In Asshole Derby, Bevin Laps the Field

National news outlets were fighting for comments, but nobody in Kentucky was surprised.

Joe Gerth at the Courier:

Matt Bevin doesn’t think like you or me.

After an incident like the one Thursday at the Louisville Rotary Club, one has to wonder if he thinks at all.

During his speech, Bevin went on the attack against teachers who called in sick to protest changes to their pension plans. Jefferson County Public Schools had to shut down six days over a two-week span because of the absences.

"One thing you almost didn't hear anything about while we had people pretending to be sick when they weren't sick and leaving kids unattended to or in situations that they should not have been in — a little girl was shot, 7 years old, by another kid," he said.

He was apparently talking about a girl who was shot by her brother who somehow got his hands on a loaded gun while their uncle, who was supposed to be watching them, was outside. 

He was blaming teachers for the girl getting shot. 

Then, after the Rotary Club meeting ended, he blamed journalists for having reported the utter hogwash he had uttered moments before. 

Yeah, the Pumpkin Traitor bettter up his asshole game.  Gov. I Got Mine Fuck You is coming for him.
