Tue, 15 Aug 2006 05:26:59 +0000 http://www.plunderbund.com/?p=872#comment-4874 I knew Jon Husted in High School and in College. I am in shock and awe that he is the Speaker of the House. Are you kidding me? There are 4 things this guy knew how to do. Be an asshole, drink beer, smoke pot and screw a lot of women. He was a bit lacking in communication and people skills and his quotes prove that he has not changed. I may have to move. How did we get these fools in charge of the State? I guess anyone can be in office. Have you taken a look at these guys? Jon is probably concerend that someone will turn up and tell the truth about his character. Maybe he has changed. I am still in shock. I knew Jon Husted in High School and in College. I am in shock and awe that he is the Speaker of the House. Are you kidding me? There are 4 things this guy knew how to do.

This one is ripe. Now that Gary Lankford has been disgraced and dismissed, his original source Scott Pullins seems to have picked up the rusty bucket to carry the political smear water for Krazy Kenny. This time he just comes right out and says it. Asswipe. Now, here is the best part. His argument that Frances lives in KY and that is proven by her being the registered agent is, well - you guessed it - horseshit. I wonder why she would then list her address as Columbus, OH in all of these documents? [...] […] Jon Husted would NOT be proud. This one is ripe.

I personally feel there was more damage done than the meme getting out justifies. So does Joe Hallet apparently.

The funnel into a letter to the editor or an op-ed eliminates voters from voicing because of business-related constraints. Letter writing gets funneled down now because of the inability to find an email address or, if you are trying to reach a congressperson, you have to jump through a zillion hoops and you never know who you are getting. If you really want to try and reach an elected official to make your opinion known (seeing as how you are their constituent, they might want to know - then again - not), you could try the phone but most likely you will get a receptionist or an intern. Unless you've already been toiling away to make contact at a level deeper than what most voters will try to reach, blogs are the easiest, best way to voice your opinion. The only reason they become a factor, Speaker Husted, is because SOMEONE - make that someoneS - are READING them. If no one read them, then they wouldn't matter. Clearly, people who make decisions are reading the voice of voters as they come through blogs. Are only certain people using blogs right now? Sure. But blogs are in their infancy. And that's what makes them matter. Hmm - I bet the speaker thinks free speech is a danger too?
