Pam loses battle of bust
Kentucky's governor has rejected TV star Pamela Anderson's appeal to pluck a bust of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders from the state Capitol because she considered it "a monument to cruelty" to chickens.
In a letter to Anderson, Governor Ernie Fletcher said he has no intention of removing the Sanders bust from the statehouse. "We have no plans to remove or change anything about the display," Fletcher said in the letter sent Friday. "Colonel Sanders remains a Kentucky icon. His success story has been an inspiration to many. The industry he began has employed hundreds of thousands of workers over the years. His business and his legacy have been good for Kentucky."
