***Why is John McCain running pictures of himself that are thirty years old? We honor his service to our country, but he needs to focus on the future, not the past. ***Why is did Tom Brinkman, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, call Republican U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt a "lying b----"? TPMelectioncentral has even more about the battle between the two GOPers. Here is an excerpt from the posting:...

I'm not sure whether or not Mr. Brinkman realizes this, but a darned good way to ensure that no one is sympathetic to your cause is to call a woman a bitch. However, we're talking about deranged wingnut congresswoman Jean Schmidt, who is only five shades of eyeshadow away from pulling a full-on Michelle Bachmann. Perhaps in this case, he's using some other form of psychology to win over the voters...

Yesterday you may have read at TMP that a prominent Republican state Rep in Ohio, Tom Brinkman, has declared a real jihad against Mean Jean Schmidt. It goes beyond him calling her a "lying bitch." He insists she's a "despicable person," which most people who have had any contact with her would affirm, and that she would "sell her mother to promote herself." Pretty strong stuff, considering Reagan's...

Blue America has been working so long-- over 3 years now-- on helping Vic Wulsin get her message out, that I felt like I've know her forever. But last weekend I met her for the first time. Southern California liberal icons, Hilda Solis and Linda Sanchez, along with 9 other local congresswomen, threw a fundraiser for a diverse group of women congressional candidates-- from Blue America progressives...

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- Is there a connection between campaign contributions and access to a Cincinnati-area Ohio congresswoman and the U.S. House of Representatives? The text of Jean Schmidt's May 22 remarks for a national holiday in Turkey, which she called a "very significant day," are as follows: "SPEECH OF HON. JEAN SCHMIDT OF OHIO IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2008 Mrs. SCHMIDT....

If dollars were votes, Democrat Victoria Wulsin would best Rep. Jean Schmidt in the November re-match election — but just barely.

Our good friend Bill Sloat has a top ten list up in which he excoriates Rep. Jean Schmidt for sponsoring a Senate bill... Okay, she sponsored the House version of the same bill, but the link he provides is for the Senate version. BUT, while he was playing politics with Jean Schmidt, his own slip was showing because he forgot to check out who sponsored the number one goofy bill... Ohio Democrat Sherrod...

TOLEDO (TDB) -- For some reason, Dennis Kucinich's effort to impeach President Bush didn't make the cut. But Jean Schmidt's effort to honor the watermelon is on the list of the top 10 Congressional resolutions (sarcasm alert) of the 110th Congress . The list was compiled by Taxpayers for Common Sense. Republicans and Democrats alike sponsored and signed on to some pretty silly measures, and you can...

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- House Republican leader John Boehner has a new angle on U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt's false claim that the Chinese are drilling for oil off the coast of Florida. Boehner contends in a column published today in a Cincinnati magazine "China and Cuba, for example, are actively exploring deep ocean fields just 50 miles off the coast of the Floirda Keys." But hard data to support Boehner's...

Yes we have a problem here, you're blocking my view and trying to intimidate me. I guess Mean Jean Schmidt just isn't much for freedom of the press.
