Obama thugocracy watch: Ohio Democratic political machine grinds on

Ace has the full scoop. The Cliff's Notes version:

• Helen Jones-Kelley, the Ohio Democrat in charge of Ohio's Job and Family Services authorized the computer search on Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher
• Ohio's Democrat governor Ted Strickland is "satisfied" there was no political motivation behind the search
• Jones-Kelley donated the max $2,300 to the Obama campaign
• Jones-Kelley claims that this is a common practice when someone is "thrust quickly into the public spotlight"

Not. Buying. It. This is another great thing we have to look forward to during an Obama administration. Democrats will leverage the instruments of state power to stifle dissenting voices with impunity.
