I wonder if there is something going on with Voinovich. He sure got emotional on the Senate floor, and expressed concern for his grandchildren. I wonder if he has some personal issues that would cause him to take on this cause.
I'm thinking of personal issues as in the Dems have got some "pictures" of him or personal issues as in he had testicles removed. What were you thinking?
He was balling like a guy on about the 366th day on a multi-million dollar lottery ticket he bought a year ago but couldn't find. It was odd.
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?
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.
Take it from a lifelong Clevelander - this is nothing new for Voinovich.
He's been crying publicly at various times since he was mayor here.
He credits his emotionalism on his Slavic upbringing.
