Hamilton County Commissioner Pat DeWine was involved while out to dinner Monday night in an altercation with a man who made critical remarks about DeWine’s father, two-term Republican U.S. Senator Mike DeWine

"He was purposefully saying some insulting and personal comments about my father," DeWine said Tuesday of the incident at Jean-Ro Bistro, 413 Vine St., downtown.

DeWine and his date were sharing dinner and a bottle of wine when he heard a man at the next table – Dr. Chris Bolling – make derogatory comments about the senator, who was defeated by Sherrod Brown last week in his bid for re-election.

DeWine admitted he lost his temper, initially saying there was no physical confrontation but he later acknowledged Bolling’s glasses were knocked off by DeWine’s extended hand as Bolling was getting out of his chair.

“We had a heated exchange of words,” DeWine said. “There was no profanity. I regret losing my temper.

1. Cry me a fecking river, DeWhine Jr

:nopity:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. get used to it

just cause your daddy's a loser, doesn't mean you are too... honest!

I hope his date walked out on him during his temper tantrum.

3. No Criticism

So a private person in this country is not allowed to voice their opinion about a politic an. Gosh - if his Dad's a politic an isn't he suppose to know the constitution..especially the first amendment.

[mtnester]

4. So, he is a bully AND listens in to other people's conversations

sad

[Kagemusha]

5. So knocking off glasses isn't physical?

Wonder what the legal precedent is for that. I know in basketball the hand is considered part of the ball but, in assault, there's no ball..

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. In politics, the face is considered part of the fist?

:shrug:

[Kagemusha]

17. That's a valiant effort.

:)

[northernsoul]

31. under the common law of torts

any intentional offensive touching of the person or anything attached to the person qualifies as BATTERY.

[MidwestTransplant]

6. Sounds like it was overheard not that the guy was rubbing in the sons face

Who would know who the kid is anyway. The headline is misleading.

[mike_c]

7. I wonder how the date went afterward...?

Probably not well. Starting fights in a restuarant usually drags the mood pretty badly.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. As an ex-bouncer I would say:

Bullshit, DeWine. We both know what happened. So will everyone else when the charges are filed and lawsuits pressed.


Lotsa witnesses there in public, you know.

[Botany]

9. Egg zack lee

little punk heard something he didn't like so he
wanted a piece of the guy.

Please let me eat next to him and I will say
plenty ....

BTW I am 5'9" and 190 :rofl:

Good luck w/ the law suit DeWine.

21. Pat DeWiner Is A Narcissistic Schmuck

Liar, cheat, and CROOK. I hope the good Dr sues Pat's whiny motherfucking ASS off!

[roseBudd]

10. LOL Dewine and his date. Mr Family Values GOP is divorced from childhood sweetheart

Karen and yes there are kids.

To put it delicately and as a very progressive dem who is all for miscegenation, the mistress is not the usual GOP flavor.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

16. Let me put it less delicately...

His girlfriend works for a lobbying firm that received huge city contracts while DeWine was on City Council.

[roseBudd]

24. And I know someone who knows someone who discovered them going at it...

in a janitor's closet at a country club in Mt. Lookout or Hyde Park, I forget, while Dewine was still married.

Nate Livingston created a Friends of Karen Dewine yahoo group that was just awful. If you know Nate you can imagine. I fell for it initially and thought the "woman scorned" had gone Betty Broderick.

[stepnw1f]

11. Lot's of Republicans Losing their Tempers These Days

Why is that, I wonder?

[Erika]

18. Yeah, they are a mean bunch

They gave it out but couldn't take it.

[shanti]

12. freedom of speech, mr. de whine!

put that in your pipe and smoke it!

[FredScuttle]

13. Oh dear.....must not insult the deposed DeWhine!

Fuck that asshole. His father is a crook and I'd bet the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Get over it, Pat!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

15. Dewine and his date...

Ask Pat "Family Values" DeWine about his ex-wife and children. Fucking hypocrite.

Note to Pat DeWine: A wuss like you should pick your fights carefully, because anybody this side of a twelve-year-old girl could kick your ass. I assume that Dr. Bolling was either a pacifist of a quadriplegic or would be missing half your teeth.

[LiberalHeart]

19. These must be the glasses that went flying (see photo down the page)

[Richard Steele]

20. Typical Repub- a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. Frickin SHAMEFUL.

[MGD]

22. Bolling’s glasses were knocked off by DeWine’s extended hand as Bolling was getting out of his chair

In other words, he sucker punched him before he could get out of his chair to get on an equal footing. What an asshole. I'm so glad we got those dishonorable dirtbags out of our legislature.

[w4rma]

23. So it's "heckling" now to have a private conversation about a bad man? (nt)

[oasis]

25. DeWine's son should stop eating out. His dad is a spineless Bush enabler.

:puke:

[BlueInPhilly]

26. If what Son is saying is true, I would have decked the guy too....

Sorry to disagree, but I would defend my parents too, if anyone said anything bad about them (merited or not) - even if they weren't saying it to me. Especially my mother. If anyone said anything remotely bad about my mother and I heard that person, I too would confront him/her.

[Tyler Durden]

27. Enjoy your lawsuit.

This ain't a 1950's schoolyard: Dueling is illegal and the "Marquis de Queensbury Rules" apply in the ring only, and there only obliquely.

If I remember correctly a certain "President" probably invaded a country and deposed a dictator at least in part due to the "fact" that he "...tried to kill my daddy!"

It doesn't matter WHAT a private citizen said about a public figure. It happens to be (under the law) free speech.

[oasis]

29. Why limit it to defending just your parents against criticism? How about

your favorite football team or coach? Your favorite late night teevee host? Suppose someone trashes your favorite political website or political party? :spank:

[HughBeaumont]

28. Maybe we should have the workers and soldiers of this state

. . . confront the senior DeSwine about the serial Bewsh-enabling, job-shipping and IWR supporting that's hit Ohio's middle class in the face for years.

Public figure, freedom of speech, kid. Your dad fucked Ohio's voters and lost for it. The fear/smear card only goes so far with people who can't buy groceries or better themselves. Deal.
