Why did Sen. George Voinovich take such a strong slap at Gov. Ted Strickland on the slot machine issue? Health care.

Voinovich – the Artful Dodger – is dodging another issue that could help millions of Americans and break the hold of big insurance over our health care.

Of course, Voinovich and his family have had government health care for more than 40 years.

But he doesn’t want others to have it.

Why?

Because he’s been a shill for wealth and corporate interests for every one of those 40 years.

Is he going to get away with being an Artful Dodger on the most  important legislation in decades? I guess he will. He has the protection of the Pee Dee, wealthy contributors and he’s not running for re-election.

George Voinovich has been one of the worse public officials during my years covering politics in Cleveland.

And he's fooling the Cleveland public again.
