As terrible as Richie's abuses were....anyone else apalled at the lack of oversight and accountability in Kentucky government? I mean...one's as bad as the other!

Disagree wholeheartedly that Farmer's abuses and the lack of oversight you speak of are anywhere near equal.

Funny how the liberals on here give Richie down the road for his spending of tax payer money and yet give Obama a free pass to waste billions without a peep..

^ Looks like more than the liberals are chiming in on this one.

cammando, the other side is doing it to argument is played. Farmer belongs in jail, period.

While both are grotesque, Farmer's was apparently done outside the law.

It is appalling indeed. I don't think it's as bad, but still bad nonetheless.

 

Of course, we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for government to hold government accountable.

Wow! Unbelievable..Farmer should be in jail and his name taken down from the rafters of Rupp Arena.

 

Totally agree with you BZ. Deplorable behavior and UK should disassociate themselves with Mr. Farmer.

And not to stray from topic but I would love to see any regular Joe Schmo take over the White House and refuse to take advantage of the perks. I know I wouldn't. #YOLO. :lol:

 

Richie was tripping though. Sense of entitlement seems to be the culprit here.

Couldn't disagree more. Had it been something that happened while he was in school then I'd say sure. What he has done as an adult should have no bearing on his accomplishments in college. I'll always remember Richie the Unforgettable. Not Richie the Politician(Agriculture Treasurer?)

Agreed. Farmer IS a scum bag. I'll save my liberal bashing for another thread..

Character counts. I will never look at his jersey in Rupp the same ever again. To me it really doesn't matter when he "stained" that jersey and honor. Take it down, I say!

Was the Agriculture Commissioner before Farmer audited?

I hear you. I can respect that. I hope they keep it up but I definitely understand if they do take it down. I wonder if this will become an issue for UK.

The bigger Crime is everyone who voted for him because of who he was. So I am not mad at Richie. He did what the voters sent him there to do, live off what he thought was Fame. He had no experience. After word of his first term the same voters did it again.

 

 

I live in Frankfort and see Richie almost daily. He has done far worse than this report shows. I am just glad he and Williams didnt win. Talk about a crime!
