"As you've probably heard by now, I was recently ranked

as the 7th most powerful member of the U. S. Senate.

But with all the power at my disposal, I still haven't been

able to keep that fool Governor, Ernie Fletcher, from

flinging himself into the Pit of Eternal Night."

Yesterday, Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher was

indicted by a grand jury on misdemeanor counts of

criminal conspiracy, official misconduct, and

political discrimination. This is the same grand

jury that indicted thirteen other members of the

Fletcher administration, all of whom have been

pardoned by the Governor. He says he has no

intention of pardoning himself. That would be

against his Republican principles.

Governor Fletcher explains how he accidentally

appointed himself to two seats

on the Kentucky Supreme Court.
