Don’t spin what I say. I did not infer that she’s a conservative, I said she sold out and misled people like Kathy Stein, Joni Jenkins, Jody Richards, Nathan Dickerson, Ernesto Scorsone and others who worked their asses off for her.

I’ve had five or six conversations with her. The longest was the night of the JustFundKY dinner in Lexington.

I know she supports the gays and I also know she’s a full-on liar.

Anyone who reads this site on a regular basis – and you clearly do not – knows that I couldn’t give two shits what you or anyone else thinks.

Kelly *may* be re-elected. Or Kathy Stein and Ernesto Scorsone may decide someone else should hold the seat– someone who won’t flat-out lie to the people putting her in office.

Oh, and sweetie? If I was just a novelty… I wouldn’t have a thriving media operation that’s been built over just two years. And I probably wouldn’t have great access in Frankfort or anywhere else, for that matter.

And if you REALLY knew Kelly Flood’s entire deal, you’d already be aware of everything I’ve published.

I agree that you’re no reporter. Exactly how many conversations have you HAD with Flood? And inferring she’s a conservative? She has presided over more gay marriage ceremonies that anyone in the legislature dumb ass. You’re vindictive rants are just odd…like ‘pass the Thorazine’ weird. Your editor’s note in this article speaks volumes…the whole ‘sweetie’ thing is just pathetic. Trust me when I say you lose any semblance of credibility with that sort of thing. In the end, she’ll be re-elected, you’ll continue to rant and rave…she’ll pass great bills and contribute in meaningful ways and you’ll pass from novelty into obscurity. Sweetie.

Kelly Flood? A progressive?

She LIED to the progressives in order to support the conservatives, where she’s squarely been since election day.

And what the hell is with people who give progressives a free pass just because they’re progressive? THAT is what’s wrong with the progressive movement.

Kelly Flood broke the law when she had an alcohol-fueled party in Larry Clark’s office suite.

Who ever said I was a reporter?

And how am I way off base? Are FACTS to be avoided now? Is that the case?

Give me a fucking break.

I could go on for days about Kelly and her deception. Starting with her days in Florida and ending in the Commonwealth, where one of her campaign speeches including a five-minute trashing of Greg Stumbo– which turns out couldn’t have been further from the truth.

This sort of reporting, trashing Flood, and the editor’s (venomous) and laughable note is an example of everything that’s WRONG with the progressive movement. Dude, you’re WAY off base here and come across as a wing nut. The more you trash Flood, the crazier and more disconnected you sound. Sweetie? Great political reporting. Honestly.

Good question E. The lack of political courage on the part of anyone in Frankfort, together with the desire of a large part of our citizenry’s to remain ignorant, uninformed, and unhealthy, seems to be our destiny as a state. We have a Governor who says he has no future political ambition who plays it safe, a right wing naysayer leading one house, and a despicable person leading (if that’s what you call it) the other.

I am usually an optimist, believing that some transformational leader will emerge, but it seems increasingly unlikely. On the other hand, the state of the economy is making a lot of talented people available. Maybe someone will emerge and be highly motivated to change state government. Right?

If I’m right, then the question that begs to be answered is; who in their right mind would want to step into the pile-of-shit -for-a-budget that the current cast of characters is going to leave behind?

E, I think you’re predicting the future. I think we’ll see some significant turnover/retirements prior to the 2010 filing….

I’d almost wager, that when the time comes obfuscation on the pension issue is no longer an option…we’ll see a wholesale exodus of incumbent lawmakers. They’ll bow out, leaving the REALLY tough legislation and problem solving to someone else.

Any takers?

Amazingly, the billions sent Kentucky’s way from Washington didn’t seem to count against our money woes. In fact, things are still so bad that Speaker Stumbo says the GA will be back this summer to further do the people.. ummm ..make that do the people’s business. The bravery on public pension disaster was truly a session highlight.
