Steve & Jerry Travel the Commonwealth

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Mayor McCheese Jerry Abramson and Governor Steve Beshear traveled the state yesterday and today to promote their 2011 (obviously not 2012, as WSAZ suggests) candidacy for Governor and Lt. Governor. They were also handing out checks and road funds. So we imagine they were received quite well. (Did the state pay for these trips? Chad [...]

Now that we know Robin Webb will face Jack Ditty in the special election on August 25th, let’s discuss things. Will Webb gain the State Senate seat vacated by Charlie Borders and put power that much closer to the Democrats?

Page One & The ‘Ville Voice on TeeVee!

July 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

We’re back again this week. And my favorite part of the segment? When Barry Bernsen has no idea about these internet tubes and struggles through our domain names, not realizing that Rick didn’t uncover the Daniel Mongiardo shenanigans. Check out the clip, though, as we hit on the Louisville mayoral race and the U.S. Senate [...]

The Jim King Elephant In the Room

July 22nd, 2009 · 13 Comments

Let’s address the Jim King elephant in the room. Everyone who reads this site knows I’ve held the hot iron to the feet of both Metro Councilman Jim King and his daughter, Judge Katie King, for over a year. And despite what a few loud critics have suggested, the two do not receive special treatment [...]

Hopefully Today Will Be a Bit More Calm?

July 22nd, 2009 · 19 Comments

Did you miss the bombshell yesterday? We provided an inside look at the Mongiardo campaign. Budget, financial plan, communication schedule. We obtained internal campaign documents that revealed it all. And it was insane.

Your Afternoon Dept of All Kindsa Drama

July 21st, 2009 · 5 Comments

You probably won’t want to miss this insane story from the Mongiardo Campaign. Obtained copies of internal campaign documents that reveal an interesting look inside the most awkward of campaigns.  So far we’ve heard from the DSCC, DNC, SKD, House folks, Senate folks.  They’re all blown away at the ridiculous spending machine.
