(Toledo, OH) Embattled Ohio governor Bob Taft visited the Toledo area yesterday on a visit to inspect damage caused by the emerald ash borer.
Instead, he faced questions from reporters about his recent convictions. Taft angrily denouncd calls for his resignation.
"There is no way in hell I am going to resign," he said. "I've got it too good in Columbus, and there's not a damn thing any of you can do about it."
Taft dismissed talk about impeachment.
"Look, those Democratic weenies haven't got the cajones to pull that off," he said. "Besides, they want me to stay in office until next November."
The governor said that his decision to stay was based on economics.
"Hey, I need the money, especially since I've got to pay for my own golf now," he said. "Do you know how much a membership costs at Inverness? Holy shit!"
