If you're interested in some good old-fashioned political mud-slinging, the Fancy Farm picnic is this Saturday (8/6/05) in Graves County, Kentucky. It's a four-hour drive from Louisville but, from what I hear, it's well worth it. This event is held once a year and all of our statewide politicians are there to give stump speeches and be seen. The crowd heckles, cheers, boos, and generally interacts with the politicians as they give their speeches. It is highly likely that our illustrious Governor will be heckled over the current waste of time and money (also known as the "hiring probe") initiated by Stumbo in Frankfort.
The event is actually a Catholic picnic held in Fancy Farm, Kentucky every year. For the past 120 years, it has served as the rallying point for all politicians throughout the state (both Democrat and Republican). For political junkies in Kentucky, it's a pilgrimage/tradition. I hear that the BBQ at this picnic is not to be missed either.
