You Don't Know Me, Clown

People who know nothing about me shouldn't comment about me.

I read a nonsensical editorial this morning at the barber shop. The editor/publisher of a local rag, The Progress, made accusations regarding political support from me for the recently failed Barney Jones campaign. How idiotic!

If Jeff Jobe knew anything about recent Barren County political history, he would know that I could never support, and have never supported, Barney Jones for any political office. Jones was the sheriff while I was County Judge/Executive, and he took great delight in my political problems while I served, and I am understating the situation. Jobe's defense of Davie Greer is admirable, but he has seen nothing of vicious Barren County politics. I experienced it first hand, and I remember it well. Nope, never in a million years would I ever support Barney Jones for political office. And just so you know, Barney Jones feels the same way about me.

Personal feelings aside, the State Police report about Jones' illegal disposal of some confiscated gambling machines is very interesting reading. It is my personal opinion that Jones should have been indicted. Aided and abetted by both judges, the county attorney and Commonwealth's Attorney (all Democrats), he avoided indictment, and he hates my political guts for almost getting it done.

So anyone who would make the stupid statement that I supported Barney Jones in any political campaign is just that. Stupid.

Frankly, I don't care if Jeff Jobe buys ink by the barrel; the guy is piqued because he blames me and my family for his loss to David Givens in the 2008 GOP State Senate primary. He just doesn't have the courage to admit the truth to the public, but it eats at him every single day that he watches my brother serve.

He should just have another drink and find a target who won't defend himself.
