Heimlich can count


UPDATE BELOW
Phil Heimlich's calculator must be smokin' today.

First, he filled out the campaign finance reports filed Thursday. Adding up all of the campaign donations must have taken some time because Heimlich set an all-time high for a Hamilton County commission race by raising over $1 million.

Then, Heimlich called the Enquirer to complain about the online story written about the speeches he and Democrat challenger David Pepper gave at the CrimeStoppers breakfast.

"You gave (Pepper) 170 words (in the story) and you only gave me 124," Heimlich protested.

Yep, complaining about 46 words. There must be an election soon.

UPDATE
David Pepper calls The Enquirer this morning -- perhaps tongue-in-cheek? -- to complain that the 17-word quote attributed to Heimlich campaign worker Rob Seddon was longer than Pepper's one-word quote. Election Day is Nov. 7.

When you all were asking David Pepper about the $240,000 he donated to his own campaign, did it occur to you to ask how that could be, since he told the Enquirer earlier this week that he'd come from nothing, and inherited nothing?

I mean really. No wonder he gets held-up at ATM machines.

Pepper and Heimlich are both clowns. Where does Heimlich get off complaining about the number of words a reporter decides to write? What a whining cry baby!

And this $240K that Pepper donated to his own campaign doesn't compute. Look at the jobs he's held: City Councilmember, junior lawyer at a law firm, law clerk. Those jobs don't pay the kind of income that creates $240K in savings. Daddy and mommy gave Pepper that money. For him to report it as his own is a violation of campaign finance law. THERE is something for Mr. Perry to investigate.

Talk about your daddy's...

If Phil's daddy hadn't developed that maneuver to rescue choking people, no one would have ever heard of Heimlich.

Somebody needs to set both of these clowns in a corner for a time out until they can act civil.

For Hamilton County Commissioner:

In this corner, we have someone from a prominent Cincinnati family, who has a law degree he's never really used, a former city councilman who has little to show for him time on council, and who has used his family connections to raise oodles of cash.

And in the other corner, we have... the other candidate.

Best hope for investigations of the Heimlich-Finney-Roberts sell-off of Drake and other county assets? Vote Pepper.
