| Ohio Republican candidate John Kasich caught telling a true story in governor's debate |
| 2010-09-17 |
| Andrew Malcolm, "Top of the Ticket" @ Los Angeles Times Well, here's a delightful news gem called to our attention by a loyal Ticket reader . . . . It concerns this week's Ohio gubernatorial debate between former Republican Rep. John Kasich and the Democrat incumbent, Ted Strickland. As is the case in many races all across the country for the Nov. 2 elections, polls show the Democrat is currently trailing the Republican. But that's not the fun story. The fun story is that during the Tuesday debate Kasich began to wax on about, you know, an older couple he'd recently talked with in a Bob Evans restaurant and how they had a pad out and were going over their challenged budget because of the bad economy that hasn't been stimulated by you-know-whose hundreds of billions of you-know-what. . . . a Democratic blogger in Ohio called Kasich on it. He wrote: "Someone please send me a photo of the Ohio couple in the Bob Evans with the napkin and I'll personally apologize to Congressman Kasich the next time I'm at his country club." Well, order up some humble pie while you're there, Anthony, because CNN's John King did better than that. He produced a film clip of Honest John Kasich talking to that very couple. And, look! There's the pad on the table. |

| #3 Well Darth, no way I'm taking that. I'm betting he has convenient memory loss or just avoids the club. |

| #2 Notice the term King used: "coincedental fact checking". Why do I have the feeling that that is the only kind the MSM do any more? |
