Ohio Sen. George Voinovich's stand against the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has taken an emotional toll. As he took his courageous stand in the well of the Senate, the thought of leaving the fate of his children and grandchildren -- and yours -- in the hands of such a mean man nearly overcame him.
Sen. George Voinovich CARES.
He cares so much it HURTS.
Sometimes it hurts so much, he CRIES.
As his constituents, we feel duty-bound to repay our senator's loyalty to us -- his care for us -- his LOVE for us. And, yes, for the "world community."
But we can't do it alone, nor should we. You owe Sen. George no less a debt of gratitude than we do. Fortunately, there IS a way to repay him. It's practical. It's responsible. And it shows how much you CARE.
You can help Sen. George wipe away his tears for little more than the cost of a postage stamp. Simply enclose an facial tissue in an envelope and send it to the senator. (Please, clean, unused tissues only.) It will take a lot of tissues to get this job done, but if each person who CARES will contribute just one, well, Sen. George will weep for joy.
Send your compassionate contribution to:
Hon. George V. Voinovich
524 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington D.C. 20510
OR
Hon. George V. Voinovich
37 West Broad Street, Room 310
Columbus, OH 43215

I apologize to the nation for Barbara Boxer.
lol
I'm sorry, but an apology just isn't enough.
on my butt.
How utterly humiliating. Ridicule like this could send him over the edge.
Perhaps this will teach him to grow some thick skin.
"Butt .... whyyyyy .... per"
bttt
Or a travel size "No More Tears" baby shampoo.
My first thoughts were that the man is clearly on some strong meds.
Mature educated men do not cry on the Senate floor.
I think I'll send him some Puffs. "Because each Puffs tissue is made with tiny enchanted pillows to comfort your sorest nose." I'm sure George's nose must be very sore indeed by now.
I dunno about blackmail but his behavior on this nomination is extremely odd. He says nothing to indicate the possibility he'd withhold support, misses the pertinent hearings, then backstabs Lugar (and Bush and Frist) by suddenly announcing concerns. All of which are the mere "talking points"; nothing new about them.
It isn't INconsistent with the way someone whom a blackmailer visited a day or two before the committee vote was to have taken place, that's true.
