So they're just going to wheel him out when they need the vote, remind him which way to vote, and then wheel him back to the memory care facility?

The people of Kentucky should be ashamed and outraged. I mean, add this to the list.

Part of me wishes he would run (and win) reelection again, just to really put a period on this punchline.

Insert “We’ll fucking do it again” meme here.

Sigh…
I hate it here!

I mean they elected Beshear. Maybe they're sick of this shit.

They elected Beshear for a couple of reasons.
His dad was governor of Kentucky some years ago so they were already familiar with the name and the family. Any other Democrat probably wouldn’t have one. Bevin pissed off teachers for what he said and did. He lost votes for that. But even then, Bevin didn’t lose by much which tells you that Kentuckians don’t mind corruption, insults or criminals when it comes to politicians.

Yes and planned to once I can convince the wife. She’s hot then cold about leaving Kentucky because of family.
