This is one for the history books: a right-wing independent expenditure group got an anti-Jack Conway ad correct. Strange, for sure. And it’s being completely ignored by the mainstream media – they’re allow Jack Conway to white wash the scandal as he has done for a year. [Page One]

Papaw Beshear still hasn’t repaid the state for all of his campaign-related travel. But that comes as a shock to absolutely no one. [C-J/AKN]
Wondering why people don’t trust or listen to teabagger hypocrites? I mean, arrests for theft and making shiz up aside? Here’s why – they’re continually foaming out the mouth with conspiracy theories that aren’t remotely based in fact. And they’re still telling everybody who’ll listen that they’re going to “take over the RPK.” One of them is, anyway, while using his faux non-profit as a payday and daily spam email machine.

David Adams 15 minutes was up a long time ago. He is the Elmer Gantry of Kentucky politics.
He completely mismanaged Phil Moffett’s campaign. Instead of taking all his money off the top as salary, if that money would have been spent on actual campaign expenses the primary results might have been different.
His new group also seems to be all about him. Show us the money – if there is any!!! Where is his groups contribution to the Kemper campaign that he is always championing? Talk is cheap. It is time for him to back it up. I am pretty sure that the Kemper campaign would have loved to have David walk the walk.

The Republicans really screwed up by not nominating Addia Wuchner.

And regarding the Breathitt County deal … that’s just the tip of the iceberg, from what I hear. There is double heat on several local officials because of alleged misappropriation of FEMA money in addition to the vote buying scandal. The county judge and the school superintendent (who already is in legal trouble relating to nondisclosure of sexytime at one of the local schools) are said to be as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. One of the indictments was for lying to the grand jury; the thought is now that the indictees will sing like songbirds.
