Bevin causes another national laugh fest

As electoral victory for Matt Bevin slowly sinks into the sunset, he was due for another of his weekly scandals, and now he's living down to expectations.

The Republican candidate for governor tried to save his flailing campaign by sending out a letter to Kentucky's public school teachers soliciting their support. He somehow got a hold of the teachers' work e-mail addresses - which suggests that one of his campaign operatives infiltrated the schools and got their addresses somehow. The letter blames the Democrats for the teacher pension crisis - even though it was the Republicans' fault.

In any event, the letter violates Kentucky election law by directly soliciting contributions from public employees. That's not to mention laws that were broken by his campaign workers who work for school districts who obtained the e-mail addresses. And yes, from my experiences, I would believe that Kentucky school districts would hire Bevin operatives.
