Recollections of a Fundraiser of Yore and Thoughts on Son-of-a-Bitchgate

By noreply@blogger.com (rbecker)

Dan Mongiardo’s fake puritanical outrage over Attorney General Jack Conway’s recent, shocking use of profanity at the Fancy Farm picnic brought back memories for me of a Democratic State Senate Caucus fundraiser that I and several other UK College Democrats attended some years ago.

By Jack Brammer

FRANKFORT -- Gov. Steve Beshear and first lady Jane Beshear will be special guests Friday at a Frankfort fund-raiser for state Rep. Robin Webb's Democratic campaign for a vacant state Senate seat in northeastern Kentucky. The Beshears are listed on an invitation sent out Wednesday by the Kentucky Democratic Party. The fundraiser will be from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday at Investors Heritage in downtown Frankfort. Webb, a Grayson attorney, is facing Republican Jack Ditty, a Greeunp County dermatologist, in an Aug. 25 special election for the 18th Senate District seat. It was left vacant last month when Republican incumbent Charlie Borders resigned to take a state job with the Public Service Commission.

While Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) appear to be fighting to the bitter end over the Democratic presidential nomination, the favorite among Kentucky Democrats was clearly Clinton, who carried Tuesday's primary by over 35 points.
