C-J Oracle: Give me corrupt government before conservative government

The rancid silo of bankrupt ideas at the corner of 6th and Broadway in Louisville has managed yet another doozie. Chief liberal apologist and sometime columnist David Hawpe writes today on his philosophy about corruption in government: it's okay with him, as long as the corrupt are advancing liberal ideals. 

Today's Courier-Journal editorial page is receiving our nomination for birdcage liner of the year. Hawpe's twisted sense of morality would turn a blind eye, yea even encourage, the taking of bribes in the name of big government, higher taxes and increased regulation of the citizenry.

If you thought it was the responsibility of Kentucky's Fourth Estate to hold government accountable and root out the corrupt, then you're sadly mistaken as long as Hawpe is calling the shots at the Courier-Journal.

 

P.S. David, thanks for the shout-out today in your column!

Hawpe's a fool. He's a charter member of Louisville's Flat-Earth Society.

Time to clean out the attic at the CJ.

If we want to put a stop to this I say we all follow the college newspaper plan when those rags wrote against our interests. Hit every CJ newspaper box in the city and empty them. It only costs 50 cents and you'll get enough rag to line your bird cages for months. The cost might even be deductible as it would definitely be a public service.

[The Liberal]

Even I'm embarrassed by the load that Hawpe is shoveling today.

[Horace Greeley Farmer]

You guys at kypolitics should feel validated that old Hawpe is calling you out!

[Snuffy Shapiro]

David Hawpe is a turd on a biscuit. Besides, I thought he didn't read blogs.

Just think what a Nirvana Kentucky would be if it weren't for all those years Republicans ran everything. Take the buyout Hawpsux.

[Timothy Leary]

Am hallucinating about it now, man.

Nice mugshot of Hawpsux. That one's from his arrest for impersonating a journalist.

[Well it's worth what?]

It's because of baffons like Hawpe and Baye that the CJ has to give away its newspaper. I recently received a phone call asking if I'd take the paper FREE for a year...NO WAY I told the poor sap on the line, it's not even worth that!

Oh, by the way Mr Hawpsux, Mitch McConnell did win re-election to the Senate, and yes he is the most powerful person in KY. Sorry, you can breakdown now.

[David Adams]

Snuffy Shapiro, in his 10:53 comment, raises a great point. The new political lie of the 21st Century is "I don't read blogs, but someone told me..."

Weatherman, what you are advocating is theft and is against the law. Even though many (most) college newspapers are distributed free of charge, people who do what you advocate are often criminally charged.

[Loftus Brownnose Hawpsux Jr.]

Sniff. Sigh. Such a snotty selection of slanderous slop, from sad and silly and slithering snakes. You Republican peasants are but an idle amusement to King David and the River Fields Court. Be gone, ye ignorant knaves.

Wow, what passes for journalism from the democrat ministry of propaganda (aka the MSM).

[Weatherman]

OK 3:51 (aka Weak Knees), thanks for the comment.

Hawpe is just warming up for Stumbo to be Speaker.

C-J Orifice is more like it. Take the buyout David.

Weatherman, aren't Republicans supposed to be the party that supports law and order (the concept, not the TV series)?

Isn't that why you whined incessantly about Fletcher, claiming he was a criminal?

(If you love Annie so much, you might want to go defend her over at Page One where Gay Jake is claiming she's a slobbering drunk).

Easy on Anne. She's only mean when she's drunk. Hey, wait a minute....

[Weatherman]

Get your facts straight Skippy, I never claimed Saint Ernie was a criminal. My case against him is that he's nothing more than a politically incompetent Jesus freak who purposefully attempted to bring down his fellow Republicans.

(And I won't go to Page One, I hate faggots.)

Now we know Weatherman isn't Ted Jackson.

Hey Weatherman, PageOne is hysterical expose of the mindlessness of Lousyville political life for the urban progressives in "a hick red state". Most of their posts are contradictory and bitch-fitty. It represents everything that is wrong with that city.

[Triumph]

Hey hey hey Little Davie Hawpe is a fine journalist, for me to poop on!

No, PageOne doesn't represent Louisville or KY politics, it represents Jake. The world according to his fancy pants.

Jake's just a country boy from Elk Fork. That's in Morgan County, for the geographically illiterate -- which would include Louisville, where 9/10ths of the population probably don't know the difference between Clay, Clay City and Clay County -- or Morgantown, Morganfield and Morgan County.

Can't we find some way to give Louisville to Indiana? Please, please, please?

That would be great 10:17. That way the rest of this hell-hole state could rot away and you all could go from your double wides to Airstreams. Say hey to Jethro and Billy Bob for me.
