"They'd pull up in a wooded area about thirty feet from the house and wait there," she recalled.
She revealed Clinton's typical routine: he'd drink a few Budweiser beers, and then Clinton would begin to loosen up. She described him as a "showman" and a "brilliant actor," who craved approval and needed the constant approval of women. "He had this little boy quality that I found very attractive," Perdue said. Clinton would flick a patio light to summon the police car when he was leaving.
I sure the heck hope so. The last Republican Governor in Kentucky served in office from 1967-1971 (Louie Nunn, whose son Steve is one of several GOP primary hopefuls for next year).
We all thought we had a chance at the Governor's Office in 1995 with Larry Forgy. But then-candidate Patton was involved in the most election corruption anyone's ever seen, outside of Arkansas and D.C. And to put it in perspective, Kentucky has 120 counties (yes, I know it's too damned many); and exluding the votes from only the western half of Louisville/Jefferson County (read: VERY URBAN AREA), Forgy would have won the 1995 gubernatorial election. That is to say, Forgy would have won, if we counted 119 1/2 counties and not 120.
And, in 1999, no viable Republicans ran for the seat. And the word "viable" is one that I usually shun, because I don't like for people to tell me who is and isn't a viable candidate. But everyone in the know in Kentucky can tell you that senior U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell basically made a deal with Patton that the Republican Party of Kentucky would not run a serious candidate against Patton in 1999 if the Kentucky Democrats would not run a serious candidate against McConnell in 2002. Ergo, Patton won the first-ever second term for a Kentucky governor with ease, and McConnell is on his way to a cake walk in the November Senate race.
That's a classic, CreekerFreeper. LOL. Shades of O_P_H show up in the post of CreekerFreeper!
Sounds ridiculous on it's face. Who stopped you from running? Mephistopheles himself couldn't have dreamt up Peppy.
What sounds ridiculous ??
I don't know for sure if I get your drift about "what stopped me from running." But this would have been the first thing that kept me from running in 1999:
From the Kentucky State Board of Elections homepage:
U.S. Senate
***Must be at least 30 years of age***, a U.S. citizen for 9 years, and, when elected, an inhabitant of the State for which he is chosen.
U.S. Const. Art. I, § 3
Sounds like you know the "real issue." What are you waiting for? Let's hear it.
Why, actually YES. And this story offers all the clues. People don't go into the nursing home business because it is a cash cow. They do it because they fancy themselves as compassionate caregivers so, right off the bat, that makes them trend to the Democrats. Add in their dependancy on federal and state money because the old people can't afford their meds and, bingo, the Dems have them right where they want them.
Next comes Gov. Slick who meets Miss Hottie at some community outreach thing as he's trolling for senior citizen votes. Miss Hottie sees she can gain "access to power" and liven up her world that is deadly dull hearing the complaints of old people and their ailments all day long. She gives in for that first rendezvous with Gov. Slick and the whole story is set from there. When she becomes too much trouble, off she goes to a lifetime of shame and disgrace (and, if she's lucky, book signings, a spread in Playboy and the next 15-minute talking head on cable television).
As disgraceful as Gov. Patton probably is, this woman is just a slut. What makes her think that a roll in the hay is going to help her business and not cause her marriage to suffer? I guarantee you she was thinking only of herself and the "bragging rights" of bedding a governor, not how the governor could help her business - that's just the excuse she uses to make herself feel better about being a whore.
I feel the most sorry for Mr. Connor. Although who knows what liaisons he's been having during all this?
