Yes. Great line. “Let’s all be professional now”. I thought they ran as professionals and now we have begin to act like it? No doubt I am no fan of Dann. His actions have proved that reservation correct. I said “I was sorry” just doesn’t sound right. Perhaps Taft should have done the same when it came to coin gate. At least I commend the Dems for doing what the Republicans sould have done while Taft was still in office. Their lack of action cost them. I beleive the Dems understand that if they don’t… they will all sink. An apparently Dann doesn’t car. And he’s our chief law guy? Great.

Pic and clip: Dispatch: In an e-mail sent to his entire staff last Friday, Dann said, “We have all endured a lot in the past few weeks and today, after Sen. Ben Espy issued his report, I stood up and took responsibility for the report’s findings, apologized for my mistakes, and made changes to ensure that the administration of this office better supports the great work you all are doing.”

More from the AP. Appears that Dann is the third such Dem in a high profile scandel just recently. One Dem spoke to me saying… “You mean just like the Republicans?” Like that is their excuse. I say clean house anytime you got this kind of stupidity in office regardless of who is in office.

Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland said Monday that Dann’s refusal to submit to the pressure — including a threat by the Ohio Democratic Party to revoke its endorsement — means Democrats will move forward to impeach him. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted said that his chamber, which takes the first step in any impeachment, was already reviewing the process.

“I think it’s important for Democrats to send a very clear message that we will clean our own house,” Strickland said. Democrats’ calls for Dann to resign were applauded by Republicans, adding a new twist to Strickland’s reputation for bipartisan cooperation.

Dann is the third high-ranking Democratic official around the country to be marred by sexual scandal in recent months.

There were several ways Dann could screw up this job. It appears he has found more than one.
