in the judicial firings scandal. [Newsweek]
Don’t miss Brad Asher’s letter to the editor about the fancy John McCain-Confederate Flag cartoon that the Courier-Journal ran. He points out an hypocrisy that most mouth-breathers have ignored. [C-J]
Remember John Yarmuth’s appearance on Francene last week? Her producer just let us know that they’ve podcasted the entire thing so you can listen to it all on the web. Yarmuth, you’ll recall, is no fan of Rahm Emanuel and made it clear last week on Francene’s show by telling stories from his 2006 election about how badly he hates Rahm. Rumor has it that Rahm lost that finger because John bit it off in a bitter cat fight. So, go listen! [Francene!]

Scott Jennings is a bloated, babbling buffoon. He sells his brief experience with the Bushies as expertise. He’s a charlatan and a snake oil salesman.

I don’t think he’s a buffoon. Glutton, definitely.
And he does sell his possibly-criminal experience with the Bush Machine as expertise.
But let’s not call anyone something unless we know for certain that it’s without a doubt what they are.
