Shorter Mongiardo Campaign: Dan's a Redneck, Not a Fag!

UPDATE, 6:45 a.m.Jim Pence's Hillbilly Report has great video of Conway's announcement and the endorsements.

Jack Conway's campaign for Jim Bunning's U.S. Senate seat next year is all of about 10 minutes old, and he's already won the Democratic Primary, 13 months early.

The campaign of Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo officially jumped the shark today with campaign consultant Kim Gevedon's insane comments to Politico.

Four of Kentucky's five most powerful Democratic politicians (actually the four most powerful if you don't count DINO and cowardly waste of oxygen Governor Steve Beshear) endorsed Conway this afternoon, and Gevedon's response was to bash them as effete commies.

Conway kicked off his campaign at a rally in Louisville this afternoon, and appeared alongside some of the state party’s leading figures: Reps. Ben Chandler, John Yarmuth, state Auditor Crit Luallen, and state House Speaker Greg Stumbo.

(Mongiardo notably received an endorsement from the state's Democratic governor, Steve Beshear.)

But in an interview with POLITICO, Mongiardo’s consultant Kim Geveden dismissed the endorsements as coming from a bunch of effete elitists.

“They’re all buddies, they’re good friends. Daniel doesn’t run in their social circle,” Geveden said. “Daniel is a sportsman, a hunter and a fisherman… Daniel doesn’t play golf, he’s not the part of that social crowd, he never has been, and he never will be.”

He added that Mongiardo would be courting the support of “ordinary Kentuckians, who work every day to make ends meet.”

Media Czech translates:

That's right folks. Dan Mongiardo is a FISHERMAN! A HUNTER! And A SPORTSMAN! He's A MANLY MAN, WHO DOES MANLY MAN THINGS! Ben Chandler, the most popular Democrat in the ENTIRE STATE, is an effete PUSSY! Did I mention that Dan Mongiardo KILLS THINGS! He KILLS them DEAD! Nobody likes Crit Luallen! She has a fucking VAGINA, for christ's sake!

I take it that it's been a really rough day in the Mongiardo campaign. Perhaps flask-inducing bad, judging by this quote.

Yes, this will be a FUN campaign.

Or a bloody slaughter. The only question left is whether Conway's double-digit win over Mongiardo in the primary will be bigger than Conway's double-digit win over Bunning in the general.

Hell, *I* don't know if Dan's a fag or not - he's never sucked MY...errrmm pardon me.

But my guess is, based on all available evidence, he is indeed gay. And it must be a real drag for him to have to pretend all the time, pretend he's something he's not. Even the stunningly beautiful wife is no consolation.

And if he's smart, he's not getting any on the side, so that's difficult for him too. Of course, there might be a boy toy or summat hiding in the bushes somewhere, but really, I hope he's too smart for that. Stranger things have happened, I guess (viz.: Larry Craig etc.)

You know, the funny thing is, if he'd come out, I probably would have voted for him. Unfortunately, the whole rest of the state of Kentucky would NOT have.

Mongi could have beaten anyone the Republican'ts put up. Not because of his strengths, but because they are toast. I fear though that they will be able to get it up against Conway. Jack is honorable, ethical, competent, liberal & fair. Republican'ts will do anything to beat him and they will run against him in the primary.

People outside of Frankfort, Louisville & Lexington don't know about Geveden (how is it pronounced?) & company - I don't even know who he is - like I don't know who "Shackelford" is or Yarmouth before his election. The inner circle has no respect for out-state dems because we don't toe your line and worship your political tookus. We can't read the C-J any more, it isn't delivered out here, nor is the H-L.

Shed your cocoon; learn how the rest of the state works - otherwise Jack won't go to Washington!
