Dennis Willard, a lefty columnist and reporter for the Akron Beacon Urinal, has written many silly things in his pathetic, meaningless career.

And in this election cycle, he has taken Democrat marching orders in portraying John Kasich’s success and business acumen as essentially being responsible for the collapse of the entire American economy. In addition, he gently excused the insidious politics behind Ted Strickland’s political decision to appoint an unqualified jurist- Eric Brown- to take over and besmirch the position once held by Chief Justice Moyer. He has been a stenographer for Ohio House Speaker Armond Budish by ignoring the serious, uphill fight Democrats face in maintaining their razor-thin majority.

And has a true liberal, Willard loves taxes so much that he called Ted Strickland’s sloppy efforts to avoid tax increases as paranoid and irresponsible:

Voinovich immediately understood that the court’s ruling last week placed a 90-day moratorium on Strickland’s plan to raise $933 million from slot revenues. If LetOhioVote.org collects enough signatures, then the slot plan would be on ice until voters decide up or down in November 2010.

Ohio has a huge hole in its budget, so Voinovich enthusiastically suggested that a tax increase was the correct public policy step to take at this time.

Strickland’s reaction demonstrates the governor’s inability to seize an opportunity.

The governor called Voinovich’s reaction ”immature.”

Now, Voinovich is a lot of things, good and bad, but he is not immature.

You do not survive in the rough and tumble politics of Cleveland as mayor for 10 years if you are ”immature.”

Nor do you rule over the Statehouse for eight years as governor or serve 12 years in the U.S. Senate, including time as a member of the majority party (something Strickland never did in the U.S. House), if you are ”immature.”

Strickland’s thin skin and paranoia dictated his undignified response.

It is true that the governor’s party has been labeled tax-happy in one negative political commercial after another for more than 20 years, so Democrats have come to believe the only way to win elections is to avoid raising taxes.

But this fear and loathing has gone too far.

It is not only paranoid, but also politically inept, to mistake Voinovich’s call for a tax increase as some kind of a setup — a move, some suggested, designed to help put fellow Republican John Kasich in the governor’s mansion.

More than that, and getting back to the theme here, it was a missed opportunity for Strickland.

But apparently, this didn’t hurt Willard during his job interview for his new employer: The Ohio Democratic Party. With the decline of print journalism, reporters are quick to suck up to the Democrat-controlled political establishment looking for lucrative jobs. We saw this in 2006 with how Plain Dealer reporter Ted Wendling took  a job with the administration immediately after spending more than a year covering the gubenitorial campaign. And there was, of course, Sandy Theis, who took a corrupt Speaker of the Ohio Larry Householder to the wood shed with wild accusations, only to find herself in a position to charge absorbent fees from Democrats in order to keep the smears coming.

And this is why people don’t trust newspapers. There is no such thing as an unbiased reporter, and Willard is showing how hard work shilling for liberalism can be profitable.

Dennis Willard is a hack and a shill for the political machine. He is a disgrace to the reporting profession and should be ashamed of himself. Dennis, you are a loser.

Apparently he never went inside, but he was roaming around the parking lot and people were recognizing this squirrely bastard from my blog. It was quite warm out today, so he did not wear his infamous trenchcoat.

As you can see, he was busy on his phone, perhaps talking to Chris Redfern as he and Kim are at home lying naked on a giant pile of lobbying cash.

Instead of just just having a BlackBerry to record audio from, he had a camcorder this time… and was perhaps waiting for me?:

See previous posts on this douchebag here, here, here, and here.

So what’s going on here? He is literally being stopped dead in his tracks everywhere he goes, so why can’t the ODP and whatever outside organization is funding this guy find someone new? Perhaps they could find one person who can go to a casual event, quietly eat chicken, and not be a nervous, sweaty mess?

I live in Franklin County but was quite busy and could not attend. But all day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how fun it would be to give him a swirly or perhaps conduct an experiment to see if a human body could literally bounce off of parking lot pavement.

This spy is cruisin’ for a bruisin’, and I’m ready to use ALL the kick-ass moves I learned from this fantastic movie!:

Here is the Ohio Democrat Party’s latest fundraising email:

Chris and I have been friends for a long time, but our relationship turned rocky last year and he called me out by name during a press conference.

But, being the gracious gentleman that I am, in my mailbox I have an envelop addressed to Chris Redfern. Enclosed is the amount he requested.
