FRANKFORT, Ky., May 11 -- A grand jury indicted Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) on misdemeanor charges Thursday, accusing him of illegally rewarding political supporters with state jobs since he took office two years ago.

Fletcher was charged with conspiracy, official misconduct and violating a prohibition against political discrimination....

"This has been a politically motivated, media-driven investigation from the start," Hall said. "Governor Fletcher has said repeatedly his conscience is clear. He has done nothing wrong."

Isn't that what they all say? Including DeLay?

The Corrupt Governmental Ruling Elite needs accountability, and
nothing does it like an indictment.
