Fri, 12 May 2006 13:26:08 +0000 http://3nailsministries.org/?p=187#comment-38133 [...] His fatal mistake was something I’ve ranted about often in the past.ﾃつ He failed to realize the political climate his administration would serve under.ﾃつ The National scene is as fractured as it’s been in probably 150 years and the State scene is just marginally better…a slim margin.ﾃつ He simply HAD to know that political opportunists like Greg Stumbo would be gunning for him.ﾃつ Mr. Stumbo did just that on a SERIOUS and VERY REAL issue of the Governor’s own making.ﾃつ Governor Fletcher’s response was that he had done nothing that other Governor’s of Kentucky hadn’t done already.ﾃつ As I’ve said before, Governor, it’s about the appearance of impropriety.ﾃつ Be transparent.ﾃつ You’ve been opaque.

He should be letting the process work, and he should also be as cooperative as possible with the grand jury. As far as I am concerned, an investigation is still an investigation. If I were Fletch, I would be giving Scumbo as much rope as he can find with which to hang himself, because sooner or later he would. I would only consider pardoning any of these guys at the END of my term, and only for misdemeanors. No one convicted of a felony would get a pardon. I agree.

However, I am a little shocked to see the Governor become part of the problem. Like our good friend The Mesh says, both parties are exactly alike. The only difference is to whom they whore themselves out.
