Yesterday marked day 63 of Jack Conway refusing to deal with the scandal involving his brother. Naturally, Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson called him out in a press release:

“Jack Conway’s conduct while Attorney General of the Commonwealth is about as appropriate as a string bikini in an ice storm,” said Robertson. “The fact is Jack Conway stepped into a situation that posed a serious conflict of interest and afforded to one man privileges that no one else in this state could have…or should have…received.”

While Robertson’s comments are a bit too colorful for even us to take completely seriously, the five questions he asks are tough to ignore:

1. When Conway learned about the investigation from his brother, why didn’t he publicly disclose that a drug investigation had been compromised?
2. Why did Jack Conway and his brother meet with a private lawyer at Jack’s home and what was said during that meeting?
3. Why did this lawyer meet with the Chief of Police and who directed him to do that?
4. Does Conway believe that the subject of a drug investigation deserves a heads up on a search warrant?
5. What does Conway believe should be the course of action when that happens?

Guess we’ll never know the answers to those questions.

It’s a shame Jack is allowing Republicans to define this race. It’s like he wants to give up serving the public.

Oh, that’s right: Jack is nowhere to be found on this issue because he’s using his official office to send out press releases and photographs (four of them) of his latest child. State-funded campaign stunt much?
