The RP: A Day of Remembrance and Laughter

The colorful story of Kentucky politics lost a legendary character this week in the passing of Gatewood Galbraith.

Gatewood would have never considered himself a recovering politician —  He enjoyed politics too much to ever fully leave.  But his candor, aversion to hyper-partisanship and extraordinary sense of humor certainly reflected the values of The Recovering Politician.

So today, we are dedicating this site to his memory, and we’ve opened it up to the RP Nation to share their remembrances.

For our Kentucky readers, this is a chance to say goodbye, and share a few laughs, with someone who was part of our Comonwealth’s political fabric for more than three decades.  For our readers outside the Bluegrass State, it’s a chance to learn about a true Kentucky original.

We hope you enjoy this day of Gatewood memories.  And if you missed your chance to submit an article, please feel free to fill up our Comments section with your remembrances.
