New money scandal coverage speaks volumes


After spending the first month of the Robert Felner scandal at University of Louisville acting like stealing $694,000 was just boys being boys, The Louisville Courier Journal is now content to cheerlead the main fox as he guards the henhouse:

"The irony is that any mistakes in money management were made on the watch of Dr. Ramsey -- an expert in budget matters. The good news is that, if anybody knows how to improve financial oversight, he should."

That sounds great. U of L President James Ramsey didn't think of managing finances well enough to prevent a $694,000 theft, but they think he is just the guy to prevent it from happening again.

Sounds like someone is a little too interested in getting invited to all the right parties.
