Beautiful Friday of Fancy Extortion & Such

April 24th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Remember Karen Sypher? She was charged today with the extortion of Rick Pitino to the tune of $10 million and with lying to the Feds. Just wait til you hear what she’s accusing Pitino of. It’ll blow your mind and you’ll pee yourself laughing. The judge ordered her to stay quiet. We give her all of 24 hours til she’s blabbing again. [The 'Ville Voice & C-J]

Will Lt. Dan listen to Eller on mountaintop removal? Or will he continue to line his pockets with sweet, sweet campaign cash? [Barefoot & Progressive]

Really, the state legislature has done a terrible job and there’s no reason to trust a word Greg Stumbo or anyone else in leadership have to say about what has or will be accomplished. [Kentucky Club for Growth]

Remember when Greg Fischer filmed a campaign ad at a company he moved from Kentucky to Indiana? Marcus Green’s story in the Courier today focuses on MedVenture as a prime example of businesses leaving downtown Louisville. [C-J]

    Jake – You keep hammering Dan Mongiardo over mountaintop removal. How come you don’t bash the Senator Mitch McConnell, Senator Bunning, Governor Beshear, House Majority Leader Rocky Adkins, Keith Hall, Johnny Ray Turner and every other legislator, County Judge Executive, local senators and State Reps?

    The Lt Governor has zero power as many have said before. Therefore he can’t stop it but Governors, Senate and House leaders certainly can and could have. They have the power to end it.

    The citizens of eastern Ky can stop it by voting out all their elected officials but they have chosen not to.

    Every elected official, Democrat and Republican is responsible for mountain top removal and strip mining. Not the Lt. Governor.

    If we are going to try and end it, lets bust every one of them online. Hammering one elected official in the most powerless office in Kentucky will not accomplish our goal.

    The Ky Club for growth link is absolutely great. I hope that is not the only time someone writes the truth about our entrenched elected officials.
