The malarkey continues. Joe Biden ended his 2024 Presidential Campaign and Veep Kamala Harris has become the anointed one to carry on the Puppet State. She has begun the beauty contest searching for her own number two, so to speak. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is one of the beauties on the Vice Presidential short list. Beshear wants you to know that Trump’s Vice Presidential pick, J.D. Vance, isn’t a Kentuckian because he “ain’t from here”.
The New York Times has a long article on Kacklin’ Kammie’s V.P. picks. A logical choice for Kammie’s number two would Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to shore up swing state Pennsylvania. But Josh is Jewish and the anti-Semite wing of the Democrat Party won’t stand for it. Shapiro might possibly lose them Michigan and most of the Northeast United States. Speaking of Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer is almost as unlikeable as Harris AND Hillary Clinton. We will gloss over the catfight possibilities of an all female ticket. There are others like Wes Moore and J.B. Pritzker. But, Andy Beshear, the Kentucky Governor, is most definitely on the list:
Andy Beshear, blech. The Kentucky Governor was awful during Covid. He shut the freaking state down. My son was living in Western Kentucky and I was there from Knoxville, Tennessee about every two weeks. The Democrats love their Fascists and call everyone on the Right a Fascist.
From the Lexington Herald Leader, here is a mini-bio of Andy Beshear:
Beshear is serving his second term as Kentucky’s governor. The 46-year-old is the son of former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and was first elected in 2019, when he waged a successful campaign against incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin.
While Beshear’s win over Bevin was extremely narrow, the Democrat has proven popular and has generated much buzz among political pundits as a potential candidate for national office. In 2023, Beshear won a second, four-year term against then-Attorney General and Republican Daniel Cameron by a 5-point margin.Born in Louisville, Beshear graduated from Lexington’s Henry Clay High School. His education includes an undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law. He ran for office first in 2015, narrowing winning a tight race to become the state’s attorney general.
Beshear is the scion of a politically connect family. His father himself served two terms as Kentucky Governor. Legal Beagles too. Now, a lot of us in Southwestern Ohio have families from Kentucky and are proud of them and it. We visited our “Kentucky Home” (written by Stephen Foster of Western Kentucky) three or four times a year. Mine was in Eastern Kentucky, specifically Hazard, Perry County about thirty miles from J.D. Vance’s in Breathitt County. We love our Kentucky Homes. But Andy Beshear isn’t happy about J.D. Vance mentioning Kentucky:

Now Eastern Kentucky has a lot of problems. There are lazy people there, just like anywhere. Opiods are a problem. Lack of opportunities are a problem, but I remember J.D. Vance stressing the goodness of the people:
Gov. Andy Beshear distorts the truth—J.D. Vance called Eastern Kentuckians hardworking and generous.@JDVance1: "They are very hardworking people and they’re very good people. They’re the kind of people who would give you the shirt off their back…" https://t.co/M79mNk9i2G pic.twitter.com/L8kPNhk1QY

Andy Beshear has some crust to be talking smack about J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance used the G.I.Bill to go to Ohio State and from there to Yale. He wasn’t the son of the Governor.
People like me from Cincinnati try to get home occasionally. From Knoxville to Cincinnati is straight through Kentucky. The Kentucky Governor should do well to remember that we don’t have to spend a damn dime in Kentucky. We don’t have to stop in London or Hazard or the Kentucky Horse Park and we don’t have to go West and eat in Bardstown, which has some surprisingly great restaurants. Don’t drag J.D. Vance.

We will gloss over the catfight possibilities of an all female ticket.
But why? The possibilities are glorious.
(Honestly, I would love to see a Harpy/Harridan ticket.)
You know, it’s one thing to lay a little bash down on a political opponent – even one who isn’t directly your opponent (though you might be angling to make that happen). But the whole “He isn’t one of us” when talking about a state is … problematic. It tells of someone who is supremely arrogant and probably living in a bubble.
I heard a podcast that Megyn Kelly interviewed Vance just after his movie was released and before his political career began and It misted me up hearing about a boy made good. Really good. Vance is a wonderful young man in my opinion, and I heartily endorse that wonderful young man wherever he goes. But right now, I see him succeeding President Trump to continue the movement. I am very hopeful because of Trump’s truly inspired selection of a wonderful young man to stand beside him in this fight!
