Former governor Bob Taft pleaded no contest back in 2005 to four misdemeanors stemming from his failure to disclose gifts from lobbyists. And then there was that whole Coingate thing. The Republican finished out his second term in office, but not without a taint on his legacy.

Now the lead ethics investigator, in an interview with the AP, says that Taft was "not fundamentally corrupt."

Um, OK...
