Thursday Afternoon Dept of Ruh Ros & Hot Messes

Dear USPS/Frankfort Capitol staff: Thanks for losing the Golden Poo Awards recently shipped to Governor Steve Beshear and Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo.

Aww, today’s Rand Paul scandal that I gave Joe has gone national. And the story is terrible. Maybe now the press in Kentucky will pay attention. [The Hill]

Crit Luallen’s audit of the Kentucky League of Cities is absolutely damning. Surprising reactions and non-reactions from Jerry Abramson and Jim Newberry, who are directly responsible for this scandal. Unbelievable expenditures (strip clubs are included!), details of an harassment investigation that was kept top-secret and more. Read it all. [Page One]

Auditor’s report blisters League of Cities. [Tom Loftus]

Audit criticizes Kentucky League of Cities spending. [H-L]

The American Red Cross’ Donorama is getting underway soon and you should sign up to give blood. You can save lives. [The ‘Ville Voice]

What? You mean George W. Bush’s fancy tax cuts for the super-wealthy and his legacy of failure are responsible for our record deficit? [Barefoot & Progressive]

You know, I can no longer give Rac… Marcus Carey a free pass. He’s 100% bigot. Racist, homophobic, sexist. It’s a shame people like him - who are so open and vocal with their myriad hatreds - are allowed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I’ve lost all respect for him. This would be a good opportunity for the Fairness Campaign to stop complaining about the Catholic Church (which it can’t do anything about) and maybe start educating the ignorant bigots out in the rest of the state [Bluegrass Bulletin]

When will Joe Arnold stop hyping Rand Paul’s campaign finance schemes and focus on the fact that Paul has a bit of a problem on his hands with his campaign spokesperson? [WHAS11]

Mitch McConnell might be going to prison. Really. He was invited by Dick Durbin. [Politico]

Drex Davis passed away. What a character from Kentucky! He’ll surely be missed. [State Journal]

Hahahaha! “Joe Liberman keeps sending you Mafia War invites.” [Joe Lieberman Wants You Dead]

    Where in Carey’s piece about Jennings is homosexuality mentioned? I scanned it and didn’t see one reference to it.

    Bother clicking any of those links Carey included?

    Where’s the racism from Carey or do you just assume if someone doesnt blindly support Obama they are a racist?

  • 4 jake // Dec 17, 2009 at 8:34 pm

    That’s been addressed on a number of occasions in the past.

    “Mitch McConnell might be going to prison. Really. He was invited by Dick Durbin.”

    DammitDammitDammit.

    That’s really mean of you to raise my hopes like that - and then cruelly, cleverly dash them. Jail time for ol’ MitchMac would be such a great Christmas gift. *sigh*
