What Happened Today

Okay, so a recap for those of you who missed it. Today, AG Marc Dann attempted to trade the one chip he has left on the table-his resignation-for the removal of a provision from a bill that would allow the Ohio Inspector General to begin an investigation immediately after the governor signs it. Instead, Dann wants it to take effect 90 days after the governor signs it like normal "non-emergency" Ohio laws do.
However, this was a deal that no one on either side of the aisle was buying, and after that became clear, Dann decided to stay where he is and not resign. To me this shows a couple of things. First, it shows a complete lack of concern for the party or the Governor on whose coattails he rode into office. Secondly, it shows Dann has completely given up hope on his political career and instead might be trying to avoid more serious allegations from coming to light that would have more serious consequences. He must have something juicy to hide that he feels will be exposed by the IG in an investigation.
How this jokester ever got into office amazes me. It was less than 2 years ago that he promised to hold not only himself but other Democratic office holders accountable on October 15, 2006. Check out this YouTube video. Where'd this spirit of accountability go, there, Marc?

Mvirencius, if you were willing to trade your resignation to avoid the possiblity of an IG investigation, doesn't that seem to suggest that there is more to this puppy than "hiring bad people, having an affair, and fudging while answering some questions?"
Like TAmber1 said earlier today, Dann wants a cover up. What could he want to cover up that is so juicy, he's willing to resign to make it happen?
I'm hearing rumors about this that I can't print, but suffice it to say the stories will be coming out in the next few days.

I'm hearing rumors about this
I've been hearing about this supposed slam-dunk piece of incriminating evidence for days. Must be good stuff. When it finally decides to reveal itself I'll shut the flock up. Until then I'm just gonna enjoy the view as my state and country continue to swirl down the toilet. Maybe I'll try to find some updated information about David Vitter and Larry Craig. At least their scandals are kinda interesting, but I somehow doubt I'll find anything new.
Dann should sue...
Dann... is trying to avoid prison
Prison should be mandatory for anybody having an affair, hiring some bad people and maybe possibly sorta fudging while answering some questions.
The Great Ohio Democratic Party Witchhunt Of 2008 just gets richer by the minute.
