I've not posted in about 4 days, entirely too long I know but Dirty Ernie continues to to blanket Frankfort in the Republican brand of waste, fraud and corruption.

Y'know I'm tired of all this. Kentucky government needs to clean itself up. This good 'ol boy system has gone on long enough. When the Democrats ran Frankfort, it certainly wasn't perfect. Scandals happened. Paul Patton got caught with his pants down and it cost him his political career. BOPTROT was an ugly mess. Governor Fletcher promised to clean up waste, fraud, and corruption in Frankfort. All he's done is made it worse.

I have no doubt in my mind that Greg Stumbo has some political motivations behind what he's done. Someone told me Stumbo doesn't do anything without an angle. The point though is this "opportunity" is here. Fletcher's administration had broken the rules and they, like the Bush administration weren't subtle, they just made wholesale changes and while I respect an executive's need to have his own team in there, this time he went to far. It's a shame that qualified people have lost their jobs because of who they voted for. It's ridiculous.

The reporters at both the Herald-Leader and the Courier Journal are doing a fine job.

Memo

Unfortunately for the image of Kentucky, all this does absolutely nothing except make us look worse. Comments have been made on other blogs suggesting if a few illegal things have to be done to make it for past Democratic problems, then so be it. Not a good attitude. Republicans too often take a self righteous attitude. It's ashame then can't back it up with the moral behavior to go with it. And to imagine... Ernie's a lay minister.
