I still believe it’s great for Mongiardo to tell the truth. Now just wish he’d do so publicly.

If anything this is a reaffirmation that politics is dirty. Since it appears that this was supposed to be a private conversation; his only true mistake was in trusting whoever he was with. The doc didn’t say anything that IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION would shock someone who understood the pressures of running for such an office, particularly when the heat is on. It is almost a given that there is friction between the Gov and the Lt.Gov that’s the nature of politics.

Also, I don’t know why Democrat’s repeatedly beat themselves up about profanity. As VP Dick Cheney told a US Senator to F*%@ off on the floor of the Senate and the Republicans and the press laughed about it. Believe it or not grownups sometimes talk like that.

Right before Beshear terminated my fellow Fletcher appointees and me, we would hear whispers of the coming rapture – how Beshear, the annointed crusader of honor and integrity would arrive on a cloud of heavenly smoke and save the Commonwealth from “Dirty Ernie” as my subordinates liked to call him.

Their sanctimony and smug fervor was cult-like. Of course, their hero turned out to be clunky and ham-fisted from the starting gate. Of all things, he sent Steve Nunn to evaluate us and fire us. About a week after the interview, Nunn sent another Fletcher appointee to fire us, and then he fired THAT guy. Gutless.

But under cover of a gaming/liberal-friendly media (CourierJournal), Beshear has stumbled around Frankfort for about 2 years now – cutting ribbons and trying to get rid of David Williams. Notice there’s no coverage of this audio at the CJ. WTF?

This recording is a rare peek at what only a few of us know firsthand – Beshear is an insincere, untrustworthy and self-serving hack of modest political skill. For him to warmly embrace the plummeting debris that is Jerry Abramson only underscores his underqualification to hold that office.

Two years to go, baby!

Why Beshear, Mongiardo, Conway & Grayson are all wrapped up in their upcoming elections, who is running the state?
Who is out looking for companies to relocate to Kentucky? Who is trying to make Kentucky a better place to live- where children are educated, streets are safe, and families have livable wages?

Resign? Uh, yes.
