Sure hope Kentucky's intelligence service hasn't declared a secret war on any out of state terrorists. The Gov won't have time to deal with it.

Is he a DemocRAT? Usually the press leaves party out on bad news stories if it is a Dem and makes sure the Republican is in the headline if the target is GOP.

Biography JUDI CONWAY PATTON FIRST LADY of the COMMONWEALTH of KENTUCKY

 

Her work on behalf of women’s safety also extends to the issue of rape. In the fall of 1999, Mrs. Patton successfully lobbied the Governor to create a first of its kind Governor’s Task Force on Sexual Assault, a body for which she served as honorary chair. That successful work group now has been folded into the Governor’s Council. Through the Task Force, Mrs. Patton proposed legislation to create Rape Crisis Centers in statute, to remove special restrictions on marital rape victims, to toughen the state’s response to sexual offenders, to create additional civil remedies and other protections for rape and stalking victims, and other reforms.

Hillary Patton?

I thought the exact same thing reading the article. By the time I got to the end, I knew the guy was a Rat because his party was never mentioned.

Don't you just love the lamestream media?

84WHAS LOCAL NEWS

From the 84 WHAS newsroom...

(Frankfort, KY) -- Governor Patton has called an unexpected news conference for late this afternoon. Sources tell 84WHAS that the Governor will discuss the recent allegations of an affair with a West Kentucky woman, and may in fact, admit the affair. NewsRadio 84 WHAS will carry the Governor's address live this afternoon.

WHAS Radio is also saying that Governor Patton will ask the Commonwealth to "forgive him," and will inform the public that he will seek counseling. Notice the weasel scheduled this for 5pm on a Friday; the time is strategic; anyone who has worked in media, like myself, knows that this is the absolute WORST time to have a press conference, as many reporters are on their way home or working on weekend feature stories, and also it allows the public to concentrate on other matters, rather than pay attention to the news.

Didn't Clinton tell another woman who owned a nursing home to put some ice on it?

Lie down with the dogs and you get fleas.

I saw a report on this on one of the network news programs last night, not FOX BTW, and they never once mentioned the Gov's political affiliation.
