| Who Will Be Held Accountable For Snooping in Joe the Plumber's Records? |
| 2008-10-29 |
| Jim Geraghty, National Review Glad to see somebody's being held accountable for snooping in Joe the Plumber's records -- Toledo Police Department clerk Julie McConnell faces charges of "gross misconduct" at a disciplinary hearing next week. I'd urge voters in Ohio to remember this statement from their governor, Ted Strickland: Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland is satisfied that there are no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher, a spokesman said. "Based on what we know to this point, we don't have any reason to believe the information was improperly accessed or disclosed by a state employee," said Keith Dailey, Strickland's press secretary. Come on, Governor. You were a die-hard Hillary backer. You were the first Democrat to say you wouldn't be Obama's running mate. Don't pretend to be stupid, or bet your political future on the premise that the voters are stupid. They know abuse of power when they see it. |

| #10 Ohio in 2008 will have the dubious honor of holding the most corrupt election outside of Chicago. Between fake voter registrations from ACORN, fraudulent absentee ballots from Obama supporters, and active stonewalling and cover-ups from the Strickland administration it's getting really ugly. |

| #8 Sure... right after Jim McDermitt (D-AlQaeda) is held accountable for releasing an illegally taped phone conversation to the media. |

| #4 I wonder if the union is going to pick up her legal bills when the civil suit hits. Hey, Joe you should open a legal fund website where donation can be made, with the security features turned off of course. |

| #2 Expect the union to fight like hell for her and expect the disciplinary board to cave, both after the election. |

| #1 Ms. McConnell was hired by the police department in April, 1995, and is a member of Local 7, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. Just doing her part for "the cause"... |
