Uber-Obnoxious, ultra-right wing Ohio GOP gubernatorial nominee J. Kenneth Blackwell had blasted Democrat Ted Strickland for employing an aide who committed a misdemeanor. Now we come to find that Blackwell once had a felon on his payroll.
As state treasurer, Blackwell unknowingly hired a man with a long record of arrests and kept him on the payroll even after his office discovered the man's record and brought it to Blackwell's attention. Under Blackwell, who was treasurer from March 1994 to January 1999, Michael A. Toomer received two pay increases before leaving the treasurer’s office in 2002 and landing in prison for the next four years.
In another shining moment for the GOP, Florida State Rep. Ralph Arza found out over the weekend that another legislator had filed a complaint claiming he used a racial slur to describe the black chief of Miami-Dade's schools. Arza was so angry, he hit the bottle and in a stupor he called colleague, Rep. Gus Barreiro, and left him an angry message on voice mail, cursing him out and calling Miami-Dade Superintendent Rudy Crew the N-word.
Arza explained that he has a temper problem - especially when he is shitfaced - and will seek "immediate counseling." Maybe he will share a room at Betty Ford with Mel Gibson or Mark Foley? Am I the only one fed up with every asshole who screws up running to rehab or the shrink?
Exactly how did these clows ever get elected in the first place?
