Mr. Bush should have ducked that appearance. Maybe he learned a lesson when Newport native Gary Bauer, a former candidate for the nomination and a devout Christian, endorsed Mr. Bush's opponent, John McCain. Mr. Bauer is a Christian conservative, and wears his politics on his sleeve. But he doesn't buy into attacking people and religions because they don't believe exactly as he does. Meanwhile,, back in Frankfort, there are plenty of problems legislators could be dealing with instead of religion.
Health care is still a mess.
Roads need repaired. KERA is suffering growing pains. The budget is in trouble. Special interests have far too much influence. Too bad, Kentucky.
