Bevin as Pharoah
A Feb. 24 letter took its text from the wrong book of the Bible and cast Gov. Matt Bevin in the wrong role. Far from being the chosen herald of the God of Revelations ready to pour his wrath on the 400,000 unbelievers in Kentucky, Bevin seems intent on playing the Pharaoh from Exodus, denying by his intransigence succor from the plagues that afflict them to the 500,000 Kentuckians now covered by expanded Medicaid and CHIP.
