CORBIN, Ky. – Robert Ooten has a strange way of showing politicians that he likes them.
"When I first saw your commercial, I told my wife, 'That guy's an idiot,' " Ooten told Hal Heiner during a campaign stop at Southeast Apparatus LLC, a small company in Corbin that builds fire trucks and ambulances.
"A successful businessman who's not in politics who wants to get into politics? He's an idiot," Ooten, a shop foreman, told Heiner.
