IS WILLIAM GOEBEL GOING TO WIN ANOTHER ELECTION AS A DEAD MAN?
Covington icon and slain Kentucky Governor William Goebel (assassinated in 1900) is very active lately on Twitter. Check out some of his tweets:
From 10/31:
"Coming into the home stretch. Vote Goebel 2011!"
From 6/28:
"It looks like Kentucky Republicans are learning some of my lessons from back in the day. I'll still beat them. http://bit.ly/jF0Lvp"
From 6/23:
"Bob Farmer, jerk. http://huff.to/jDrX7r I'd have never let this guy on my ticket. Goebel for Gov in 2011."
From 4/26:
"If I were governor I'd bend the rivers to my will. And will when I am governor."
From 4/26:
"If I were governor I'd bend the rivers to my will. And will when I am governor."
And there are plenty more at his Twitter feed. Oh, and speaking of books... The new book about Goebel called "Wrath: A Novel of Kentucky" is still available for free, as the good Governor tweets:
"Use coupon code QY92P for 2 more weeks @http://www.smashwords.com to get a copy of that slanderous book about me for free."
