| Ky. Governor Ernie Fletcher grants amnesty to charged in merit hiring. |
|
What a PIECE OF SHIT!!
GOP = CORRUPTION
pure and simple.
A brief summary of the first part of his speech:
Bloviating about cutting spending instead of raising taxes to lower $1billion deficit into $214 million surplus.
Dismisses illegal hiring practices as "management mistakes"
Says, "The buck stops here" and gets applause.
Justifying the illegal hiring practices saying Dems did it but used phone while they used email and got caught.
"I never knowingly violated any laws"...more applause.
Obviously a stacked crowd.
"My conscience is clear..."
"This appears to be a political investigation"
"Statute...has been described as...being vague and confusing. In fact, it has never been used to indict any employee of Kentucky State government."
Dismissing the indictments as mere misdemeanors
more applause
Comparing indictments to something called "noodling" (catching fish with your bare hands.)
WTF?
"Greg Stumbo is wasting your tax dollars."
Bloviating about healthcare being more important than the investigation and, I think this was what he said, something about Stumbo should investigate fraud in Medicare.
Asking "what's the best way to spend your Kentucky tax dollars?"
"I cannot allow state government to be consumed by political gotcha...it may not be good politics but I believe, after long nights of prayers...to use the power you invested in me"
Here it comes...pardon... I bet
Says he will appear tomorrow before the grand jury but won't speak
pleading the 5th? Hunh? I don't know for sure what he meant.
"2nd, in order to bring closure...to grant amnesty to all persons who might otherwise be charged with violating merit system laws."
"I will not pardon myself"
"I therefore call upon the Attorney General to honor this amnesty...these folks charged by Greg Stumbo are good people...No one will avoid accountability."
:puke: :puke: :puke:

| 4. ......."I will not pardon myself?!!!" He said that? |
|
And there wasn't massive hooting laughter?
Gee, that's much better than "I am not a crook."!!
