Mitch Was For Him Before He Was Against Him Before He Was For Him

After orchestrating Ernie Fletcher's campaign in 2003, Mitch McConnell propped up Anne Northup to challenge him in a primary, but it now appears McConnell has changed his mind once again about his former friend.

Quite a contrast from McConnell's reply to the Associated Press in December 2006:

Most worrisome for the governor, of course, is McConnell, who still sits atop Kentucky Republicans’ pecking order.

Asked if his refusal to endorse Fletcher could be seen as a slap at the governor, McConnell told The Associated Press, “You can draw whatever conclusion you want to.”

Taking Kentucky’s senior senator at his word, I drew the conclusion that Fletcher should check his face in the mirror to see how red the hand print is.
