Heavens to Murgatroyd

This just in from WKYT, 27 Newsfirst in Lexington, Kentucky:

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A special grand jury indicted three of Gov. Ernie Fletcher's subordinates, including his deputy chief of staff, on various misdemeanor charges, including criminal conspiracy and political discrimination.

Dick Murgatroyd, Fletcher's deputy chief of staff and former deputy transportation secretary, was indicted Wednesday on allegations of political discrimination, criminal conspiracy and violating state employees' rights.

Not surprising, really, since they're all Republicans and part of the "Culture of Corruption" (a phrase which I think might find legs). Nevertheless, news in Kentucky.
I was just delighted at the idea that there really is someone named "Murgatroyd". Heavens!
