Ohio... forget What's the Matter with Kansas? What in the nine hells is wrong with fscking Ohio!...
Did the GOP just finally run out of enough warm bodies to throw into the mill, or was this OH 2nd race the one no one wanted, and they just tapped this poor schmuck Schmidt who arrived last to the meeting...
To bring everyone completely up to date would be tough for me right now. I would say the best blogging on this is taking place at Atrios' place and Lindsey Beyernstein at Majikthise.
But the upshot is that the GOP has managed to pry yet another pathological liar out from under their rock just long enough to be blasted with the harsh light of truth. But more importantly (and there will be more to this story...) a name keeps coming up in many places associated with Schmidt, Noe and Taft...
That name is Hicks... Brian Hicks, senior partner with public affairs and wingnut politician factory Hicks Parnters, LLC. One of the things they adverstise as a service on their website is direct access to the Bush Administration. They also seem to disproportianately represent a high number of energy and engineering firms in the P.R./governmental affairs work.
I am wondering if this Brian Hicks could be in anyway related to Thomas Hicks, the recently retired principal at Hicks, Tate, Muse & Furst, who is/was also a major energy/capital player and is the guy who sold W the Texas Rangers for a song...
This could really end up getting weirdly byzantine. Really... I mean a reanimated corpse of Constantine or something....
