Bredesen Again, Again and Again

This from today's Knoxville News-Sentinel, the complete story here(Free Registration Required).

Gov. Phil Bredesen's campaign announced Monday it will return $22,300 in contributions given since 2001 by individuals caught up in a sweeping probe into public corruption in Cocke County.

This begs the question, is the Governor only giving the money back on Tuesday, because there was a huge front page story in the Knoxville News-Sentinel on Sunday, two days ago. He has now gone 96 days (today) without giving the money back from the troopers campaign. That story here.

This also begs the question, why is NO Republican with name recognition running against this Governor, he has more twist and turns then any Governor in the states history.

The last question that begs to be asked. With apologies to Senator Howard Baker, Jr. What did the Governor know and when did he know it.

The list continues to grow, I will begin a list to the side of the blog entitled Bredesen's Closet, detailing all the skeleton's. It is a big walk in closet, that's all I am saying.

You forgot the time he signed into law that school buses could go past their life of 15 years. This was one month after that 15 year old bus with bad brakes broke both my son's legs and jaw!
