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.

Id like to see Republican elected officials stay out of this one and let the Democrats take care of it.
The last thing I want is to have someone in office who has sex.
