The article is a hit piece. At least they had the integrity to admit that the didn't write the letter. Still the intent is obvious and the fear can be smelled and felt.

So National Review is the hit man for the GOPe. Just wanted to clear that up.
The Nobles are in panic and William Wallace is wearing a Matt Bevin 2014 T-shirt. “Are you ready for a war”?
McConnell is calling in favors, getting his people to get dirty on Bevin. Hopefully, Kentucky responds the way Texas did when Dewhurst took this route against Cruz.
Support Matt Bevin to oust Mitch McConnell in KY
YUP....the elitists are OUTTING themselves....
Hit piece, yes.
What we are seeing is simple:
1. The President of the firm knew that something was wrong with TARP.
2. The Investment Exec. was “on board” with the Federal solution.
3. The President was barred by Fed Regulations from speaking his mind and was, in fact, compelled by law to sign his name to a document he disagreed with and was prevented by law from saying so.
What we see here is why Fed regulations are so evil and stupid.
Exactly. Flop Sweat by Mitch.
This is a Republic not an aristocracy Mcconnell isn’t senator for life.
The Empire Strikes Back.
National Review should be asking McConnell about all of his lies and flips.
wow. They are really digging deep to pull up dirt on Bevin.
Having experienced this in KS for years, if a conservative runs whether or not to unseat a RINO (known as "moderates" in KS, in the past) will find far greater resistance from GOPe than the democrat party!
Everyone will jump into the fray to disparage whichever conservative candidate has the best chance to win, including and especially the media!
Conservatives will run against democrats, GOPe and media and should they win a Primary, the GOPe will gang up against the conservative Primary winner and support the democrat!

Bevin was interviewed on Beck’s show today, he stated:
He did not write the commentary or opinion, and in fact, steered away from doing so, for the ethical and legal purposes. The financial investment arena is the most regulated in the country, and he was following the laws and regulations as the chairman and any attempt to reword the investment opinion of the people who had been hired by law to make that opinion, would have been illegal. It was required by law, for him to verify the veracity of the financial statement. It would have been ILLEGAL for him to change what was put in that report.
The letter he signed was that he verified the actual financial facts and figures, not the opinions or commentary and had nothing to do with the comments or opinions therein.
But, leave it to the left, to twist it into what it is not, to throw mud. They apparently, are afraid of Bevin. Good.
Love to have a list of conservative media vs rino media. Don’t remember why I stopped reading NR. Maybe this is why.
If Bevin was ‘CEO’ why couldn’t he refuse to sign, and or move to fire the Statist writing the Annual Report?
Does Bevin have evidence to give us that he eventually DID fire that person penning this pro-TARP stuff?
Sorry, it’s a huge disappointment. Even tho McConnell should indeed GO. There is No way to say otherwise.
I found his lawyerly responses on Beck unconvincing he basically said
“Hey I was ONLY THE COMPANY’s CEO, WHAT COULD I DO?” [/s]
Bevin is a man.
NR and McConnell are girly men.

Actually, they admitted that he claimed he did not write the letter.
Which wasn’t the issue. A letter was sent from his firm, with his signature, telling people investing in his firm that the TARP was a great thing.
Was he lying to his investors? Or is he misleading now when claiming he did not support TARP?
I wish the TARP supporters would have the courage to just admit it. It was a solid concept, and mostly worked, and we got back almost all the money spent. As government programs go, and as originally intended, it was a “success”.
The biggest flaw was the ability for the president to spend the money returned from TARP on other “tarp-like” things, allowing Obama a slush fund to send money to his buddies.
