Two mainstream media outlets wrote about the Republican Party’s press conference calling Steve Beshear out for using the governor’s mansion for a political fundraiser. Both outlets repeated that Ernie Fletcher never held a fundraiser at the mansion, which isn’t true. We proved that yesterday. [H-L, C-J]
Attorney General Jack Conway just announced that […]

“Jake” can “cackle with the best of hens” - meaning he’s a huge flaming fruit, right? Guess there are some folks who haven’t heard his voice or met him. And for the record: Jack Westwood *does* have a screw loose. Otherwise he wouldn’t have attacked Diane Brumback for having had an […]

It was just a couple weeks ago when Jerry Lundergan told dozens upon dozens of people that Greg Stumbo would soon be sending out a letter stating that he is absolutely not getting into the Speaker Pro-Tem’s race and would be supporting Joni Jenkins.

In a story today about the retirement of House Majority Whip Rob Wilkey, usually tired hack Brett Hall is spot-on.
As we’ve reported for months now, and Keeling’s story today reaffirms, Rep. Greg Stumbo (D-Prestonsburg) is staging a House leadership comeback, probably aiming for the speakership. What else is there for the ex-attorney general who has […]

Did you know? There was a primary in Indiana and North Carolina last night. Hillary Clinton beat that mean, black elitist Barack Obama by something like two percentage points. So much for that tie-breaker in Indiana, eh? Now we can count on non-stop campaigning in Kentucky, Jonathan Hurst on the teevee […]

Left-wing Forces are Raging! HAHAHA. That’s the latest fear/smear Mitch McConnell pedaled at the Warren County Lincoln Day dinner. “Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the forces of left-wing Americans are raging and the challenge is enormous.” Oh man, we love the craptastic job Natalie Jordan is doing at The Daily News […]
