Dang; missed again.

Mayor Coleman's spokesman Greg Hass did not blame the blogs for his recent Glenn Beck radio show debacle. Shoot, that we means we aren't doing our job properly. Hass instead blamed Blackwell's groupies, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, for causing the controversy so that Blackwell can get re-elected.

In a preview of the 2006 election campaign (Coleman motto: Blame Blackwell for every problem in Ohio), Mayor Coleman blames Blackwell for the Glenn Beck radio show debacle that caused him so much embarassment. Beck made a flat out denial, saying, "No, Blackwell did not bring this to my attention... This is about the children. Clean up the school district."

Blackwell's spokesman, Carlo LoParo, described the remarks as "ridiculous and offensive."
