Governor Taft Charged
The Great-Grandson of William Howard Taft, the only president to also serve as chief justice on the Supreme Court got his ass busted today.
Doesn't sound like a lot of hot water, but I'd say it's a big deal when he's the first Ohio Governor to be charged with a crime while still in office. Someone pass him the Dumbass Hat.
Gov. Bob Taft has been charged in Franklin County Municipal Court with four criminal misdemeanors for failing to disclose golf outings and possibly other favors.
The charges were outlined at a press conference this afternoon with Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien and Columbus City Attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr.
If convicted on the first-degree misdemeanor charges, Taft faces a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to six months in jail on each count.

After FINALLY getting Blogger to update and receiving everyone's comments, I am now ready to hit the sack. Long day, with a longer day ahead of me tomorrow.
Be good kids!
As our greatest cinematic comedian would say, "Ehhhh, what a ma-ROON!" Sometimes I think I could stand our lords and masters being evil if they just weren't so stupid!
"Be good kids!"? Awww, Firemox, you know THAT'S no fun! ;)
"Shoot him now! Shoot him now!"
"You keep out of this! He doesn't have to shoot you now!"
"He does SO have to shoot me now! I DEMAND that you shoot me now!"
*BLAM*
Uh-fuh-dee, uh-fuh-dee, uh-fuh-dee, that's all, folks, Monster from the Id
Monster, you just made my day. That's my favorite cartoon and one of the best Michael Maltese ever wrote... :p

Meanwhile, I couldn't help but think of the old Mayor from Boston way back in the day (Curley, I believe his name was) who was mayor WHILE in the slammer for similar charges...ah, the more we forget history, the more we're doomed to repeat it... ;)
Odd how that whole repeating history thing happens. Humans never learn. We are such silly monkeys.
Moxiegrrl you only need to look at the recent pictures of Gov. Taft at the Ohio State fair. A white cowboy hat! He looks like a dumbass in that white cowboy hat. Check it out.
Because the "good guys" wear white hats, right?
Fucking posers.
he has accepted the charges. it's on the local news here. I think they said he pleaded guilty
Absolutely Moxiegrrl. The good guys always wear white hats.
What was Bob Taft thinking. Wearing a white cowboy hat. What a complete idiot. He forgot to wear his cowboy boots.
