“To the victor goes the spoils” says Thayer. He will hear those words again — at his next election defeat. I, for one, am grateful to Ernest. He’s set the GOP in Kentucky back to the ’60s — as in it’ll take another 40 years for Kentuckians to forget his SNAFU/FUBAR administration and before another Republican Governor is elected. As for Thayer, he’s tied his star to David Williams — won’t be pretty for him, either.
