The National Stonewall Democrats criticized Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher of Kentucky for issuing an executive order that allows the state to legally discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation in employment practices. On Tuesday, Fletcher signed the order to reverse action taken by Democratic Governor Paul Patton in 2003. The previous order signed by Patton made it illegal for government agencies in Kentucky to consider sexual orientation in matters of employment.
Fletcher's poll numbers have dramatically dropped over the last year after an investigation was initiated into corruption and hiring practices in the gubernatorial office. The investigation centers on allegations that Fletcher improperly hired state workers based on political considerations alone. Fletcher now faces reelection in 2007 under the weight of the investigation.
Fletcher sounds like a Tom DeLay Mini-Me, a corrupt tyrant who tries to deflct his scumbaggery by attacking gay people. You certainly have to hand it to Christian conservatives, for the "good" people they have helped elect have made America a more family friendly and moral place.

So how does uncle ernie know who's gay and who isnt before they're hired?; or does God whisper in his ear like puke robertson. Scumbaggery is a good word, an alternative might be vomitous!?
