Sheehy End of Day Summary

The only person to really come forward in all
of this was Dr.  Hatcher which makes us men
look spineless. Why is no one in Nebraska
good at publicity and damage control?

Everyone was expecting that the Nebraska gubernatorial race was going to be a slick transition to Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy. The question that only a few were asking was "Will his skeletions be able to stay underground for such a high office?"

This is all turning out like a 48 Hours Mystery episode. Sheehy doesn't do any measurable policy or presiding work, gets bored of putting on the miles and hardly seeing his wife and kids so he needs an outlet. Enter 4 women. He begins his finagling with a Central Nebraska woman, a Bellevue Dr. Theresa Hatcher, a Texas woman, and a Colorado woman.

The OWH's inspection of the records, on the Scottsbluff Star Herald's page (seriously why can't I find this on the front page of the OWH?) uncovers that two of the  anonymous women were not sexual but more platonic. The Central Nebraska woman couldn't be reached. Mrs. Hatcher on the other hand was the one that Sheehy wanted to be with to "start a new life"...lolwut?

Heineman Sheehy Resignation Press Conference

Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman held a press conference this morning to comment on the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy.

"I was very surprised. Like I say, I trusted him and that trust was broken." Heineman said about Sheehy's resignation in connection with phone records obtained from the Omaha World Herald.

The World Herald obtained records that thousands of late night phone calls to women had been made from Sheehy's government issued cell phone.
