July 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments

We’ve remained silent so far. But it’s time to speak up. Because this is getting embarrassing for Democrats.
Or it’s just plain hilarious.
Worst of all, the Beshear Administration has had no ethical scandals. None.
Yeah, it’s so ethical to give your former law firm no-bid contracts. It’s so ethical to appoint people to […]

TGIF Updates - Ready For the Reveal???

June 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Turns out that we were right to trust our sources. Steve Beshear’s Chief of Staff Jim Cauley is leaving the administration and will be replaced by Adam Edelen, current Executive Director of Homeland Security.
Good move on the governor’s part.
