Oh Snap Monday! KACo Shiz Still Raging

August 17th, 2009 · 8 Comments

Karen Sypher gave the media photographs of herself in a BIKINI! Seriously! Can’t make this shiz up. Rick Pitino may be a cheating, lying abortionist but this woman is batshiz. [New York Post]

Love him or not, David Hawpe has been a fixture in Louisville for a lifetime. Read his last column. Yesterday was his last day at the paper after 40 years. [David Hawpe]

The wingers who believe in death panels are the same kooks who supported government intervention in the Terry Schiavo case. [HuffPo]

Here’s a tip: you can’t get ticked off if Ben Chandler doesn’t show up to an event you don’t invite him to. [Bluegrass Politics]

The Courier-Journal editorial board has taken not of the Karl Rove U.S. Attorney firing scandal. [C-J]

The KACo scandal just won’t die. Bob Arnold’s selective firings have cost the Kentucky Association of Counties $1.8 million since 2000. But that’s not all. More than $2.2 million wasted. [Ryan Alessi]

Schadenfreude dream come true! David Tandy says he’s running for mayor. For real. [Page One]

There’s wishful thinking and then there’s wishful thinking to the nth degree. Rick Pitino, Trey Grayson. And, we still think it’s weird that Paul Patton is the president of Pikeville College. [Larry Dale Keeling]

Can Robin Webb pull it off in the special election. She appears to have tons of support even while being relentlessly attacked by Republicans. What will happen? [Barefoot & Progressive]

Rick Pitino is indeed a chivalrous man for offering to, you know, pay for the abortion. Heh. [Fat Lip]

    I bet Sypher got a good deal on those puppies!

    How many days will go by before we learn that Hawpe has accepted a postion to work for Daeschner at Greater Clark Schools? That seems to be the place to go for the retired, geriatric crew from Jefferson County. My condolences to the kids in So. IN that have to deal with the good ole’ boys of Jefferson County: Daeschner, Bell, Sexton, ……..Hawpe?

    “Stupid Is as Stupid Says”

    Yes, it was “batshiz” for Ms. Sypher to dress down in that bikini for the NY Post. A planned stupidity. Not any better was Pitino’s silly smile before his tasteless press conference. Another stupidity, whether planned or not.

    Wow. Hawpe and Mayor Happy Pants bowing out at the same time. Maybe Doctor Ramsey will make it a happy trifecta? Possibility City, anyone?

    “A Nice Thought, But a Daydream”

    Belknap Banquo, you offer up a wonderful possibility, but it is sadly in the arena of wonderment. JR won’t go as long as he’s joined to the hip with the Board of Trustees. To disengage them would take one of the most momentous and gutsy decisions that the gubmint in Frankfort ever made. And Henry Clay died long ago.

    Check out that frenchified moustache on KACO’s Bob Arnold. It looks like it’s getting ready to fly off his lip. Oh, and Karen Sypher was seeking 11 grand a month support from an ex clearing 4 grand a month. Math is hard.

    She better have gotten a deal. Those things are faker than Trey Grayson’s handshake and further apart than Sarah Palin and sense.
    It really is unfortunate that she looks exactly like all the blow-up sex dolls that are going to show up among the opposition fans at U of L basketball games this season.

    Sad thing is, and I hate to admit it, but I’d tap it. Unlike the coach, tho, I’d be smart enough to put on a raincoat!
