86 Government Accountability




Interesting story on Governor Bob Taft's visit to the Cincinnati Museum Center on Friday.

Question of the Day:
whether he has played golf with Thomas Noe, the former Taft campaign contributor who now stands accused of stealing millions from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.


Answer of the summer:
That's under investigation


This reminds me of the Bush administration response to any and all questions about Karl Rove. Check out this six minute video clip of White House Press Secretary Scott Mclellan employing the same tactic.

These examples show politicians on the local and national level using a technicality to avoid being held accountable for their actions. Comedian Louis Black touched on this in his HBO special Black on Broadway when he explained that he doesn't consider either Bush or Clinton to be leaders because neither of them ever admit to doing anything wrong.




Cincinnati Blog has an interesting take on it here.

under investigation?! either you played golf with him or you didn't! i guess it escapes your mind.

just like it escaped your staff's mind for SIX MONTHS that tens of millions of dollars was missing from BWC investments.

this clearly seems to be a case of 'when bad republicans go bad' .. we all know the score man.. now where's your karl rove at to come swoop in and save you?

republicans are already starting to distance themselves from taft.. #1 sign that he's in some shit.

This is very interesting site... » » »
