- "Republican David Williams tried to stir support on Tuesday by criticizing Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear for taking part in a Hindu “ground blessing” ceremony last week for a new India-based employer in Elizabethtown. 'He’s there participating with Hindu priests, participating in a religious ceremony,;' Williams said during a campaign stop in Shelbyville. 'He’s sitting down there with his legs crossed, participating in Hindu prayers with a dot on his forehead with incense burning around him. I don’t know what the man was thinking.' Beshear’s campaign spokesman called Williams’ remarks 'pathetic and desperate.'" [Bluegrass Politics]
