You know, I could go on for days and days about hypocrisy and campaign finance. But the fact of the matter is its a laughable cause in Kentucky.

Jim King wrote a letter to the editor you should read:

Your Sept. 18, 2009, editorial regarding a preliminary draft report from the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance (KREF) correctly points out that no laws were broken when King Southern Bank granted credit to my daughter, Judge Katie King during her campaign in 2008. However, I believe your editorial incorrectly and unfairly passes judgment on my actions as a father with respect to family gifts I made to her. Since the preliminary report acknowledges any violations arising from those gifts were non-knowing and caused by the KREF’s unauthorized email to me, I would ask that you respect the process and my effort to do the right thing.

-SNIP-

Your editorial goes on to discuss the resources you assume I have and that those resources somehow give me a special insight into the law. I can infer that you believe I should have sought legal advice to be sure I was right in my interpretation of the KREF advice. The truth is I did send the KREF’s e-mail answer to my lawyers and asked them if I could make the gifts based on the KREF answer.

I think it takes some guts to be man enough to accept sole responsibility.

The Kentucky Registry of Election Finance and the mainstream media can spend nearly three years with the Steve Henry case. They know fully well that he faces indictment and hundreds upon hundreds of charges. And they barely discuss it. He gets fined $50,000. And they never discuss it. The Commonwealth literally spends three years allowing the KSP’s Special Investigations Unit to dig and produce a 4,000-page report. And nothing ever happens. It’s ignored.

But Jim King gives his spoiled daughter some money after asking the advice of the Registry and he’s instantly “guilty”? That’s some bullshiz. The real crooks are walking free. I know because I turned over all the evidence and people are now just sitting on their hands. The efforts of investigators totally being ignored.

That’s our Commonwealth.
