War in the State House
Earlier today Rep. Susan Westrom (D) blasted the House leadership to Mars in an email that seemingly started a new and wonderful war between rank and file members and the so called House leadership.
What will be the result of this bad blood? Speaker Stumbo?
I am currently trying to get a few opinions from other House members and so far no one wants to talk. House Majority Whip Rob Wilkey is out, Speaker Richards has, very carefully, responded. Now hopefully the press hounds the other House leaders and hopefully gets some reaction.
Governor Beshear's plans or probable plans to call a extraordinary session of the Kentucky General Assembly may be on ice for a while, if he calls it anytime within the next 3 or 4 months it will likely be a total waste.
This rift is cutting deep into the fabric of the standard quo that has been observed for a decade in the state House and with any rift is left a void and that void must be filled. Now we wait and see how far this goes.
















Tuesday in Frankfort; Legislative ethics Commission conducting a hearing on Richards, Stumbo and Stein.

Interesting, it must be one of those ranting nutcases that filed the complaint. If there really is a complaint it will die a quick death. Maybe thats why the press hasnt touched it. The stank.

Sorry, you have me confused with your wife who caught that bad case of microscopic critters when she was performing "lounge services" in the legislative lounge in Frankfort. That kind of "stank" is impossible to eradicate.

You must be that Mischler whack. You sure write like her and with the same egotistical ranting style. Stumbo will be majority leader and nothing will stop him.

Are you saying there is no one in the house of representatives that can stop Stumbo?

Stumbo will be majority leader NOT speaker and yes I am saying Stumbo is good enough to get his way no matter what. The little cattle in the house will just mooo and follow as usual.

The house of representatives are just a bunch of cows according to Stumbo. LMFAO!

Richards has to go. It's way past time.

I agree that Richards needs to be replaced. But do we really want Stumbo in a position of power?

Stumbo will be speaker if Stumbo wants to be speaker. If he gets his ass kicked trying would be bad for him. I think he will in the leadership but where?

If the Democrats in the House choose as one of their leaders a man who reacted to the mother of his illegitimate child seeing back child support from him by suing her for harassment and defamation, there is no hope for them.
Stumbo should be relegated to the back row of the House chambers, not given a position of power and leadership. The "man" is a disgusting, vile, power-hungry subhuman scum sucker.

Beshear wants: CASINOS
Beshear supports: NRA
Beshear sung in a church choir.
To sum up Beshear, he is gambling, gun-toting choir-boy. And this is what KY chose for gov. I have switched to conservative becasue of this man.
