good. this may not have been directly a result of her illegal (I presume) background check on joe the plumber, but I have not doubt that it came to light because of the exposure given to her reprehensible state sponsored witch hunt. nothing against our members from ohio, but that is one messed up state.
Strickland suspends state Cabinet official
COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland late Friday placed Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelly on paid administrative leave for allegedly using a state computer or e-mail account to engage in political fund-raising.
“I have asked Inspector General Tom Charles to include this matter in his current, ongoing investigation,’’ said Mr. Strickland. “Also, I have asked Cabinet Secretary Jan Allen to serve as acting director of the agency.’’
Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said the governor learned of the latest problem Friday.
Mr. Charles was already looking into reports that ODJFS, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and other government offices may have used state computers to examine the records of Samuel “Joe the Plumber’’ Wurzelbacher of Springfield Township after he became a high-profile critic of Barack Obama’s tax policies.
A number of state officials had called for the governor to act in the wake of Ms. Kelly’s admission that she had ordered a review of state records after Mr. Wurzelbacher became a national celebrity.
She presented the search as routine in situations where someone appears to have come into money, but a number of Republican officials characterized it as political witch hunt after “Joe the Plumber’’ became a factor in John McCain’s failed presidential campaign.

Because their lordships and ladyships aren't subject to "perp walks". That's for keeping the little people in line.
