The
Ohio Ethics Commission is once again considering charges against Bob
Taft for his failure to disclose gifts he has received while in office.
(source) Taft’s office is still disclosing newly discovered
unreported gifts weeks after his conviction on ethics violations.
It's rather unlikely that these new disclosures will result in further
criminal charges, though. It seems as though it was wisely
crafted into Taft's plea agreement that he can't be penalized for any
other unreported gifts. Talk about a sweet deal, huh?
No word on what the newly discovered gifts are, but I'm guessing we can
rule out the possibility that they are “brain support” supplements. I
mean, if "Focus Factor" works as well as the TV ads say, then a few of
those babies would surely help Governor Taft recall each and every one
of the free golf outings, sporting event tickets, fancy dinners and
teddy bears he has received since becoming Ohio's Chief
Executive....And he might even remember where all of our BWC money
is!
We can dare to dream, can't we?
