The little vet and her pink haired daughter that could - upset Mitch McConnell

The entire posting (long)is over at Ditch Mitch and is a good read. Mean Mitch was in Paducah, KY to film a TV commercial and a fund raising dinner and ended up running from a woman and her child wanting to ask him a question. She got it all on tape. And for that she has been threaten with her job, her town is in danger of losing their Mitch funded pork and free speech has taken another hit.

The elation from last night has since turned to trepidation and perhaps a tinge of outright fear. Little did I know the firestorm that was about to ensue. Apparently, yours truly, "The Little Vet Who Could", and her pre-teen daughter “The Little Girl Who Did”, rattled the Senator to such a degree that we were the subject of great discussion during Senator McConnell's exclusive fund-raising event in Western Kentucky, towards which he laid rubber out of my theater's alley to attend. Yet, the fun didn't stop there. Little did I know, we were also the topic of discussion at many other emergency meetings throughout this tiny town of 25,000 on this cold, blustery Paducah day, January 16, 2008.

Within the past 24 hours, tens of millions of dollars in funding for all programs previously promised from the Federal Government to our fair city's River Front Revitalization Program have suddenly been moved into the "uncertain column"; at least until the city fathers can prove that crazy rabble rouser "Heather Ryan" is not associated with their programs/organizations. That's right ladies and gentlemen, in no uncertain terms, I've been informed that my little "escapade" in videotaping the Senate Minority Leader has suddenly put Paducah Pork on the chopping block in Mr. McConnell's book should me and my silly little girl remain in the forefront of Paducah Politics. Last night, at a dinner attended by my superior, myself, my husband, and my daughter Heaven, I was informed that if I did not cease my political activities in Paducah I would LOSE MY JOB.

I have to admit, it took me a while to process. I just didn't get it. What the hell did I do that was so vile, that was so horrid, that would make the Senator so angry that he would personally ensure that my job is in jeopardy? What would make him threaten the powers that be that projects aimed to benefit upwards of 50,000 constituents in the Western Kentucky area were two seconds away from dying a pathetic, undignified death in the waste basket of a Senate Committee yet to be determined? Then, a wise friend enlightened me. I had him on tape, ignoring a little girl who wanted to know if he wanted to kill her active duty dad in Iraq, ducking into his security guard’s waiting SUV and covering his face, as if I were some putrid, stinking piece of crap that didn't deserve a minute of his time. Is it possible that this amateur video, shot with my own shaking hand, could bring down the Senate Minority Leader? As unreal as the possibility may be, the thought of him losing his powerful job loomed large enough for him to put out the word that I need to lose mine. So, if you heard an enormous sucking sound coming from Western Kentucky this morning, it was the sound of the puckered lips of frightened people here as they inhaled deeply, held their breath and put distance between themselves and me and my crazy pink-haired daughter.

Chalk this up as the absolutely most bizarre experience of my relatively young life. On Monday morning I was but a mere Executive Director of an independent movie theater in Downtown Paducah. My husband, a full time student at the local law school and I rake in slightly more than the median Western Kentucky income of $25,000 a year. I am truly a nobody in the grand scheme of things. Yet, once my daughter and I put into practice our First Amendment right to question our senior Senator about his intentions in Iraq, I am deemed public enemy #1. What the hell is happening here? Is this still America or did I fall asleep and someone moved my family and our pathetic little two bedroom mobile dwelling to Nazi Germany? Since when in America can a Senator be frightened so much by a child and her mother that he threatens to ruin her life and/or the lives of 50,000 people in her community, should she continue saying whatever in the hell she desires?

Guess ol' Chickenshit Chickenhawk Mitch not only ran from serving his country he is scared of a little 12-year-old girl.

and my computer keeps shutting down the browser when I go to the site.

Countdown maybe, or Dan Abrams...along with the after effects for the community and the woman and her family..This deserves far broader attention than just Kentucky...

:popcorn:

The writer of the article did say that the video is in a safe place and she has made plenty of copies for distribution. Hope she gets them out there soon.

If I see the video anywhere I'll post it.

I can't wait for the movie.

Hell of a position to be in..

position to be taken down this year. His poll numbers, despite the skewed poll his team released last week showing approval rating of 61%, he is more in the 40% range with Chucklenuts with a 37% approval in Kentucky. Mean Mitch has been untouchable for the last two elections but he is very vulnerable and can be beat.

Andrew Horne is running as the Democratic candidate. Horne is a 27 year veteran and has the ability to be a good leader for Kentucky if we can unseat Mitch. Unfortunately the National Democratic party doesn't see the need to help our candidate out. They aren't putting any money into his campaign as of this time. We have a chance to take down a homophobic, nasty-assed, DimSon wannabe Minority Leader and the DNC is taking a pass. Tell your friends.
