Hugh Hewitt: John Podhoretz, your reaction to that little bit of drama {Sound bite of Voinovich crying }.
[Interview]
- Order your pilot to defy a Presidential security no-fly zone.
- Personally challenge an Air Traffic Controller to "shot me down".
- Be required to pay a $20,000 fine for interference.
- Then try to disqualify a patriotic American based on temperament and make a crying show of your "conviction".
Can't the people of Ohio recall this nut-case?
is there something seriously wrong with Voinovich? I mean really, the guy tears up at a confirmation hearing, misses the hearings on Bolton;
He wasn't in a crying mood that day. Not his time of the month.
I saw him this morning on FNC, and couldn't wait to see what folks on the FR were saying about it! Somebody call the man a waaaambulance.
Or Hillary throwing things at the President of the United States - for heavens sake! Besides other assorted actions Hillary has publically imposed on those beneath her.
'Can't the people of Ohio recall this nut-case?'
You are presuming that the same state who elected Voinovich as Governor TWO times, and unfortunately has to claim Kuchinich, is going to do anything that makes sense.
Sometimes I think that this state has multiple personality disorder. The personalities certainly seem to be in disorder a lot of the time.
Hello Ohio...here is the deal...you recall Sissy boy and we will have the NCAA look the other way on OSU football violations.
What an absolutely disgusting display. Is he being blackmailed? Is he losing his mind?
I think when Voinovich finally focused on Bolton last month, he thought he could get some mileage out of being a principled contrarian (or his idea of one). Then he kept on the same tack and began to get more and more criticism from the people who have supported him. Then he could give up because, by god, he was right. It's just a case of digging a bigger and bigger hole. After having his original cranky and stupid moment he should have just dropped the whole thing.
Very nicely put.
I know we are discussing a George "V" Voinovich who,

Here is more on Hollingsworth (Sen Voinovich's former Chief of Staff) who works for a company associated with VND and who seems to be an officer for VND
The United States Enrichment Corp., a company that enriches uranium for use in nuclear power plants, has hired the firm Compass Consulting Group to track energy-policy developments in Congress. The lobbyists working the account include Ted Hollingsworth, a former chief of staff to Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio).
Voinovich is irrational, weepy, and probably retaining water. He is in desperate need of a super strength Midol.
Remember that line of Tom Hanks' in "A League of Their Own"?
"There's no crying in baseball!"
Voino needs to be told;
"There's no crying in a confirmation hearing! No Crying!"
Such whimpering about his children and grandchildren has no relation to the issue at hand whatsoever! and it set him apart as a very scary person. My wife was listening to it on The Laura Ingraham Show and Voino turned her off badly (and honestly, she's usually fooled by these lame theatrical types)
???? Weird! How did my post go back in time???
What does Voinovich have to do with the Cowboys? ;)
