There has GOT to be more to this deal than meets the eye. Voinovich would not grandstand like this, cry and cross swords with the president and the Senate leadership unless there was something specific and personal here.
And it ain't because Bolton doesn't play well with the other kids.
Voinovich is putting some other interest in front of everything. If it is his Serb heritage, then it is borderline treason.
I was too young to remember anything about Voinovich being mayor, but I do remember that my Pop called him "George Sumabitch."
Looks like my old man was right. Again.
Whatever his problem is, he needs to fix it and fix it fast. Wobbly knees can be fixed, but stupidity is forever.
I asked myself the same question regarding his heritage. I have even emailed several of his aides but they do not respond. A former Ohioan FRer mentioned a corrupt mafia machine getting him into power. Here it is:
This man (Voinovich) is a RINO idiot.
He's also MOBBED-UP. His brother, (the contractor), is mobbed up, and George's first political campaigns were financed with then-Cleveland mob boss Pete Licavoli's and some of his successor Angelo Lonardo's money.
"He's a crook who got where he is today courtesy of the Cosa Nostra.
What was that Brando says about "Senator Corleone...Governor Corleone" in 'The Godfather'"

Do a FIND voinovich and locate the info on the contracts. He is the Republicans' answer to Nancy "no blink" Pelosi - mafia princess making her bones in congress.
