An amusing look at the Bullman

Today's Courier-Journal has an interesting profile on long shot Democratic gubernatorial candidate Otis "Bullman" Hensley:

Hensley wears suits to campaign events but needs someone to tie his neckties because, he said, he doesn't know how, and as soon as he can, he changes back to jeans and T-shirts.

He never wears a seat belt -- even though state law requires it -- because they're too constraining. But he does strap in his three teddy bears, Huey, Dewey and Louie, in back of his limousine when he drives with his wife to explore different counties on long Sunday trips.

Hensley takes his nickname from the 12-foot-tall, 3,000-pound model of a bull that he totes to campaign events, along with a slogan, "Control the bull in Frankfort and put people first."



Good Luck, Bullman, you'll need it.
