Republicans in the state of Kentucky are still feeling the heat from the scalding they received from Kentucky Democratic Blogs and whistleblowers, which helped to bring down a corrupt republican governor.

This is their answer.

An unrepentant Limbaugh/Hannity Republican, whom I have worked with for years, has informed me that he plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election- because she’s more conservative than John McCain.

He was serious.

There are a legion of websites on the net that claim to keep up with the Intelligence world; but one in particular wonders out loud at the unusual amount of Secret Service protection surrounding Barak Obama.

What do they know that we don’t?

Edit:

It's been pointed out to me that this has been posted already- please disregard.

My wife reads Hollywood gossip just for the humor of it, but when I saw this article looking over her shoulder I almost spewed the monitor with coffee...

According to these folks, Trent Lott is resigning because he's Gay.

Too funny; too stupid; too silly (you fill in the blank) not to share.

Well that's the official view of Representative Jim Gooch, a Kentucky State Legislator who used his positon as Chairman of the interim joint Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee to hold a government hearing on the topic where he-

A. Refused to invite any scientist who warns of Global Warming
B. Only invited those who claim Global Warming in junk science.

Pardon me while I gag... more after the jump.

Kentucky College Dem's aren't waitng to leap into the battle for 2008- they've fired their first Salvo and it's a doozey.

Great job, everybody- keep up the good work!

How come no one else has noticed this?

RNC Chairman Mike Duncan couldn't even win his own county for an incumbent republican governor.

In Kentucky.

Think about that.

You know, ugly rumors these days have a way of tunring out to be true. Well here's a doozey- Pelosi and the House leaders threw Stark under the bus and forced him to apologize.

Apologize or the censure passes- nice friends, huh?

Amendment to the Constitution
Military Leadership Act

George Bush; Dan Quayle; Dick Cheney and John Ashcroft just to name a few; the gallery of privileged individuals who avoided combat by virtue of personal influence is as infamous as it is long; but now the increasing cavalier polices of the United States threatens to destroy one of the finest military organizations in the History of the world, ultimately putting our entire nation at peril.

There is a solution- but the ‘politics as usual’ crowd isn’t going to like it. Simply put we need a permanent Draft amendment; but a Draft so specific that military adventurism will no longer be a pain-free option for those who are elected to lead. A Draft that requires the Legislative and Executive branches to provide their children anytime they decide to send our children to war.

Gazing into the crystal ball, the next step I see for the GOP- prerequisite open statements of heterosexuality by office holders, and a ban on gay/lesbian membership in the republican party.

It’s been years in the making- the GOP party plank of intolerance for gay/lesbian Americans- and now it’s come home to roost in spades. Though the republicans have taken pains over the years to promote their homophobia as much as they could short of a statement that they were ‘building camps to affect a final solution’, they have in reality created a situation from which they cannot move forward without fundamentally damaging their party, and here’s why...

Well, that's what they're telling me.

Anyone else get an Email like this?

The Bush Administration is appointing Judge Reggie Walton of the Scotter Libby Trial to the FISA court.

I'm not sure what to make of this other than the administration has been so burned by the DOJ Scandal that they're not even going to tempt fate by putting up someone who might draw attention to their appointment.

Walton, on the face of things, looks to be a good choice for this position.

I can't help but wonder if the Justice Department is worried about getting caught behind the 8 ball on this one. They're going to 'investigate' before the real investigation begins.

Domestic Spying Program to Get Internal Review
By JASON RYAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27, 2006 — The Justice Department's inspector general has informed the Judiciary and Intelligence committees of both the House and Senate that he will begin a review of the controversial NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program.

In a letter to the committees, Inspector General Glenn Fine wrote that the review would be to examine the Justice Department's "controls and use of information related to the program and the department's compliance with legal requirements governing the program."

"A former senior Republican official in Congress says Foley was one of a handful of members and staff whose behavior with pages was being closely watched."

Governor invokes Fifth in grand jury appearance  
06:47 PM EDT on Tuesday, August 30, 2005

A sitting Kentucky governor has refused to answer questions from a grand jury that called him to testify. That's what Ernie Fletcher did Tuesday in Frankfort.

...Governor Fletcher walked up the wet steps of the Franklin County courthouse with his wife Glenna. He was headed to the grand jury room. He kissed his wife before going into the secret proceedings, sitting in the witness chair and refusing to testify.

Fletcher invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, though he insists he's never willfully committed any violations of state merit laws.
