Jimmy Dimora Jumps the Shark

Today, Jimmy Dimora went on the attack. No, actually, Jimmy Dimora jumped the shark. In an episode of epic proportion, one that in my many years I have never seen, Jimmy Dimora attacked everybody – his accusers, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Plain Dealer, the Republican Party (local and national) and he blamed Bush, Gonzales, Rove and the Right Wing Conspiracy. Today proved that when cornered, a wounded animal is the most dangerous.

I think that Dimora was hoping that by calling for an investigation by the US Attorney and Congress that the Obama Administration and Cong. Kucinich would come to his defense. It appears that the office of the President doesn’t know a Jimmy Dimora; and Cong. Kuncinich, who has the power to convene such an investigation as Chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform won’t. As of the 11:00pm newscasts, the Congressman has no comment on the Commissioner’s request for a federal investigation. I’m guessing Jimmy in no longer “the backbone of the Democratic Party in Ohio”. Either that or the good Congressman has lost his. I know it’s not the later.

Once the full video is available, we will post it here. In the mean time, watch the WKYC report below:



And, I thought that Thursday’s 20+ minute rant by Dimora was his pitch to make himself ‘the victim’, a ‘martyr’ even. Watch it here.

Here’s a couple of parting thoughts:

Who paid for today’s overtime? Jimmy’s presser was after 5:00pm.
Is Dimora’s defense going to be that he works within the system and it’s the system that’s corrupt?
What other politicians in the “Great Lakes Region” are being investigated? Detroit? Detroit again? Or maybe Chicago? Or Chicago again?
