I’m glad to see that Governor Fletcher could take some time from the golf course to defend his buddy Murg.

Ernie appears to have made a serious commitment, two or three rounds per week, to work on his handicap at the Frankfort Country Club. But maybe all that time in the sun on the golf course has caused a little confusion.

Again resorting to the “everyone does it” defense, I remember my daughter using that one at the age of 10, Ernie has admitted to some management mistakes.

From the Courier Journal:

“ ‘In interviews yesterday, Fletcher said "management mistakes" were made but insisted they were not on purpose. He said all administrations, including his, make mistakes.”

“….To break a law, you have to be intentional," he told reporters at a stop in Paintsville. "As far as I know, no one broke a law because there wasn't a willful act to violate the merit system.’"

Let’s see, five guys indicted, hit lists, computer files erased, stonewalling the Attorney General, dumbing down qualifications for position to get politically correct individuals hired, sure sounds like a mistake to me.

How could anyone think there was a willful act here?

Maybe the real question is whether the voting public of the Commonwealth is stupid enough to believe Ernie Fletcher?
