Republicans say the darndest things, or what's new on the Grand Old Police Blotter?

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that KY Governor Ernie Fletcher is going to be a future guest of the governor! Will he soon say that he wants to spend more time with his family? I love that phrase from Atrios, Grand Old Police Blotter. My guess is we will see the blotter grow pretty long. I like the sentiments underlying this sentence:

Those indictments cover crimes that may have occurred before Aug. 29, 2005 when Fletcher pardoned all administration officials except himself.

The article fails to mention that the governor and his pardoned pals are all Republican - but you knew that already, didn't you!

Grand jury indicts Gov. Ernie Fletcher

HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER

The special grand jury that’s been investigating state government hiring practices today indicted Gov. Ernie Fletcher on three misdemeanor charges of conspiracy, official misconduct and political discrimination.

The jury also indicted former transportation Cabinet official Sam Beverage for perjury, which is a felony. And the jury also submitted to Franklin Circuit Judge William Graham 14 more indictments that are under seal.

Those indictments cover crimes that may have occurred before Aug. 29, 2005 when Fletcher pardoned all administration officials except himself.
