State Rep. Kathy Stein (D-Lexington) is threatening to convene hearings to investigate allegations made by Former Transportation Cabinet Secretary Sam Beverage that politics was involved in road projects awarded by the Fletcher administration.
Democrats first accuse the Fletcher administration of convening a special session for political purposes, and then turn right around and announce that they're going to use it for political purposes.
I would point out that this is a blatant contradiction if I didn't think the concept would be completely lost on Rep. Stein.
Oh, the trials and travails of applying logic to politics.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
As someone born and raised in DC I know this feeling well. As much as we would like it, logic does not rule in politics. It is votes which motivate politicians. We will never see the actions of our politicians become logical unless our populace is properly educated or we change the voting requirements.
