It Ought To Be An Automatic Disqualification

Josh Mandel -- enter his name in the Buster's Blog search window if you need to know how I really feel about this unqualified little shit-heel liar.  He was somehow elected State Treasurer in 2010, and immediately began his unsuccessful 2012 campaign for the U.S. Senate.  Now he's trying for another term as Treasurer.

His new TV ad is full of the same manipulative truthiness that marked his prior campaigns, but this adds a new twist.  It seems to show a Cleveland Plain Dealer headline stating that Joshie-Boy has kept Ohio's finances "safe and in order."  The four words are actually an out-of-context excerpt taken from a Plain Dealer editorial endorsing Mandel's opponent, Connie Pillich!

That's hilariously pathetic.  Who's bright idea was that?  When you're that desperate, that low, when there is so little to recommend you that you try to spin your opponent's endorsement into an ad for yourself, it ought to be an automatic disqualification from holding any elective office.
