We're surprised?

At first, I thought the resignation of a state rep for having a nude photo on his computer was an over reaction to what might have been a slight mistake... until I read this in the Enquirer.

You may remember a semi-amusing news item last fall about Ohio State Rep. Matt Barrett of Amherst, who inadvertently flashed a photo of a nude woman on his computer while giving a civics lesson to a high school class. The photo was just one of several on a flash drive Barrett brought from home for his presentation.

"I have no idea where these came from," he said at the time, saying he received the device as a gift.

The next day, however, the freshman Democrat explained it as "an internal family matter," requesting "respect for our privacy as we deal with this situation." House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty backed him up, saying, "This situation is a matter between him, his teenaged son and his family."

Yeah, right. Ohio House Democrats announced Barrett's resignation Thursday morning, saying he stepped down "after he admitted he was not truthful about the photos displayed ... during a classroom presentation."

According to a lawmaker contacted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, nude photos of two women from Barrett's district were on the flash drive.

Wow, how noble to throw your teenage son under the bus for naked pictures of your honey(ies). How democratic of you.

Then, I read this headline about Mr. Dann, democrat, attorney general, and overall scumbag.

Childish emails common between Dann and staffers

Dann's 28 year old scheduler, Jessica Utovich, playfully calls Dann names, invites him to drinks, solicits his opinion of her hair and scolds him for his conduct in thousands of emails between them released this week.

Are we paying for a giant frat house up there in Columbus?

I currently have business in front of the AG's office right now. I won't divulge details because I don't want to jeopardize my client's situation. But let's just say it sounds like there's a whole bunch of 28 year old honey's up there in his office.

Does he interview babes via text messages or something?

I'll give you that the state GOP became corrupt over a matter of a decade but the democrats haven't even been up there 18 months and we already have orgies running amok all over Columbus.... The strip joints up there probably never had it so good.

But if you're a democrat this is all OK because none of it is "illegal".
