Girliemen of the Week

Date Awarded: November 14, 2008

Girlieman: Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland

Antics: He’s a Weasel on Steroids

Faced with, well-documented news reports that state officials used state computers to hound, harass, and intimidate a law-abiding citizen named Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (A.K.A. Joe The Plumber), Ohio Governor Ted Strickland turned into a complete weasel.

The skunk in the state power structure is a raving Obamunist named Helen Jones-Kelley, Ted’s director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Comrade Helen admits that she did the evil deed, running a lame excuse up the Nanny State flagpole. Her attempt at ‘nothing to see here’ was a nice try, but no match for the news sleuths at the Columbus Dispatch, which ratted her out, in a series of stories.

With some REAL journalists hot on the trail, Governor Ted needed to put the potential political scandal out of his misery. Waiting until late on a Friday evening, Teddy the Weasel, without any fanfare, put Comrade Helen on paid administrative leave, the political equivalent of "laying low, until the heat is off".

Teddy the Weasel is sending up the usual political smokescreen, by ordering his Inspector General, Tom Charles, to investigate: look into "the possibility, as yet unconfirmed, that a state computer or state e-mail was sued to assist in political fund raising". Fund raising? Holy, when you’re caught red-handed, change the subject, Batman! Take your fund raising and stick it, Weasel-Breath. Your minion, Comrade Helen, deserves to be FIRED, because she used coercive government power to hound a private citizen, whose only crime is making the Marxist Messiah look bad, ON CAMERA.

Teddy the Weasel is nailed to the statehouse door by this press release from Kevin DeWine, deputy chairman of the Buckeye State’s Republican Party:

"Gov. Strickland showed poor judgment by rushing to defend these questionable practices before getting all the facts. And his decision to wait until five o'clock on a Friday afternoon after the election to take action smacks of a cover-up...it's completely unacceptable that his administration has apparently turned state government into a giant political party machine."

For lacking the stones to put the citizens of Ohio, first...for turning into a complete, gutless, weasel when faced with a misuse of government power by one of his minions...for trying to change the subject and hide behind a transparent cover-up, Ted The Weasel Strickland is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.
