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.
And if you're very lucky, that's all you get...
Another lying RAT
I had a cartoon of him saying that, but not anymore. I'll sub this one.....
Forget Bunning! Patton just moved past Daschle, Gephardt and Edwards in the 2004 Presidential primary battle. :-)
PRECISELY !
And that is the best thing about all this, because I love Jim Bunning! Not only is he MY SENATOR, he is, IMHO, one of the most conservative U.S. Senators (maybe THE most conservative, with Helms, Thurmond, Gramm all going, going gone). And I like Bunning far more than McConnell.
Did you leave off the *sarcasm* alert ?? Terry Meiners is, in no way, in love with Bill Clinton. I have heard him say publicly, at least once and maybe twice, that he voted for Bob Dole and G.W. Bush. Now, "Fairy" Abramson may be another story, because everyone at Clear Channel Radio seems to kiss his ring.
Now, it looks like he will claim he had an affair, but will deny favoritism. Again, I think the evidence is pretty strong that Birchtree got the shaft once the affair ended. Now that Patton admits the affair, proving the favoritism will be much easier.
Hopefully, the final act in the play will be Governor Patton being sent to prison. I can't wait! I wonder how many of his henchmen will go down with him?
BTW Meiners is definitely a Republican. He has appeared at fundraisers for numerous Pubbie candidates.
Just over half of the calls -- 225 -- were made to a nursing home that the woman, Tina Conner, operates in Clinton in Hickman County.What is it with Democratic governors showering unwanted attention on nursing home operators?

"Kentucky Governor Paul Patton, under investigation for an alleged extramarital affair, was a no show for a dedication at NKU this morning. The Governor was scheduled to be in town for the ribbon cutting ceremony for the school's new 38 million dollar natural science center. Patton's office says he is planning to hold a press conference at 5 o`clock in Frankfort. The spokesperson would not reveal the reason for the conference and we will have a full report starting at six-o-clock. "
There will be tremendous pressure for Patton to resign. The Dems are afraid of what could be a strong Republican candidate for Governor. No one with credibility will want to run as a Democrat if Patton doesn't resign. Please resign right away "for the good of the party" governor (like he cares!)
But did you notice that the article did not identify him as a Democrat?? If he had been a Republican it would have been in the headline.
The Courier is one of the most slanted rags in the country. In fact, the day this story broke, the CJ placed it prominently on the far column of their Metro section.
Had this been McConnell, Bunning or any other Republican, they would have been screaming for their resignations in the headlines. For Patton, it didn't even merit coverage in their front section much less on their front page.
There's no way he'll ever see jail time though. Dems in Ky don't go to jail.
They'll be lucky enough if they can blast him out of the Gov's mansion with dynamite.
Oh that's easy. There are several really good reasons in demonrat eyes.
1st: There's all that free government money from federal programs like social security, medicaid, etc. and from numerous state programs. The fraud options are like a smogasboard. Of course a 'fair' percentage must be donated to the correct political organizations, or else the regulators will come down like stink on caca.
2nd: All those patients 'need' help to correctly fill out their ballots at election time. Espicially those that have passed away in the last few years or so
3rd: If the operator is a looker then the above reasons can be used to demand certain perks.
With a little more thought put to it you probablely can come up with more reasons, I thought of these in just a few seconds. Our lawyer Freepers should be able to come up with many more, if they're worth thier salt.
Cincinnati Enquirer 9/28/98 Patrick Crowley "Like the Democrats needed this, this being the indictments of four people who worked in the 1995 election of Gov. Paul Patton..Piled on top of that is the bombshell news last week that four people who helped get the governor elected -- among them his top aide and three men involved with organized labor and the Teamsters Union -- are accused of breaking election laws.."
John Ed Pearce dittos!
BTW-If any paper could give the C-J a run for its liberal money, it would be the Lexington Herald Leader...
LRS...of KY...
Sounds like a good reason not to FReep him, or otherwise give it too much attention right now - why help the Dems?
They were all probably weaned too early.
