Kentucky: Kim Geveden

Missed this from yesterday, but the Herald-Leader isn't letting Dan Mongiardo's pathetic "political shenanigans" excuse go.
It's time for Senate candidate Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo to man up.

We're talking about the recordings of him that keep popping up on the Internet. Yes, they were surreptitiously taped, are obviously spliced and have been distributed anonymously. As such, they are both high-tech dirty trick and political comedy in the old Kentucky tradition.

Yet some of Mongiardo's statements, which he has not denied making, are provocative no matter the context.

What did he mean when he said that being Gov. Steve Beshear's lieutenant governor is like "being married to a whore"? Or that "the only difference between (former Gov.

Enjoy:
"The Rasmussen poll varies widely from two recent independent polls that show Daniel Mongiardo as the strongest Democrat against Republicans Trey Grayson or Rand Paul. No matter how you slice it, the General Election will be very competitive. The fundamental question for Democratic voters is do they want a Kentucky Democrat like Daniel Mongairdo who reflects their values and who will stand up and fight for Kentucky's working families or a silver spoon Democrat who represents out-of-state interests who neither share Kentucky's values or our priorities? We are confident which one Kentucky voters will choose."

The poll varies from the previous polls because those were before your campaign imploded with the "Fuck it all" video, Kim.

But hey, fuck it all, right?

Also... don't know if anyone else has noticed, but used to be when people posted nasty mean lies about Dan Mongiardo, there were a whole flock of DanDefenders who'd swoop into the comments and defend their manly-leader's manliness and honor. But now...

Chirp chirp chirp.

Oh! And also, how 'bout that trip to Chicago? How much money did Dan raise at his top secret fundraiser? Does America really need more leaders who, when crisis calls, whisk themselves off to undisclosed locations? Jake has more:

His campaign’s excuse for missing it? A fundraiser in Chicago. Mongiardo’s campaign manager, Kim Geveden, provided WHAS11’s Joe Arnold with a copy of a parking receipt stamped with the time 6:47 P.

I didn't go to Fancy Farm; unfortunately, this anonablogger had work falling over the holiday of mutton and heckling, so I was stuck hitting up the twitter machine. You know, the only place you could get live coverage (thanks, KET! No check for you this year!).

Given that, I was absolutely certain that Allison Mongiardo's table dance at the tie auction was going to be the story of the weekend. I was also sure that, like most Fancy Farms, this one would be out of the news cycle in 3 hours or less.

Boy, was I wrong.

Team Jack Conway, take a bow.
