You Can't Make Up This Stuff.....

This just in............

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has just hired another white male - Jim Trakas.

Who is Jim Trakas?  Here are a few pieces of information about him.


Cleveland.com:
....Trakas has less agency experience than his predecessor, Kevin Miller, whom Kasich just tapped to be director of the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission. Miller was chief of staff at the Ohio Department of Youth Services before he was appointed as the cosmetology board's executive director in 2005. He earned $91,000 a year at the board. 

Trakas' last two non-political jobs listed on his resume: commercial sales representative for Nature Stone Floors of Bedford and public policy coordinator at Lorain County Community College, which he left so he could run for Congress in 2008. 

Kasich has said he will not base hiring on politics, but rather on qualifications....

Sure.....

Jim Trakas ran against Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Jim Trakas is the jerk that famously said at a McCain-Palin rally that (see Bloggerinterrupted)....Barack Obama supporters are "sinners"....

Of course, we can't forget that when Jim Trakas was a GOP chairman, he initially wanted to challenge voters who were disabled during the 2004 presidential election (see Washington Post).
