Top Ten List
Today it’s the top ten reasons That Corrupt Evicted Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Bought-and-paid-For Tax-and-Spend Wrinkle-Puss RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch told Jack Atherton “I am honest and above reproach” during her TV 5 interview on Wednesday: 10. I forgot 9. The dog ate it 8. She told me she loved me 7. I did it to help the homeless 6. The Devil made me do it 5. I just wanted to be loved–is there anything wrong with that? 4. I’m a Tea Party Republican 3. I was framed 2. This whole thing is just one big terrible mistake …and the Number One Reason That Corrupt Evicted Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Bought-and-paid-For Tax-and-Spend Wrinkle-Puss RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch told Jack Atherton “I am honest and above reproach” during her TV 5 interview on Wednesday is… the guys at Ohio Elections Commission and the House Ethics Committee said nobody would ever find out.
More Historical Perspective
Hurley the Historian On this date in 1801 after one tie vote in the Electoral College and 35 indecisive ballot votes in the House of Representatives, Vice President Thomas Jefferson was finally elected the third president of the United States over his vice-presidential running mate, Aaron Burr.- Whistleblower Presidential Scholar Patrick Maloney says what happened in 1801 was nothing less than miraculous. It was the first time in recorded history that one faction willingly and peaceably ceded power to another. What’s even more remarkable was Jefferson’s response. He could have used his power to attack his political rivals, but rather than this, he delivered one of the most conciliatory speeches in political history. March 4, 1801 just after noon, TJ delivered this famous line in his inaugural address, “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists, we are all Americans.”
Ever since, we have accepted this as commonplace, but it really is nothing short of a miracle. It happens this way every four years, but look at the rest of the world and it’s not the rule but the exception. What happened with the election of 1800 was a revolution with ballots, not bullets. It validated our experiment in self-government by showing that a people could rule themselves without resorting to force. It shows that while a majority rules in a democratic commercial republic, there is a corresponding respect for the rights of the political minority.
So how does that relate to today? Things in the Middle East right now prove just how miraculous this is. We have a democratically elected Islamist parliament in Egypt, a democratically elected Hamas in power in Gaza, an increasingly hostile and radicalized parliament in Turkey, and a strong Islamist faction in Libya. One man one vote one time is the rule and bloodshed will be the result.
Obama allowed the Iranian revolution to be crushed in the streets, the same can be said of the Syrians, and he leaves the only truly democratically elected government in the Arab world, Iraq, to the mercy of the mad mullahs in Iran, while ne now proposes scrapping U.S. nuclear weapons to fewer than the number China has. WTF!
More Politics As Usual
In Ohio, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says Rick Santorum was shown on top of a recent poll of 2012 Presidential contenders in Ohio, and Obama Supporters in the press are only too delighted to show a “Divided” Republican Party every chance they get. Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen how come they never show you poll results that Republicans’ are “United” in their goal to get rid of Obama?- In today’s “Daily Download,” our Conservative Political Potentate asks if Rick Santorum is just the flavor of the month or he is the Conservatives’ long awaited messiah who will be able to topple Romney in the race for the GOP crown and Obama in November.

- Republicans for Higher Taxes say they will start regularly posting some of the more comedic stories that they find. The story they posted last night should qualify. They believe these entries will compliment their usual items – supporting higher taxes and bigger government.
Related to that, Republicans for Higher Taxes tells us their endorsement in the 28th House District will be released by tomorrow morning.
- A local conservative blogger expands on an important item we covered yesterday – the Union Terminal building is owned by the City of Cincinnati, not Hamilton County. This blog is correctly defending the Hamilton County Commissioners for refusing to shoulder most or all of the burden of maintaining Cincinnati’s building.
- Isn’t it tragic that Tracy Winkler shut down her infamous blog? All three of her supporters must be crushed. Though it was indeed Tracy herself who ran it, the blog was so pathetic that Tracy’s critics were often asked if they ran the blog to make her look dumb. No, as is usually the case, nobody does a better job of making Tracy Winkler look stupid than Tracy Winkler herself.
Artis In Charge
- In today’s Racial Healing Moment during Black History Month, down at the City Hall Circus, according to the City Solicitor, it’s OK for SMLP Smithermouth (one of his bosses on Clown-cil) to be president of the Cincinnati NAALCP chapter and one of our Nine Fine Clowns at the same time. Award Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception says “Still unresolved is SMLP’s relationship with mercenary COAST Attorney Chris Finney.”
- Whistleblower Business Editor Merrill Forbes says when Cereal maker Kellogg Co. made a $2.7 billion deal to buy the Pringles brand from Procter & Gamble, Artis wondered how that deal might affect consumers.
- Meanwhile, over at The Fishwrap, the High Five’n White Guys are saying, “Just ’cause they’re scrappers doesn’t mean they’re thieves.”
Wednesday Night in Clermont County
The meeting of the Clermont Cronies in downtown Batavia had all the makings of a revival gone way wrong. Members of the Clermont County Central Committee were greeted with throngs of television cameras, spotlights and microphones in their faces asking them if they were willing to explain to the world on camera why they ever endorsed someone like Archie “The Pipe Layer” Wilson for public office. GOP Party Boss Tim “The Dudd” Rudd stood outside the party clubhouse directing GOP committee members not to talk to the press and told them “to get inside, sit in their damn seats and shut up.” On camera, Rudd told the reporters that when the central committee appointed Wilson, all they knew was that he was a recovering alcoholic with a really bad temper, and with those qualifications, why wouldn’t he be an ideal nominee? Rudd told his faithful that he personally interviewed all of Archie’s friends and employees at Midwestern Plumbing and none of them ever suggested that the Archster was the pill trading, prostitute loving criminal he has been exposed to be by Scary Gary Edmonson and the Kentucky State Police.
The Clermont meeting was opened by a thinly veiled prayer from one of the members that declared “we must remember that we are all guilty in the eyes of the Lord.” This set the tone for Rudd to stand up at the meeting and blame everything that Archie did on those who worked against him in the last election when party leaders ousted blustery former commissioner Scott Croswell.
Rudd spent the whole meeting peering out through the blinds at GOP headquarters hoping the cameras would go away as the reporters tried their best to get a glimpse of what was going on inside. A visibly shaken Rudd explained to members that he had to “close” the meeting to the public and throw out all of the GOP candidates and invited guests in order to avoid a Sunshine Law Violation, however, the violation occurred anyway. It was not until the end of the meeting that it was discovered that Clermont County Auditor Linda Fraley’s son had been permitted to sit in the meeting even though he was not an elected or appointed member of the Republican Central Committee at the time he was in the meeting. We’re sure it will not take Clermont County super lawyer Curt Hartman long to file a claim for that little oversight.
In Other Clermont County news, over at 700 WLW Hate Radio, the cronies are all talking about last Sunday’s radio showdown on Radio Hottie Lisa Wells’ talk program where Clermont County’s Portly Persecutor Don White and his scruffy faced public defender opponent Vince Faris sparred with each other. We’re told that the Radio Hottie offered to let the two go for Round 2 this weekend, but so far the scruffy faced one has failed to agree to do battle.
More About the Archie Wilson Case
Last week, one of our researchers wrote about the unsubstantiated charges against former Clermont County commissioner Archie Wilson, pointing out the oddities of accuser, jailed prostitute Amanda Lay, just happening to have a slip of paper in her blue two-piece jail uniform with Archie Wilson’s license plate number on it, or Kentucky motel clerk who also supposedly wrote down Wilson’s plate number and could somehow whip it out months later.
These aren’t the only supposed “facts” in this arranged case that stink to high heaven. Why did Kentucky police utilize so much time and personnel chasing down a guy for two alleged misdemeanors, based on the statement given by a jailed prostitute who hoped to receive special privileges in return for her statement? Secondly, why did Kentucky police set up a complicated “sting” on Wilson, based on the allegations from two known hookers?
Court documents describe Kentucky police luring Wilson to the USA Hotel in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, using a second prostitute, who was suggested by the original prostitute Lay. This second unnamed prostitute attempted to arrange a meeting between Wilson and an undercover female police officer who would pose as a prostitute. Wilson never met the undercover police officer, nor did he pay any money. Documents say Wilson gave the unnamed prostitute two Oxycontin tablets, based only on the word of that known prostitute, not on the word or knowledge of any police officer. On this flimsy basis, Wilson was charged with two misdemeanors.
We said it last week and we’ll say it again: it looks to us this case was arranged and set up by an individual who had ample funds and the personnel available to arrange this case and the tenacity to continue to push it forward over a period of months. Who had a grudge against Archie Wilson strong enough to orchestrate this vendetta against Wilson and was willing to ruin Wilson’s life because of this grudge?
We aren’t saying Wilson is an angel, far from it. We’re saying this whole criminal case reeks of a set up and a vendetta.
- And did you see Wednesday’s top front page story in the Forest Hills Urinal? They claimed “Forest Hills’ Levy is debated.” No kidding! There were 19 paragraphs, but only three had any discouraging words for that humongous tax hike so township property owners of $200,000 houses can pay $2,000-a-year to support the greedy teachers and administrators. The “Readers Views” page was just as fair-and-balanced. Two guest columns supporting the levy, one from the cutest little fifth grader you’ve ever seen from Wilson Elementary School. Also, there were four letters to the editor. Two supported the tax hike, one was against it, and one from an undecided wussie who said he needed more evidence.
Finally, at yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, everybody was excited about that pilot program being developed on CFK-TV at Anderson Community Television these days. They found out all about it on our CFK-TV Production Crew update. That idea for that program came from one of the YouTube auditions received at CFK-TV@whistleblower-newswire.com and is already scheduled for production and editing at Anderson Community Television.
Bluegrass Boudoirs
Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo is going ballistic this morning, seeing all our coverage of the Archie Wilson Sex for Drugs Scandal Story in our Buckeye section. Just wait till he sees this week’s Limerick Contest below.- Ken CamBoo said The Fishwrap reported Thursday that Money for three Northern Kentucky Trail Projects were among 38 in Kentucky sharing $1.8 million Federal Highway Administration grant to improve hiking, biking, horse riding, and other trails. The trails were located in Campbell County, Ludlow, and Maysville and Ken said the one thing missing from the article was the name of a politician who would take money from the lockbox to replace the Brent Spence Bridge and dispense it to build trails instead. Would those people responsible for this spending please stand up and be counted?
- In a related story Horny from Hebron wrote The Blower to say that most of his male friends who plan to vote for Trooper Babe Alicia Webb Edgington to replace Goof Doofus as our Congressman seem to be henpecked. The CamBoozler says maybe these guys are thinking with something other than their heart, if you know what we mean.
- Did a federal judge really dismiss another one of “Crazy Eric” Deters lawsuits this week? There are so many, they’re so hard to keep track of them. Somebody on that Cabal Out to Destroy Eric “Call Me Crazy,” Big Mouth, Most Sanctioned, Ambulance Chaser, No Count of a Radio Host, Shameless Self Promoter, Willie Wannabe, Why Haven’t I Been Disbarred, Who Likes Bulldogs and Failed Roadhouse Operator’ Deters, owes us an update.

No Such Thing As a Bad Lay
This week, everybody who can’t wait to see videos of Disgraced Former Clermont County Commissioner Archie Wilson’s whoring it up at the Skank Motel in Northern Kentucky, e-mailed entries to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.
Our winner is ousted former County Commissioner Scott Croswell, who says, “It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.”
Scott wins a complimentary Archie and Amanda Breakfast at Dummy’s in Batavia, because our Quote for Today Committee chose Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderios de LaClos’s “La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid,” which as every well-educated Whistleblower reader knows means, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Scott also wins an all expense paid trip to Mandalay, wherever the hell that is and a unanimous “do-over endorsement” from the Clermont County GOP for whatever office Scott wants to run for next time. His winning entry is:
A woman we’ll call Amanda Lay
Is a veteran at rolling in hay.
She’s got babies here and aliases there,
And her name is all over Archie’s underwear.
Arch – were you the predator or the prey?
And from the Anderson Laureate (who now knows why his poetic license is being revoked and now has something to tell the padre at this week’s confession):
A woman we’ll call “Amanda Lay”
Got a politician in trouble one day
But I can’t say it’s her fault,
Archie’s an adult
Old men who fool around will pay.
“Mandalay” is the old capitol of Burma
A far Eastern part of Terra Firma
That this girl would choose that name
To advertise her street walking game
Just gives me the urge to “squirm-a”
The first line of next week’s limerick is:
“This Month We Study Black History”
