C-J Blogger accuses Fletcher of dishonesty.

I found this post at a C-J blog and wondered if the C-J was reporting the facts correctly or playing politics. Any thoughts?

Dishonesty at dinner honoring Honest Abe

"Last night, at the Lincoln Day dinner in Murray, Gov. Fletcher claimed Kentucky had added 125,000 new jobs since he became governor.

My, how the number is growing: Just five days ago, in his State of the Commonwealth address, the Governor had put the number at 100,000.

And that was already a huge exaggeration: The Bureau of Labor Statistics says between 54,000 and 57,000 new jobs have been added since Dr. Fletcher took office."
