State Rep Mecklenborg likely arrested with a stripper

If he was a public school teacher, he would have lost his job by now.  Which profession protects bad employees again?

Is there a Mrs. Mecklenborg?  Does Burger King actually serve viagra shakes?  What is a repub critter doing with a stripper if that was the case?  And aren’t ya just so happy kasich is bringing all this casino action to Ohio?  Just look at the criminal windfall it will bring to this wonderful state.  Dang!  I’m choking on my tongue.

Is this another “Family Values” Republican?

EVERY GOP should be demanding his resignation. If not, it fair game to use that against those up for re-election in 2012

Why would the Dispatch report this? They are up the GOP’s a@@.

To be fair, Kasich didn’t bring casinos to Ohio. 

Yes he is married with kids.  Want to take bets that the Viagra was paid for with public funds and that mecklborg doesn’t support BC being paid with public funds?

No did he bring strippers.  What is your point?

That is true.  The voters did.  He actually appeared to be doing a good job of discouraging it in his own way.

Love those Repub family values!

It’s cynics like you guys who are ruining politics in America, with your nasty suspicions.

He probably has a bad back and needed her along to carry his luggage if he happened to have some.  Or, if he happened to get a flat ’cause the viagra hasn’t kicked in, she could have re-inflated him.

Besides, he was just doing his Christian duty and trying to save her wicked soul….

If you guys had any compassion, like Republicans did in the Bush days, you wouldn’t be trying to ruin his career with innuendos of seamy exploits when there are perfectly innocent explanations.

+1,000 Internets for sarcasm of the day. Congrats!

Doubtful… teachers are put on administrative leave pending an investigation into wrongdoing. I don’t believe there’s much investigating that needs to be done here. Not only would the teacher have lost his job, he would have most likely lost his teaching license, too.

I can’t find ONE report of this anywhere online, except here at Plunderbund, so how much do you suppose he paid (or was paid) to keep this hush-hush? It happened more than two months ago, and we’re just now hearing about it? If this were a teacher, it would have been splashed all over the papers, even making the national news, the very next morning.

Teachers are being fired left and right for things that aren’t necessarily illegal, but morally suspect. Drunk driving, temporary out-of-state license plates, AND a hooker in your car? The teacher would be hung from the highest tree.

This moron gets to carry on, business as usual, telling other people what’s right and wrong about they way they live their lives?

It was only reported in the Cinci enquirer, a Cinci TV outlet, and the Coshocton paper — all yesterday. It hasn’t made statewide news yet.
 

Not illegal, but entirely hypocritically for someone who wants government to make women’s reproductive choices – basically governing their sex lives. And how does taking Viagra and bucketing around in the middle of the night with a woman half your age and not your wife square with the family values Mecklenborg purports to subscribe to? Those are the important issues – not whether it was illegal. It wasn’t illegal for Anthony Weiner to send suggestive photos of himself to people either.

Mecklenborg will not resign. He will go to “rehab” and repent for his sins.

What is curious is whether Speaker Batchelder knew about the arrest. Would the Speaker have allowed Mecklenborg to give a floor speech on the “heartbeat bill” if he had known about it?

I really don’t care what politicians, Democrats or Republicans do in their spare time, so long as it’s not illegal. But I do have two major issues with Mecklenborg: first, his BAC was  allegedly .094. If this is correct, he has no right to put anyone’s life at risk by drunk driving. Second, it’s ok for him to use Viagra, but I can’t control what I do with my reproductive organs? Umm, hypocritical much? Us Democrats, we sometimes do stupid things (example: Anthony Weiner), but we typically don’t spout off about how moral we are and how we would never sin or do something illegal, unethical, etc.  That’s the problem here.

If Mecklenborg was a Democrat, this would be all over the news. Hopefully I’m wrong about that, but one would think that especially after his floor speech & Plunderbund’s coverage, one of the major news outlets would dig deeper into this.

Marc Dann deserved to be tossed overboard.

The single vote that I regret from nearly 40 years of voting is voting for Marc Dann instead of Betty Montgomery.  She maybe a Republican, but she was really good as AG. I’ll never forget him standing outside at 30 W. Spring while announcing his candidacy for AG and saying that all the employees in the building behind him were corrupt and stealing from Ohio’s employers.

Actually, Fred, if you look at the archives of BuckeyeStateBlog (where I was writing at the time), you’d find that I was the first to make the legal case for Dann’s impeachment if he didn’t resign.  I also was the first to publicly call for the sacking of Helen Jones-Kelley over the Joe the Plumber snooping, as well as Frankie Coleman.

So, how about you actually bother to do some research in what a person’s done in the past before you falsely accuse them of hypocrisy they’ve never committed?

Can you PLEASE call for the impeachment of the Goobernor, too? You seem to have a pretty good record…

Maybe she’s his niece and he was taking her from her job as coat check girl at the strip club over to the casino to her second job as a gambling-addiction counselor, and he was going to stop by the 24-hour auto parts store to get a new bulb for that pesky headlight, but she got a hankerin’ for some chicken fries and a frozen Coke, so he was planning to stop by Burger King anyway, and just happened to get pulled over… oh snap!

The same prescription plan that ever single state employee has.  Good point?
