Owning the issue - not just for politics anymore

Interesting quote from the normally level-headed Hoppy Kercheval, in which he demonstrates that his B.S. Detector is usually a little off when the topic is our esteemed Governor.

Now consider our current governor, who would have been the quarterback for WVU in the 60s if not for a blown-out knee.

I am sure some of the Governor's former teammates and contemporaries have repeatedly fed Hoppy this line, and some of them may actually believe it. But anyone who has seen the way Joe Manchin has handled Logan's Law, or the recent special session regarding the Mullins decision is well aware of the Governor's ability to warp reality.

Simply put, if Manchin is not hero of the day, the issue is not allowed to advance until enough time had lapsed that the media would give Joe credit, when he fact HE was the main impediment.

I guess that if he would have performed better on the vision test, he would have been the first man on the moon.
