Kentucky’s Democrat Attorney General Greg Stumbo is giving some serious thought to running for the United States Senate. This is the same Greg Stumbo who just ran on a Democrat primary ticket for Governor down home in Kentucky and was rebuffed by Democrat primary voters. So, rejected by voters for one office, L.G., and now he’s thinking about running for another office. Oh, we failed to mention that he’s not seeking re-election as A.G. – not because he’s term limited either. It’s starting to look like this guy just isn’t interested in being A.G. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky – in fact it looks like he’s running from the office all together. He was elected on a bit of a fluke in ‘03 – I mean this is the same Greg Stumbo who:
In 2001, a woman sued Stumbo, claiming that he had fathered a child while he was married to another woman, then reneged on an agreement to pay support. A court later ruled that there was no agreement between Stumbo and the woman, but DNA tests proved that the child was Stumbo's, and he began paying support.
And in 1991, while opposing tougher drunken-driving laws in the General Assembly, Stumbo pleaded guilty to public intoxication and paid a $100 fine after his car ran off a road into a ditch.
Stumbo was originally charged with driving under the influence, but the day after the accident, he said someone else had been driving.
So, some might begin to guess that running away from problems fits the M.O. – the next thing he’ll do is blame somebody else in his office if something bad happens – sounds far fetched, but….
