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?

6 "Guy Foods" That Are Good for You

Special thanks to the sharp eyes of one Ron Jawarski, aka Tommy Callahan, for sharing the following story.

Let it be know that the following Guy Foods are listed, in no particular order:
Pasta (with a nice meat sauce?)
Steak (That's what I've been saying for years!)
Potatoes (Is it to much to ask that they be fried too?)
Chilli (FLOTUS makes the BEST! Period. And theirs a pot in the fridge as I type.)
Chocolate (good on ice cream, too)
Alcohol (Oh yeah!)

Don't Cry for me Argentina!

Sanford to resign as head of RGA. He should step down as Gov too.

What a disappointment! And to run off on his wife and kids - on FATHER'S DAY!!

Bonus points if you can find the pig in this picture.

For when SteakMatters doesn't break it, follow the County in(dictments) Crisis here.

Finally…

Well the indictments are now starting to roll out. 3 down, how many more to come?

PO1? PO2?

From the ‘Don’t answer your phone if the number starts with 216-999….’: Mayor Dean DiPiero was driving in the car when reached by the PD. He said he was driving from Mansfield and after dropping an F-bomb as the Our Lord and Saviour's middle, he stopped talking and couldn't comment further until he read the indictment.

Mayor, are you sure you’re not driving to Mansfield?
