Pot, Meet Kettle
Kentucky Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo is calling on Jim Bunning to not run for reelection, calling Senator Non Compos Mentis an embarrassment. (via Steve Benen)
In the immortal words of Media Czech:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bunning may be senile, but it would be hard to find a Democratic politician in Kentucky who is more of an embarrassment right now than Dan Mongiardo.
Forget about Mongiardo gaining the undying enmity of tens of thousands of Kentucky liberals by sponsoring the gay hate amendment in 2004 and thereby losing to Bunning by 1 point instead of winning by 5 points as he should have.
Forget about this son of eastern Kentucky turning into a butt-boy for the coal industry to promote forest-ruining, water-polluting, community-destroying mountain-top removal coal mining.
Forget about the "marriage" just last year to a girl 25 years younger than him, which has made him a laughingstock among everyone who doesn't already hate him for his homophobia.
Just think about this:
Among KY Democrats, here are the % unfavorables for the following:
Jack Conway- 11%
Crit Luallen- 12%
Ben Chandler- 16%
Dan Mongiardo- 28%
Gee, seems like a lot of Kentucky democrats think homophobia and mountaintop removal aren't things to smile about, no?
In fact, what are Republican Trey Grayson's unfavorables among democrats? 24%
28-24. Now that's some comedy...
You read that right. "Democratic" Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo has a higher unfavorable rating among Kentucky Democrats than does the republican Secretary of State.
Now that's an embarrassment.

Don't forget Gooch - for enematic or emetic
LOL! Absolutely.
Mongiardo is a self-loathing homosexual, young cute wife or no. In fact, the young cute wife merely reinforces my belief that this is unquestionably true.
I'm just waiting for one of his boys to come out in the open. Or it's just possible that he is SO self-loathing that he has no sex with men. Then the key to the issue is his wife.
Unfortunately, if that's true, she's not going to say so, because she likes being the wife of the LT-Gov too much. Being married doesn't make one heterosexual. A major industry has been built on gay men hooking up with supposedly "straight" men.
But the earmarks are all there. He's gay, he doesn't want to be, he can't let anyone know, and he tries to keep the lid on the pressure cooker of his life by doing things, like this legislation and marrying that girl and more, that draw suspicion away from him because it looks like he's just as much a homophobe as anyone.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking with it. Any of you gay guys want to express an opinion on the matter? Surely, if you've been gay longer than about 15 minutes, you're familiar with the self-loathing syndrome?
