Note to Gov. Strickland

When you're trying to get out of a hole, it's a good idea to stop digging...

The latest from the Columbus Dispatch on RefugeeGate:

The Senate also introduced a resolution expressing support for the effort to assist Iraqi refugees. The move comes just days after Strickland endured heavy criticism for suggesting that Ohio shouldn’t have to accept Iraqi refugees allowed into the country.

Strickland has since said he should have chosen his words more carefully, saying they stemmed from his frustration about the war and Bush’s response to the refugee crisis. He said the refugees are welcome in Ohio, but he is tired of answering questions about it.

"This story has gone on for several days, almost as long as Anna Nicole Smith’s death and burial has gone on or Britney Spears’ bald head has occupied time and attention," he said.

Comparing Iraqi refugees to pop icons is terribly insensitive...but that's what we've come to expect from Gov. Tax...
