The Executive Ethics Commission Must Die
It was released yesterday that the state's executive ethics commission cleared Fletcher of any wrong doing. At the time I thought it was a significant blow to those overwhelmed with Fletcher Derangement Syndrome. Their whole fantasy world was beginning to dissolve around them. So what do they do? What liberals always try to do. Kill the messenger. If they can demonize the commission then what the commission reported won't matter.
So what did they do? They dug up the one Patton appointee to get her comments. And guess what she said? I am sure this will come as a shock, but she trashed the decision as political.

"From my position there have been numerous decisions within the past year which have been partisan action, or inaction," said Cynthia Stone, a Louisville attorney whose term expired last month.I emphasized the last little bit because it is key element to this whole smear job. She can't elaborate because it happened in a "closed session". She can just make the allegation without having to provide any form of proof what so ever. Whenever a Democratic appointee who has grown up under the Democratic patronage system makes any comments about Republicans then a not so small amount of dubiousness needs to be associated with them. Of course those in the media are jumping all over it as the gospel because they can't let this ruling stand. It goes against every meme they have built for this political season.
Asked if the decision to end the Fletcher investigation was one of those, Stone said, "Absolutely. From my perspective that's what it appeared to be."
She declined to elaborate because the commission's key deliberations occurred in closed sessions.
