Kentucky GOPer arrested in kickback scheme

A scandal involving a Republican politician in Kentucky? What is this? A day ending in y?

Yesterday, Morgan County Judge-Executive Tim Conley was taken into federal custody, charged with a kickback scheme involving a bridge contractor. He faces mail fraud, theft, and money laundering charges. If convicted, he may face decades in prison.

In Fox News fashion, I've seen at least one media report that misidentified Conley as a Democrat. Nope, he's a Republican.

Also, several years ago, Conley was pardoned by then-Gov. Ernie "Hey Bert" Fletcher after Conley was indicted on 3 counts of abuse of public trust in a different scandal.

The real question is, do the Democrats have the sense to take advantage of the ongoing public stupidity exhibited by the Republicans? Or are they gonna start complaining about "dirty" video games again like it's 1996?
