Beshear uses ethics as cover for political event

You can't make up this stuff that continually happens in the administration of Steve Beshear. He issues a bogus executive order on ethics reform. The next day, he flies the state airplane to Bowling Green under the guise of rolling out his ethics reform package. The real reason he went there was to promote the candidacy of a Democratic candidate for the State House of Representatives.

Charlene Rabold, who's running this fall against State Rep. Jim DeCesare (R-Bowling Green), stood with the governor for a photo that appeared in today's Bowling Green Daily News. Rabold, a realtor and former teacher, received praise from Beshear and Speaker Jody Richards (D-Bowling Green).

Here's what the newspaper had to say about that:

He stopped at the Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport as part of a statewide tour to explain provisions of the ethics package, greeted by about 20 people including House Speaker Jody Richards, Mayor Elaine Walker, District 4 Magistrate Tommy Hunt, Bowling Green city commission candidate Bill Carter, state Democratic Party general counsel Kerry Morgan, former 21st District state representative candidate Malcolm Cherry and current 21st District state representative candidate Charlene Rabold. Richards introduced Rabold to Beshear as “our new representative.” She’s running against incumbent Republican Jim DeCesare.

Continued . . .

Here's the rub: Beshear is constantly in campaign mode. He's the epitome of governing by press release. His executive order on ethics reform contains none of the tough regulations that the legislature had in its final draft. Beshear wouldn't let that bill see the light of day because it would have prevented him from raising campaign cash from state vendors. Pretty ethical of him to do that, don't you think?

And the Herald Misleader's Brammer, Keeling and Kelly think this is a good thing. See today's editorial. You really can't fix stupid.

Mah momma always said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Momma didn't say that. She said never trust a white shoe lawyer named Steve Beshear.

Ah, Brammer, Kelly and Keeling AKA The Glorious A-Hole Trio. These bores light up a room like a lightning bug cut in half and all should be considered contributions in kind to the jackass party.

You should be glad you're leaving this cesspool of a state, Brett. Unfortunately, we get the government we deserve, and nearly 60 percent of the people in this state (not me) voted for this tool that's in office now.

I really think someone needs to sell "Dont Blame Me, I Voted For Fletcher" stickers. Not too long ago I found an extra Fletcher-Rudolph sticker and stuck it back on my vehicle. i don't want anyone to think I had any part in the trainwreck that is the Beshear administration.

Beshear is a disgrace.

I voted for Beshear. I'd vote for Fletcher in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Maybe we should also print up some bumper stickers that say, "Blame me. I voted for Beshear."

Hey, lay off Brammer and Keeling. These guys are international treasures. They are two of only 12 known walking talking human hemorrhoids in the universe. Right here in little old Kentucky. We are blessed to have these dingleberry holders in our midst.

That explains Larry Dale's pursed lips.

Lay off my boy Larry Dale.

Keeling is the same dum-a-- that penned an editorial calling the House's pension reform plan a good idea. That plan did cut costs by $400 million. Of course the plan is going to be another $800 million in debt. Only a complete idiot could call such a plan a good idea. And these clowns control news information for a still amazingly large portion of eastern Kentucky.

Larry Dale made the mistake of bashing the current governor and his editors gave him a haircut over it. Now, he's in love with the guv. Steve could squat and lay a two-pounder on the Capitol lawn and Larry Dale would spray paint it gold and mount it on his office wall.

I like dingleberry when applied to Larry Dale. Think he likes Dingleberry Jam?

Dingleberry Jam

Dingleberries are harder to pick than blackberries. And, you have to really work to coax them into those little jars. Larry Dale can tell you how they taste on a Ritz cracker.

What about ole Turkey Neck?
