KY Gov's spokesperson drops F-bomb, resigns

Want evidence that working for a corrupt, embattled chief executive is stressful in the extreme? Look no further than Brett Hall, former spokesman for Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher.

Hall has resigned his $105 thousand per year job after responding to a reporter's question with what is arguably the most vulgar word in the English language.

... it happened Thursday when Gov. Ernie Fletcher's director of communications responded to a question at an impromptu press conference in a Capitol hallway with the emphatic and vulgar, "F--- no."
Admittedly, being Fletcher's flak has got to be one tense gig these days, but the F-word? Come on, Brett, tighten up.

I mean, if working for Fletcher can cause this kind of loss of self-control, we really need to worry about Tony Snow. He could be about to blow. As in, blow up. As in, literally explode.
