Jim Gooch: "Secession is an option"

January 7, 2011
By Joe Sonka

The most embarrassing legislator in Kentucky has outdone himself. Today, when referring to EPA regulations on mountaintop removal mining, he threw out this as an option for Kentucky:

“Secession is an option.”

Yes, he really said that.

I know this is a bold statement, but of all the insane things that King Coal shill Jim Gooch has ever said in public, I think this has to rank at the top.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know already, Gooch is the Democratic chair of the House Natural Resources and Environment Committee.

One more thing to note: has anyone ever seen Jim Gooch and Basil Childress in the same room together? Just asking.

(h/t NRDC)

UPDATE: If Jim Gooch succeeds in his secession movement, I’m sure that Rand Paul’s “private security force” will step up to the plate for him. I mean, us.
