Ted Strickland’s Cornhole Festival Rules Out Any Chance For Veep Selection

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

I will continue to serve the people of Ohio and breathe through my mouthOhio Attorney General Marc “Hawaiian Pizza” Dann, whose admission of a sex affair with a young staffer last week was the latest in a series of inappropriate Dann sex stories, is under pressure to step down. A lot of pressure. You know how much pressure? This much: “All statewide Democratic elected officials and legislative leaders are calling on embattled Attorney General Marc Dann to resign from office.” And he’s a Democrat too!

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
