:-) I think we may even have an office in Columbus.

[TXnMA]

Guilty

[autumnraine]

Naturally when a man who looks like Joe the Plumber gets on TV and makes your candidate look bad because he’s worried about his money, you naturally assume he is behind on child support somewhere.

Disgusting filth.

[Ed Condon]

No doubt an-aide to the-assistant-deputy director to the- secretary spot at Health and Human Services will open up for her. (No Civil Service exam required)

There, fixed it.

[BeckB]

I wonder how much she was paid by Acorn. So the employee is fired. If a lot of money is given then it’s still a win situation for those breaking the law.

[TXnMA]

Is Ted Strickland really as stupid intelligent as this stupid declaration makes him appear to be?

[GOP_Lady]

Oh, I don't think so now:

[McGavin999]

"Given our understanding that Mr. Wurzelbacher had publicly indicated that he had the means to purchase a substantial business enterprise, ODJFS, consistent with past departmental practice, checked confidential databases ," she wrote.

So....in the new Obama America if you dream of someday owning your own business, if you are working toward a goal, best keep it to yourself or Big Brother will start running computer checks on you so they can take it way before you attain your goals.

[Balding_Eagle]

OK, I get it, you ARE an attorney, or work for a large law firm, or perhaps even play one on television? Hehe!

I say Go Get’em!

[GOP_Lady]

Indeed. I’m just a dummy hired by some very good and nice attorneys, and for which I’m very grateful (support staff). You got it, bud. :-)

[buccaneer81]

So the employee is fired.

The fired employee was a contractor at the Department of Insurance. Helen's department is still under the microscope.

[KoRn]

This is what we will have to look forward to if Hussein is elected.

Private citizens trashed by the powers of the government for questioning them. Years ago the media would have taken Joe’s side on something like this. Not this year.

Could you imagine the outcry if someone in the Bush administration had dug into the private life of a young black man that had questioned McCain? The outrage would have been unlike anything we have seen.

Since the parties and races are inconvenient for the left, this story will receive NO widespread attention at all....

[GOP_Lady]

The department has not responded to public-records requests to provide a copy of its policies concerning access to child-support information.

I'd like to know why they haven't responded.

[KoRn]

"If Obama wins, she’ll be rewarded by the party."

She'll get an ambassadorship to Singapore, or some such place.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Just to clarify here, she was not the employee who was fired, but the case is under investigation.

No, but she WAS the state goon (er, brown shirt. Rather, employee) who WAS covering up the results, and lying about the supposed “reasons” for the state investigation into Joe.

[Balding_Eagle]

You got it, bud. :-)

You betcha!

[Hulka]

My thoughts exactly. . .calling Joe the Plumber a “presidential campaign figure” is so wrong and so misleading and so typical of the media.

[Hulka]

Agreed.

[hyperconservative]

Maybe they’re still writing them...and then they’ll try to pull a Dan Blather/fake document thing on people. :)
