God bless us every one


At the beginning of today’s Hamilton County Commissioner meeting – which rarely start on time – Commissioner Phil Heimlich arrived just before the meeting started but ribbed fellow Republican Commissioner Pat DeWine that he had beaten DeWine to the meeting.

DeWine, noting that he was sitting in his chair and ready for the meeting to start as Heimlich walked up, chuckled and said “Suuuure.”

Heimlich, feigning indignation and with a smile, spoke up to DeWine and said “As God as in my witness … “

Before Heimlich could finish, Commissioner Todd Portune, also seated and ready for the meeting to start, interjected “As Todd is my witness?” and laughed.

“Are you saying it’s probably one in the same?” Heimlich cracked back.

“Do you have a Messiah complex too?” Heimlich kiddingly asked Portune. “My wife says the same thing. Just because I lead the prayer here at the meeting.”

Then Heimlich opened the meeting and called for a moment of silent prayer.

Is there a point?

A point? Heimlich says he has a messiah complex. What a strange thing to joke about, especially given his Gothard connections.
