Jefferson Poole is sorry he didn’t write anything while he was in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration– he just doesn’t care that much. Even though he traveled 600 miles and apparently went out of his way to be there. He thinks Clarence Thomas got booed because people are racist and not because of the Coke can and the pubic hair. Also, a scary mob of libruls ambushed the po-leece! Libruls! He’s right about Bill Clinton’s hideous portrait, though. [BGRS]

This is a glaring example of why Kentucky’s social work system is broken, underfunded, lacking leadership or any modicum of common sense. Should serve as a wake-up call to us all. [Debbie Yetter]

Ruh ro: Fred Yang, no stranger to Kentucky politics, is now caught up in the Rod Blagojevich scandal. And when we say caught up, we really mean it. This isn’t going to turn out well. [Huffington Post]

Appeaser Brad Cummings, chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, is in the tank for that Barack Obama. He put out a fancy press release this morning praising his fellow in-the-tankers for introducing an ordinance in the Commonwealth’s largest city that calls for Mayor Big Head and the Metro Council to create a “Searchable Accountability Website.” It would allow the public to easily review information about how tax dollars are spent by the city. Yup. Following in Barry Obama’s lead and just cold swimmin’ in that tank. [Press Release]

According the Jefferson Poole’s latest tantrum, the fact that Clarence Thomas was booed while Scalia, Roberts and Alito weren’t means one thing: “[I]f you’re honest with youself, you will admit that it is racism.”
There are many non-racist reasons Thomas was booed, not the least of which is that he’s the most manifestly unqualified justice on the High Court.
I suspect that if Dubya had managed to ramrod Harriet Miers through confirmation (which proved impossible) she would have been booed too.
Jefferson, the thing that kept me equally nauseated and livid through the past eight years of shrill-shrieking fraud was the constant executive assaults on my intelligence. Al Gonzales, for example, whored out the Justice Department to the White House repeatedly and yet couldn’t seem to recall anything under oversight.
How does one enforce any semblance of accountability with buffoons who pretend to have no memory?
I’m sure you’d like to think I’m anti-Hispanic. Quite the contrary. I’ve slept with more Hispanics than you’ve shaken hands with.
That’s why I find promoting incompetent minorities to high-profile positions so offensive. I can’t imagine a more effective way to advance racism than that.
Miers and Gonzales were sycophantic shills for Dubya and Thomas is a sycophantic shill for Tony Scalia.
I suppose that last observation makes me (1) anti-black, (2) anti-Italian or (3) both.
Jefferson, if you’re honest with yourself, you will admit that you’re being more disingenuous than honest when you present your opinions as facts, accuse people with whom you differ of racism and impose your narrow views on the rest of the free world.
Free your mind and seek the truth, for a change.
Furthermore, it’s supremely immature (not to mention impolitic) to insult your readers.
“Can’t figure that one out? Try thinking more.”
