The theme of this morning’s blog posts: Ohio is really f&*king strange, and without a doubt, winning the “Ohio or Florida?” game this week.

Next stop: Columbus.

The governor of Ohio doesn’t read Ohio newspapers.

That’s fact, straight from the mouth of John Kasich himself. The exact quote: “I don’t read newspapers in the State of Ohio.”

We’ll forgive his feeble grasp on the English language and assume he didn’t mean that he doesn’t read newspapers while he’s physically within the geographic boundaries of Ohio, and that he really meant he doesn’t read newspapers that are based in Ohio.

One could infer from the wording that he at least reads some newspapers, just not ones headquartered in the Buckeye State, but that’s still a flabbergasting statement.

Why doesn’t he read them? Via Ohio Capital Blog and Plunderbund, it’s because it doesn’t give him an “uplifting experience.” Full video below.

  1. This guy is a condescending, egotistical moron. Why wouldn’t you want to know what is going on in the state you happen to be governor? Way to have you finger on the pulse of your state, Governor.

  2. He is a darling of the Columbus Dispatch which is an extention of the republican party via the Wolfe Family. The PD is moving toward being another Dispatch. Because they backed JK they now have a responsibility to the deciders of backing him and the new found hatred for the democrats because of the fights they had with the Jimmy and Frank show. The media is very simple and ego oriented and will censor that which is against their historic positions. The media in all of America is run by egos and money and political power. Now congress wants to censor the social media if even a suspicion of infringement is present…present by who? Why the big pushy lawyers and their control-freak ways.

  3. What do you expect from a member of the Rupert Murdoch cult?He probably spends his time hacking our phones and internet instead.

  4. And yet today he said he learned about something by reading an article in the Columbus Dispatch. So maybe he thinks the Dispatch is published in Columbus, Georgia. Or something.
