Kentucky: Mitch Mcconnell

The state and national media loves going to Democratic consultant Danny Briscoe for quotes.

But as Bob at Blue Bluegrass points out, is this guy really a Democrat? Or only in the sense of the "Democratic consultants" that Fox News brings on to bash Democrats?
Why is Briscoe continuing to be referred to as a Democratic political consultant? While it is true that over 20 years ago he ran Wallace Wilkinson’s campaign, things change.

This is just one of many examples where Republican Danny Briscoe is positively fawning in his praise and adoration of Mitch McConnell.

And in 2008, when McConnell faced the re-election fight of his life, if Danny Briscoe were a Democratic political consultant, he’d be tying McConnell to the 8 years of poisonous Bush policies, and would be supportive of McConnell’s Democratic opponent, right?

Is it true that there is currently an ad for Kosair charities running in Louisville with John Yarmuth and Mitch McConnell in which Mitch refers to kids that "fall through the cracks of the healthcare system"?
This coming from the same Mitch McConnell who said just last week that "nothing makes him more angry" than when someone criticizes our healthcare system and says its not the best in the world?
The same Mitch McConnell whose office tried to smear Graeme Frost's family to national media?
If anyone in Louisville can yank this ad and put it on the YouTube..... that would be rather awesome, no?

Don't get your turkey gobbler all up in a knot, Mitch. We know who you work for.
"Nothing makes me more angry," said Sen. Mitch McConnell at a health care town hall in Kansas City today, "… than the suggestion that America does not already have the finest health care in the world."
One of the best profesional liars in the world, I'll give him that....

Lee Fang at Think Progress makes a great find today on Mitch's little adventure into Kentucky yesterday to the chemical weapon depot in Richmond. Mitch was of course crowing about all of the federal dough he helped direct to it's cleanup project in the 2010 budget, which he said will create 600 jobs for Kentuckians. No surprise there, as he ran his entire re-election campaign last year on his love of pork.

But the federal spending that Mitch doesn't like is in Obama's stimulus bill, which he has repeatedly said is a "failure" and should be "diverted".

Oh, one little problem with that, Mitch:
However, McConnell conveniently forgot to mention that even more additional funds for facility construction were awarded through the stimulus.
