Trippin' at dem hq

Forget the psychotropics and sex hormones in the Louisville water system - down at State Democratic Party Headquarters in Frankfort, they're scarfin' down some high-quality hallucinogens.

The Big Sign outside, the one everyone driving east on the interstate can't miss, today reads:

Thank you, Governor Beshear, for strong, ethical leadership.

And Thank YOU, President Bush, for seven years of Peace and Prosperity.

Steve Beshear? Are they seriously talking about this guy?

So strong he can't get the state house run by his own party to approve a casino referendum desired by 80 percent of Kentuckians?

So ethical he named as Finance Secretary a man who gave illegal and outrageous raises to an employee whose main qualifications appears to be her attractiveness as a companion on trips to Las Vegas?

So much of a leader he managed to antagonize every Democrat east of Lexington when he interferred in the local choice of a candidate for a state senate special election. Beshear's choice lost huge to the republican?

Any more strong, ethical leadership like this, and Kentucky Democrats might as well give up and hand the state back to Mitch McConnell.
