摘要

Both Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln were born in Kentucky. That should suggest how wretched and rough state politics can be. True to form, last week the Republican governor, Ernie Fletcher, was indicted on three misdemeanour charges involving hiring policies. Jobs were alleged to have been handed out as political favours: scandalous stuff. The state of bourbon and moonshine is not famous for honest politicians. In 1994, a former congressman from Kentucky pleaded guilty to bank fraud. In 2003, the then-governor, Paul Patton, pardoned his chief of staff, who had been indicted on campaign-finance charges. Mr Fletcher becomes the third Kentucky governor to be indicted. Last year he issued a blanket pardon to others in his administration facing indictments in the same scandal. (Fourteen more sealed indictments were handed down by the grand jury last week.)
