Ted Strickland vs. The Wife [update]
Fri, May 2, 2008
So Marc Dann is gonna fire Anthony Gutierrez. Big Fucking Deal. Leo Jennings gets a slap on the wrist for attempting obstruction of justice. [update - Dispatch now says Leo’s been fired]
Leo Jennings III, Dann’s communications director, should be “harshly disciplined for his attempt to improperly interfere with this investigation.”
He “attempted to impede the investigation by attempting to persuade (assistant attorney general) Jennifer Urban to give false testimony under oath.”
In a text message to Dann, Urban said, “I will not lie like Leo wants me know…I love you and Tony and Leo, but not enough to get disbarred.”
And the show continues. But hey, it’s great for blog traffic! And Dann has a press conference today, during which I’m sure he’ll pretend he’s some kind of strong leader. Right.
The reality is Marc Dann’s wife doesn’t want Marc Dann to resign. And Ted Strickland, who obviously wants Dann gone, is at her mercy, and at the mercy whatever goes on in the mind of a woman whose husband is stepping all over her and has for years. Great.
So the big test of Ted Strickland this week is whether or not he’s got the juice to overcome whatever agenda Marc Dann’s wife has. What a farce.

Modern Esquire posts about it on Buckeye State Blog then updates with a correction/retraction. Tim Russo believes the rumor about the Marc Dann’s wife saying no to the resignation is true. […]
