Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann said he is "disappointed" and "heartbroken" over his behavior and took full responsibility. But he refused to resign.

The ensuing scandal first reported by The Dispatch last month cost four people their jobs, including two of Dann's closest friends from Youngstown.

Shaken but still defiant, Dann, a Democrat elected in 2006, said he would not resign -- and said he never considered doing so -- despite the expanding fallout from a sex scandal that has rocked his office for the past month.

Probably another one of those ‘RAT “new direction” things they promised us before the last election.

We just weren't listening closely enough.

While we thought that they were promising us a "New Direction" it turns out they were promising a "Nude Erection."

“The ensuing scandal first reported by The Dispatch last month cost four people their jobs”

They fell on his sword after falling on his “Little Head”?

They left because of his shaft?

He shafted them?

He did not have sex with that woman - sorry, I guess that one was already used!

Please chime in; there are so many places one could go with this!

He should resign... and go to Detroit. I hear the Mayor's office is due to be vacant soon!

Isn’t Strickland busy arranging to sell pardons to the sickos he used to counsel in the State pen?

Sometimes I think Clinton was only in it for the chicks.

Funny, I always have and always will think that Bill Clinton is queer. All you have to do is look at the way he points that index finger on his left hand - queer as a $3 Bill. He just chases the skirts as a cover!

How odd that the phrase “culture of corruption” is absent from the news accounts.....

[chadwimc]

Given the state of Ohio’s Republican Party, at least Dann likes women...

[darkangel82]

Are you saying they have a “wide stance” problem?

[nuke rocketeer]

Looks like the ones in Ohio are doing as well as those here in Illinoisy....

"When interviewed for the sexual harassment investigation conducted by assistant attorneys general, Dann said Utovich stayed overnight at the apartment for reasons he would not discuss. During her interview, Utovich would not say whether she ever stayed overnight at the apartment, where Dann stayed while working away from his home in northeast Ohio."

The Ohio Attorney General refused to answer some questions from investigators. Resign.
