Voinovich is to blame......

[WCGreen]

If he had any balls, he would not have let him get out of Committee....

So Saint George gets to parade around as if he some kind of maverick because he pulled a catch 22 and basically told the opponents of John Bolton that I am behind 100% unless I have to be...

The only cover Bush had was Bolton making it out of committee....

Dubious george gave him that cover......


Hey George V. Thanks for Fucking nothing


I am sooooooo proud to be from Ohio!!!!!!!

[aquart]

1. Tell Voinovich.

[WCGreen]

3. I did

[still_one]

2. you are correct about voinovich

I suspect he was threatened

I hope Ohio elects Paul Hacket

[Pithy Cherub]

4. Actually, my bet is he still would have been recess appointed.

This miserable excuse for a living breathing human who "occupies" the White House seriously has never been able to accept NO from anybody on anything.

5. I know!

I read that Voinovich was being scrutinized now for possible mob connections, anyone else hear this?

Dramatic new charges deepen link between Ohio's (Ohio's what?)
by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
July 29, 2005

COLUMBUS -- New charges filed against Ohio Governor Bob Taft's former top aide have blazed a new trail between "Coingate" and the GOP theft of the 2004 presidential election.

Brian Hicks appears in court today to answer charges that he failed to report vacation trips he took to Coingate mastermind Tom Noe's $1.3 million home in the Florida Keys. A top Taft aide for a dozen years, Hicks stayed at Noe's place in 2002 and 2003. Another Taft aide, Cherie Carroll, is charged with taking some $500 in free dinners from Noe.

Noe is a high-roller crony of Taft, US Senator George Voinovich and President George W. Bush. Noe charged the Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation nearly $13 million to invest some $58 million. Ohio Attorney-General Jim Petro, to whom Noe once donated money, says some $4 million disappeared into Noe's pocket.

The new charges against Taft's former aide are at the edge of Coingate's links to Bush, Voinovich and organized crime. Through Noe's wife Bernadette, those links extend to the GOP theft of Ohio 2004...

12. Thank you !!!!! nt

[OzarkDem]

14. He's linked to Coingate

mob connections would not surprise me.

[Vinca]

6. It wouldn't have mattered.

King George will appoint who he wants, when he wants, no matter what we want. How does the phrase go - government of the Shrub, by the Shrub and for the Shrub?

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. He could have appointed him ragardless of the committee's action

He could have given a recess appointment to anyone, even someone he never even nominted.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Did anyone ever hear what that Voinovitch info re Bolton was??

[zbdent]

9. Don't trust Voinovich

I've said this many, MANY times . . .

[WCGreen]

10. He's a creepy dude....

[Wabbajack]

13. Bush would have recess appointed him anyway
