Quote(s) for the week (Kentucky special session special edition).
(1) "The claim of an urgent need to pass a bill is blatantly contrary to the cold, hard facts which have piled up in recent weeks."
- Kentucky House Speaker Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, on sine dine adjournment of the House.
(2) "I will not be a party to using the court system to try to force the other body back into any active role."
- Senate President, David Williams, on whether the Senate will join a lawsuit to force the House back into special session.
(3) "They took a cheap shot at me, yet they hit 4 million people."
- Gov. Ernie Fletcher, reacting to the House's actions.
(4) "I have said all along that a Governor should not take the extraordinary measure of calling a special session in the absence of agreement with the legislature on the agenda and the pressing need for the session. It is apparent that the Governor did not get such an agreement and that is why it failed."

If that dumb-ass hadn't vetoed those projects in the first place, we wouldn't need a special session...that moron. I applaud what the house did. I think they did the right thing...and good for them! I hope it sets a precedent.
