Yep. George was Mayor of Cleveland for 8 years. And you don't get to be anything in Cuyahoga county without the Dems help.

[Sen. George Voinovich, a former governor of Ohio, is a courageous legislator for opposing the nomination of John Bolton to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He concluded that Bolton is not the man for the job and urged his fellow senators earlier this week to reject the nominee.]

Helen Thomas is a pathetic liberal feminist quack who to this day can not see what is wrong with the United Nations and Kofi Anan and the billions of stolon dollars in the oil for food program but has no problem attacking the solution to the desperate evil of the U.N., John Bolton is the man necessary to keep the thieves in line.

Let him commit political suicide. The man is unstable. Crying, what an idiot. He must be a closet liberal. They cry like fools all the time.

There is nothing courageous about a man crying like a child. That is a sign of temerity. It is just how left-wingers like their men--prone to extravagant displays of feeling rather than taking the time to order their thoughts and feelings through reasoned argument, both with themselves and others.

As Arnold would say, he's a girlie man.

The only Profile in Courage I see here is the photographer who took that picture of helen. It takes a lot of guts to stand behind the camera and give the "say cheese" request, knowing that mouth is about to open and those teeth are gonna be bared.

I am in no position to judge his medical condition...but his comments do seem to be based on a lot of assumptions.

Voinovich on TV appeared to be mentally disturbed, not in control of himself. He certainly did not make a rational case against Bolton, who would make a great UN Ambassador.

Someone ought to contact his doctor and his family to see if an intervention is in order after his strange behavior of late. Perhaps taking him to a sanitarium for an extended rest might be in order...before the Bolton vote, of course.

When he popped up that day in committee after being absent to screw up the vote on Bolton, I started to wonder what he was up to. Then the day they did vote, he didn't just vote, but trashed Bolton and said he would vote against him on the floor. That was the day I asked my husband why Voinovich would not want Bolton at the UN just like most of the Democrats who can't afford for someone like him to see what is really going on there. After that whining and nearly blubbering speech today, I'm convinced that Bolton, if confirmed, is going to be in a position to expose Voinovich or someone he is beholden to. That pathetic display he put on today was not because he thought Bolton was the wrong man to be our UN ambassador. There is something more personal involved here. Was he somehow involved in the O f F scandal?

He wasn't a particularly good Governor either.

Ohio has problems lately producing viable Republican candidates.

reelect him if you choose, but never call him principled in my company.

after being absent

That bothered me too. Voinovich is chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee and on the Foreign Relations Committee. So who knows what his motivations were. But a Republican in Ohio needs the Dems to get elected, especially Cuyohoga county.

I just heard Voinovich on the radio. He sounded like he was CRYING (literally).

He did that once while he was governor. As I recall, he cried when he met with a group of people at the State House protesting welfare cuts.

There could be something going on. The dems probably have something on him. You know how dems work with FBI files.

Probably have something on McCain's houseboy, Graham as well.

Yep. She probably had a file on Lindsey Graham, his drinking, and his secret lover too.

Voinovich is a micro manager and not a big picture individual. He missed his calling; he should have been a green eye-shade bookkeeper.

I think Voinovich is on the edge of a nervous break down. He was crying on the Senate floor today.

" Voinovich on TV appeared to be mentally disturbed, not in control of himself."

Fortunately, I did not see this maroon blubbering on tv-listening to him on the radio was revolting enough.
Weeping George sounded like a Desperate Senator with PMS.

My sentiments,exactly.To paraphrase the Bard himself: "Methinks the a**hole doth protest too much". I think he may be afraid that he and many others were on the take from Mr Hussein. Bonior, McDermott and Crazy Maddy the Bag Lady leap to mind.
