More and more Ohio fun
Republican Governor Bob Taft was charged yesterday with four criminal misdemeanor counts for failing to report thousands of dollars worth of gifts and trips, including two off-the-books golf outings with Tom "Coingate" Noe. Jesus' General takes a moment to write him a letter: "It's a shame that almost two decades after the Reagan revolution, the government still regulates graft. I hoped that we'd be able to bring free market principles to government once we were in charge, but, unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet. At least you can take comfort in the fact that many of your friends and acquaintances will be joining you soon. It looks like half the Republican elected officials in Ohio will eventually be indicted in the Coingate and other associated scandals." (Majikthise, Jesus General)
