Go to hell, Voinovich,
A little known fact: Senators who are tough guys often get weepy when they are tired.
If GEORGE E. CONDON Jr had a sense of fair play he would have openly asked how Voin-a-sell-out's treatment of the FAA employees matches his call for decency.
What a absolute loon. He discounts all of the other people who say Bolton was hard but fair and attaches on to a DU loon of her own, a organizer of Mothers against Bush and uses that for his "moral highground".
It would seem someone that was so firm in his beliefs of "fairness" would understand a man like Bolton.
Ohio, please remember 2005 and John Bolton in 2010.
I belive he'll be an indenpendent before then anyhow.
George E. Condon, journalist, author and historian, is a native of Fall River, Mass., sharing that distinction with Lizzie Borden, whose name, of course, is a prominent one in American crime annals. As a Plain Dealer reporter and historian, George has written about his adopted home for many years. In 1983 George V. Voinovich, mayor of Cleveland, issued a proclamation praising Condon as a "distinguished Clevelander and gentleman journalist." Cleveland has embraced George as one of its own. He now resides here in Lakewood and we are glad to have him.
Voinovich sticks to his conscience (FR Mention
I didn't know he had a conscience.
..what a "load" of Cr@p!
Sen. George Voinovich (D)
And will someone please repossess his RINO card, asap.
The important thing is to be popular with the left wing hacks who staff the Foggy Bottom bureaucracy and spend all day every day doing their best to undermine President Bush's foreign policy.
Unless his plane can't take off when he wants it too, even if Air Force One is in the airspace. Then I hear he can get quite testy.
Well. He is!
Hey, drama queen....if you can't take the heat, get the he!! out of the kitchen!
I thought his name was No-Good Backstabbing Sonovavich.
Hey, Voinovich...you set the standard...and we will hold you to it every day of your public life. --- Promise.
Gov. Short Fuse blew on Oct. 20 when federal rules delayed his plane's takeoff as the president arrived in Columbus.
As it often does when the president flies, the FAA issued a Temporary Flight Restriction, commonly referred to as a no-fly order.
When this order is in effect, no planes other than essential aircraft are cleared for takeoff. That reduces the chances of a terrorist staging a kamikaze attack on Air Force One.
The order kept the governor and his plane on the ground. And he was honked.
Gov. Voinovich called it "bull"-something and ordered his pilot to break the rules and take off. He even dared the control tower to "shoot us down." That, too, would have cost. One hour of flying time for an F-15 Eagle fighter jet runs $3,399 to $4,037.
The pilot followed orders and took off. The FAA responded by slapping the governor with a standard $1,500 fine.
******
Senator Voinovich has a short fuse problem himself.

I wonder if he has been to anger management. He sure seems to have a high opinion of himself.

In the MSM the difference between conscience that makes you principled and rigidity that makes you unwilling to "work with others" or "compromise" is defined only by whose side you're on.
