There’s apparently a barn-burner of a Senate primary in Kentucky. One of the two contenders, Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo, is bashing his opponent, Attorney General Jack Conway because Conway went to–well, just take a guess.
Nope – it’s not Cuba.
It’s not North Vietnam.
Mongiardo is lathered up because his opponent went to
Duke.
As Dave Barry used to say, “I swear I am not making this up.”
Of course, UK fans might still be smarting from Christian Laettner’s last-second shot in the Duke vs. UK game back in the 1992 NCAA Tournament. In a close race . . .
Yep, this is true. Another schooling issue may be that Conway also went to high school at St. X, which is the most resented high school in the state because it’s…gasp…Catholic, in Louisville, and they win the state title in everything.
Thanks for the Kentucky cultural references.
