Northup on Kentucky Newsmakers

You can watch it at this page, but Anne Northup has been touting her conservative credentials. We'll let you decide! Try this out:

  • Anne Northup was 0 for 19 on the Jeff Flake anti-pork amendments in the U.S. House, tying her with Ben Chandler and Hal Rogers, an up-and-coming porker and Kentucky's Prince of Pork, respectively.

  • Northup funneled millions of dollars to a charity she herself established. According to Citizens Against Government Waste:
    According to USA Today, Northup not only named herself as a director of the organization, but the chairman of the board is a campaign donor. While some of these grants may help people, they also act as a clever reminder to the people of Louisville of Northup's philanthropy, phony as it may be.
  • Does it strike anyone as odd that Anne Northup, someone who prides herself on having sent your federal tax dollars to Louisville churches, now claims to be a fiscal conservative?
More to come ...

Fletcher was on Newsmakers today. We'll see if he did any better.
