Every now and then my Google news alert emails will pull up something absurd. Today is no exception. I've seen this one before; but when it came up again, I decided to fire back...Here is the piece:
Here in Butler County, Ohio, we are plagued with GOP scandals also. Just today we had this happen:My reply:A Butler County official pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor crime.Mosketti is a Republican and you can still view her profile on the county treasurer's website.
Former county treasurer Carole Mosketti avoided jail time for her conviction on a conflict-of-interest charge, a judge fined her $1,000 and ordered her to pay $3,800 in restitution.
Mosketti was also ordered to resign from her elected position, which she did.
She has been under investigation by the state since last summer, when she hired her granddaughter to work for her.
Her position has not yet been filled.
I know other towns have the same problems with Democrats and Republicans alike, but things have been really bad here. There has been a lot of shake up lately in our Republican controlled county, with numerous officials resigning or being fired. It should also be worth mentioning that this county is also the home to the House Minority Leader, John Boehner.

BONUS QUESTION: What does our representative to the United States House of Representatives have to do with county government?
ANSWER: It doesn't. Jamie is engaging in what we like to call a smear campaign using a tactic called guilt by association. That means that every Democrat has cold cash in their freezers like William Jefferson...
Nice try...
