Yikes. Might be time to retire.

I think the only way he'll retire is in a coffin or if he gets confined to a hospital, otherwise they'll keep him going somehow.

They'll give him the Weekend at Bernie's treatment if they can get away with it...

i doubt they would let him

@sci Why not? The establishment can replace him in a heartbeat and Kentuckians will vote for whomever is picked for them.

@DocMcStuffin @xc2215x

Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen

Perversely, KY legislature passed a law specifically requiring the Governor to appoint a replacement from the same party. It was vetoed, and veto was overturned. No dem replacement despite Beshear in the governor's seat

Republicans change the rules if they ever see that they’ll hurt them in the future.

Funny how it's called KY when its politicians fuck us without lube.

@DocMcStuffin @xc2215x @sci

I guess Kentucky is one of those states where the governor isn’t required to pick someone from the same party? I’d written Kentucky off so long ago that I haven’t been paying attention.

Nope. In Kentucky the Governor must select from a pool of 3 candidates that the GOP gives them.
