Another week, no news on Mitch 'Yurtle' McConnel.

[3_Limes]

Gotta have had a stroke, and they're hoping they can somehow prop him up enough that he can still vote some time soon.

1. Question: should he need replacement can Beshear

name his replacement? It’s Kentucky right?

[3_Limes]

3. Good question!

That could get interesting.

[bluestarone]

4. Not sure, but i'm thinking if Beshear can then that's probably why

They are being very quiet about this whole story.

[niyad]

5. No, he cannot. The pukes changed the law a few years ago.. He can

only appoint from an approved list of names from the previous member's party.

[ALBliberal]

6. Wow they really planned for his demise

But? Who knows? Electoral winds at our back!!!

[niyad]

7. We shall see.

[ALBliberal]

8. Wish Andy beshear clones could run all over

These red bass ackwards states.
He’s exceptional in a world of crazy.

10. The governor should do what this "president" does

And just ignore the law. Appoint whoever he wants to.

[niyad]

11. moscowmitch actually has to croak first. And, unlike the gutless,

spineless toadies in congress, the KY lege would crucify Beshear.

[PatSeg]

12. That's how I remember it

But I wasn't sure.

[Mad_Machine76]

14. Isn't Beshear challenging that law

I feel like I heard something like that

[wcmagumba]

2. It may be a "Weekend with Mitch" type situation...

[Bluestocking]

9. Who cares

He’s irrelevant at this point. Satan has bigger fish to fry. He’ll be in hell eventually.

[lastlib]

13. Given the numbers in the Senate, he's very relevant.

And besides---every day he draws oxygen adds stress to my bladder. (I may start peeing in bottles, just so I can properly, um, *--* "christen" *--* his final rotting place.)

[scipan]

15. Remember when Strom Thurmond was wheeled in for a vote, in a hospital bed?

It might happen again.
