Beshear Apparently WANTS To Be A Lame Duck

February 29th, 2012 · 1 Comment

This is what Steve Beshear’s crew is all about. And people still try to tell me they’re golden and wonderful people. [H-L]

Whaaaat? You mean Bob Stivers is now pushing a pseudoephedrine bill that sounds dead up like 90% of the alternatives we suggested? Funny how that works. [WKYT]

March is American Red Cross Month in Kentucky. Officially. So why aren’t the Fairness folks complaining about that? It’s an organization that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. And the Commonwealth’s government officially approves of it. [SoS]

A growing number of Americans are struggling to buy food. But everything is puppies and rainbows here! Nothing to see in Kentucky. No poverty at all. [HuffPo]

You’re living on an alien planet if you believe Cindy James replacing David Ray isn’t one of the biggest, most corrupt scandals in Frankfort in a few years. And I’m telling you – keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming scandals. Maybe one involving highway painting by a firm owned by a former legislator’s relative. [C-J/AKN]

It’s a shame this big city editorial didn’t bother mentioning that Steve Beshear only turned down the University of Louisville Hospital merger with the catholic church because of political pressure. Had next to nothing to do with discrimination against women. [NYT]

Hal Rogers is photographed prior to a meeting to discuss the NYPD-Muslim spying scandal. If you feel safe with him in charge of your budgets, something is wrong with you. [SPI]

He’s in that position because his friends love a good knob slob. Especially when it comes to pretending he’s done anything remotely resembling protecting public broadcasting. [Lane Report]

Look at these photographs. Does it remind you of any Democratic legislators with rail thin their trophy wives? No wonder a few of them are so askeerd of the meth. Their wives are probably having meth-fueled sexytime with men a third their age. [Wonkette]

HAHAHA! PEE ALERT! MAJOR PEE ALERT! Mittens Romney is such a failure that he had the Secret Service prevent reporters from publications like The Economist from entering a less than crowded ballroom to hear his speech. [HuffPo]

Rick Santorum may have many qualities, but the main one is that he isn’t Mittens Romney. [The Economist]

Kentuckians are quite familiar with Paulbots. They’re almost as bad and incestuous as the good old boy network of the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party. So this story about Ron Paul loyalists won’t surprise you. [NPR]

How would it be possible for this random guy in Kentucky to know whether or not bullying played a role in the Ohio school shooting? Right. He wouldn’t. [WKYT]

    “Catholic Logic for the Modern Age”

    Archbishop: “The Church has nothing against female reproductive health so long as its sole focus is on procreation.”

    Reporter: “Is that not discrimination against women?”

    Archbishop: “No, my son. We hold men to the same standard.”
