10. I know, I said privacy too

my point is Democrats can't demand answers. Governor Beshear certainly has a right to know but he can't force anyone to give him an answer.

Republicans are effed up people. How long was that Rep. mia with no information at all? That Rep. was probably there test run for McConnell to see how long they could hold out without giving any information.
