No discussion around the water cooler of the parallels to Clinton should leave out Juanita Brodderick, her nursing home, and the fact that CLINTON RAPED HER AND HAS NEVER DENIED IT.

This is only left out around newsroom water coolers.

lol. Great name for a Rock Band...

.....Ladies and Gentlemen.....

The Perpetual Woodies!!!

[unending thunder]

Whats the connection (innocent Brit asks) between anything Clintonesque and KY ?

[SLB]

Politics as normal here in the Bluegrass. On the local level there is an election for county judge executive this fall. The position is charged with being the CEO/CFO, so to speak for the county. The two men running are: A retired district court judge, age 77, (I attended a trial he was presiding over and watched him sleep) who is a democrat. A retired Army LTC, age is early to mid 40's, with an MBA who is a certified engineer and a republican. Any bets as to who the winner will be?

So basically what the story said is:

Clinton Woman in Sex Scandal With Politician

*born in Louisville in '76, lived in Spencer County from age 5 till just a few years ago*

Hey what's good ol' Jerry Abramson up to now? *L*

Can't say I'm surprised about Patton though. First time I saw him I didn't like him. Pretty much the same 'read' as X42.

that CLINTON RAPED HER AND HAS NEVER DENIED IT.

It is his personal life. Leave him alone. Sarcasm.

[Aquinasfan]

CLINTON RAPED HER AND HAS NEVER DENIED IT.

Well, a reporter did ask him about it once...

[concerned about politics]

Do dims walk around with perpetual woodies?

Yes. I believe that's where their brains are located. That's why their policies are so bazzar.

"Henry is married to the former Miss America, Heather Rene' French (how, I don't know since he's certainly nothing to look at)..."

How can I put this discretely?
$$$$$$$...

[Redbob]

In all likelihood, Lt. gov. Henry is innocent.
The Feds are looking for victims all around the country, to try to take the focus off their own collosal mismanagement of medicare.

[sneakypete]

Well, a reporter did ask him about it once...

Giving the devil his due,Sam Donaldson actually shouted,"Mr.President! Is it true you raped Juanita Broderick?" TWICE at Bubba-1,as he,Bubbette!,and Bubbette!Jr was all walking towards the WH helicopter. This is back when they were all holding hands everywhere they went,pretending to be a acutal family,and Bubba-1 wasn't holding press conferences or talking to ANY reporters. ABC "news" must have cracked down on Donaldson,because he never again asked after the second time.

You know more than the average Kentuckian about these things. I'm impressed. You are correct on all points. The rumor about Steve Henry has for years been that he is a closet homosexual who decided rather quickly that in order for him to be guv, he needed to get married. Voila: Heather French Henry. Steve just followed John Y. Brown's lead. He was a former guv who also married a Miss America (PHyllis George). Steve Henry has been groomed to be Patton's successor. Interestingly, if Patton has to step down, guess who runs as the incumbent??

[freedomson]

Our vision for America is starting to come true!

[dmz]

hey now! let's not forget the state of maryland when it comes to crooked politicians - hell, one of ours had to resign the vice presidency.

[RonPaulLives]

Can anyone from Kentucky elaborate on the following?

Be glad to.

The Louisville Courier Journal is VERY pro-Steve Henry. As far as they are concerned, he IS the next governor. That's the way it has worked in Kentucky for at least 20 years. Whoever was Lt. Governor has gone on to become Governor:
Collins/Wilkinson --> Wilkinson/Jones --> Jones/Patton --> Patton/Henry

And the judges in Kentucky, though officially "non partisan," ought as well have a big "D" next to most of their names. Hell, as I posted a few minutes ago, on the original Patton Sex-For-Favors Scandal thread, we haven't had a Republican Governor here in over 30 years, so who do you think makes the appointments to judicial vacancies? And the state is still overwhelmingly registered Democrat (althought I must give the people credit for voting much more conservative than just ten years ago).

Yes, politics is very dirty and very ugly in the Bluegrass State.

On to the Steve Henry wedding to the former Miss America. The wedding itself was a controversial, tasteless event. I didn't see the invitations myself, but a friend of mine who did said that it was basically a Democratic Party of Kentucky fundraiser, and that one had to make a contribution to Democrats to attend the wedding.

Prior to Henry's controversial wedding, he himself was acting very Clintonesque. A few years back, it was reported that Henry, then a bachelor, was using state funds to take care of different women he was seeing, women who were married to their husbands at the time! I had a heckling and arguing session with Henry at the Kentucky State Fair that particular year, and I was asking him how his tax-paid affairs were going. Of course, guess what? That particular story was in the paper and on the news for no more than one day when it disappeared altogether.

I will see what else I can come up with via research for you all. Now its time for my lunch, and I feel like my blood pressure must be sky-high after rehashing some wonderful Kentucky politics for those not in the know. :>

And, to Severa, who asked about Jerry Abramson:
he is getting ready to cakewalk his way in November to becoming the first "super-mayor" of the merged Louisville/Jefferson County. Uggghh!

[MasonGal]

This story is ALL over the radio here in the Louisville area. Patton is supposedly going to be talking with reporters within the next half hour or so.

[Severa]

Wow. Hit the nail on the head *applauds*

How's that whole merger thing going anyway?

[yoe]

"...something in the water?"

More likely the corn whisky made in them thar hills..........
