Back when Bruce "Vencor-Wrecker" Lunsford first ran for governor in 2003, he was punted out of the race before the primary was really even started. In 2007, he managed to hang on until the primary but lost handily to Beshear.
Apparently Beshear, being a good Good Ole Boy from Kentucky, turned around and as a consolation prize made sure the wildly unpopular Lunsford, whose resume includes shipwrecking one of the largest, fastest-growing companies in Louisville, and by the way yanking the city's chain 10 years ago by threatening to take all those jobs to Cincinnati, was in the slot to contest the equally unpopular Mitch McConnell, who was poised to ride out of his Senate office on a wave of blue sentiment.
So, how the fuck did that work for ya, Steve? You happy you did it? Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE finish chiseling the tombstone of Lunsford's fucking moronic efforts to redeem his shit-splattered public image and get elected to public office? Good Ole Boy Club, do you fuckwits ever learn?
