Marc Dann Keeps Rep. Tubbs Jones Happy by Hiring Her Son… And Makes Vulgar & Offensive Religious Jokes
From the Dayton Daily News:
COLUMBUS — Mervyn Jones II had trouble getting his start date as a $10-an-hour intern with Attorney General Marc Dann’s Cleveland office this year.
No problem. The 6-foot, 5-inch tight end for Hiram College got help from his mom, U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. “I just got a call from an irate Congresswoman who wants to know when her son is starting his job. Can we get a quick answer from Columbus so we can get moving on this,” wrote Ed Kraus, co-director of Dann’s Cleveland office.
When Jones had trouble getting his first paycheck, Dann knew about it. “He emailed me that he got his check on Saturday,” Dann wrote his chief of staff, chief operating officer and first assistant attorney general a few days later. “Thanks.”[…]
The e-mails show:
• Dann was furious with an agent for the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and his supervisor for sending a critical letter to Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck, a fellow Democrat. “Have the (expletive) apologized to matt heck yet?” Dann wrote in an e-mail.
• Jennings commented in an e-mail to Dann about a draft of a speech Dann was to give to the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers: “This is a total bj for the trial lawyers,” he wrote.
• Dann, who is Jewish, e-mailed Jennings on April 6 about an editorial that ran in his hometown paper, The (Youngstown) Vindicator: “Bentley said there are six nasty posts after the Vindy editorial. All about you,” he wrote. “Jesus had it better on good friday.”
And I suppose going after charter schools is a “bj” to the teacher unions? And I guess that Dann’s efforts to legislate from the executive branch against the lending industry is a “bj” to himself for his own dreams of becoming Ohio Governor?
In other news, Marc Dann’s spokesbabe Jennifer Brandisi has left Dann’s office. (She must be the first person to leave Dann’s office under normal circumstances… unlike other employees who left after the media discovered they lied on their resume, killed someone, or was still on the payroll for the Youngstown police department.) I was at the AG’s office on Friday to request a number of records and I wanted to say goodbye to her… but she is already in London, England! My cold, conservative heart is broken!
Way to go, Mervin Jones II!
You have to use your connections to get ahead these days. Taking advantage of the high position of your parents is particularly crucial.
Seriously, though, I hope Mervin does well and has a successful career in the legal profession.
Cheers

Wow, this is off topic, but I love the new look.
Thanks Scott- I have an artist friend helping me with a new banner with randomly loading scenes from Ohio… But the font on the old template was driving me crazy so I went ahead and changed the css.
[…] a hothead and possible religious bigot. He was caught on tape recently cursing a reporter and intercepted emails show he doesn’t appear to have much respect for […]
Dann, should be forced to resign for his religious intolerance. Had these remarks been made about the jewish religion every ABC group they have would be screaming. As Attorney General, is he not supposed to protect our rights against religious hate speech, such as his own?
I would only expect, but I doubt, that all Ohio’s 88 county republican parties will issue statements condeming Dann. The Ohio GOP should be doing the same. Our party and ALL the Christian voters should force the democrats to be accountable for dipshit Dann’s murmurings. Rev. Strickland should also be questioned about how he feels about Dann’s offensive statements.
This is the typical liberal democrat double standard when it comes to tolerance and their version of “Selective Free Speech.”
Had an elected official said…. ” We need a jew to be in charge of the oil in our country, only a Jew can squeeze 8 days out of one days supply of oil,” I could only imagine the outrage that would be expressed.
