Ernie And The Gang's Kentucky Komments

Go to BluegrassReport for an excellent collection of Kentucky Republican comments from the last few years. The destruction Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher has laid on the state Republican party in the last few years, and it actually looks like people are finally starting to see the real Mitch McConnell to. Which ain't a pretty sight.
I've included a few of my favorites below but go read them all. It's a strange and fun little read in Republicanville.

-
"The war in Iraq has been an "extremely successful undertaking."
-U.S. Senator McConnell's (R) take on the Iraq War.

"But the facts are what they are. The fact is the pardons happened. The fact is he did take the Fifth (Amendment before a grand jury). The fact is he was indicted. The fact is he does have a legal defense fund. The fact is he said we were going to get to the unvarnished truth, but we didn't."
-Lt. Governor Steve Pence (R) on his decision to abandon Governor Fletcher (R) and endorse Anne Northup (R).

"He has alienated all who wanted to help and is down to two or three he will listen to and they are as unaware of reality as he is."
-Former top Fletcher official Basil Turbyfill concerning Fletcher's firing of staff after pardoning them.

“This Governor has more baggage than a loaded UPS 747-- indictments, pardons, misuse of taxpayer money, hiding donors to his secret fund from public view; it is too much for Republicans to endure.”
-Top Republican strategist Ted Jackson on Governor Fletcher (R).

“If you only hired the most qualified people, how will our people ever get hired?”
-Fletcher adviser and GOP Treasurer Dave Disponett in documents

And last but not least, the ever compassionate Senate President David Williams everybody!:
"It appeared to me that this young man might very well be a provocateur in this entire thing."
-Senate President David Williams (R) after Cumberland College student gets expelled for simply being gay.

I threw in the Basil Turbyfill quote mainly because of the name Basil Turbyfill.
