Millionaire politicians being self-serving hypocrites..wow… that IS news.
Please Dr. Dan, say fuck it all and leave Kentucky alone. Pretty please? With ethics on top?

Who is “Breshear” ?

I got the impression that Breshear originally was really a sort of “stand-in” during the last gubernatorial election, a place-holder, an “acceptable” Democrat who would reap the vote of all those who were turned off by Fletcher and/or Bush. During his administration the Dems were expected to come up with a TRULY viable candidate, with name recognition and appeal, who actually wanted the job and would do amazing things for ALL Kentuckians (except David Williams).

YC…just in case you missed it…I wasn’t saying the types of recordings (in the Dr Dan story) were illegal. I suggested that telephone/electronic transmitted conversations were. I was merely offering what I understood the laws to be to LG, who asked the question.
Geez…I certainly hope you’re not a lawyer…as you missed that…and inferred a whole different meaning from that which was obvious to everyone else.
[voting democrat is far easier that getting a job. keep it up.]
Apparently you must have missed the part where I made the point that I couldn’t vote dem…because I’m not a registered dem…again…given your penchant for inferring what’s not there and missing altogether what is…I sincerely hope no one has to count on your low powered perception to safeguard their rights…I sincerely hope you are NOT a lawyer, if you are…I sincerely hope you have a good paralegal that can READ for you, as you miss entirely too many obvious details.
I’ll have to guess by your post about dems and jobs…you must think I’m either a dem or a liberal…(that’s funny). Jake has called me an “arch conservative” at times…and I liked it!
I’m a conservative that mocks the GOP for being too liberal, too lacking in thrift, and too inclined to encroach on our rights.

Folks in the Governor’s office sent the audio my way a few days ago.

So I’m not convinced it’s a Paul supporter.

young con-

where do you get the notion that these comments were made in a public forum? because of the “birds” in the background? or is it the “crowded marketplace” effect that someone layered over the recording?

haha, where the hell did you come from? straight from that wacko bland paul site that posted this thing?

E-

You’re right: You are not a lawyer. The wiretap statute doesn’t cover this type of intercept and it isn’t necessary for all parties to consent. Not to mention that these statements were made in a public forum, not on the phone.

LeGardien…I’m no lawyer, but I believe telephone intercepts fall under FCC regulations, as well I believe it is illegal to record from electronic transmissions unless all parties are aware of the recording (hence the disclaimer at the beginning of any call to a service center).

I’ll not be able to vote in the primary unless I change my party affiliation…but if I were a dem, this would actually entice me to vote for Dr Dan. How refreshing, a politician who doesn’t NEED to be Senator. I’d fear a probable career politician much more than I’d fear a ‘potty mouth’.

Lorne Michaels clarified. Dan meant “frig”.
