1 She makes too much money. $141,980. Sue her!

2 A month without pay? 

I'm sure somebody in the Obama campaign could send her a check...

3 You were expecting her to be punished?

4 Hey Joe the Plumber....


SUE, BABY SUE!!!!!

5 JoeTP, um, you might want to expedite your filings. The sooner you win, the better the chance you get to enter the financial market at its lowest point with a nice wad of cash. Buy, then let it ride, baby!

6 And given that her husband works for some community organizing group, this $11,000 deduction might keep them under the $200 g's, and they won't get hit with Obama's rich tax.

Everybody wins.

Oh, yeah. Except Joe the Plumber. Forgot about him.

7

Sweet baby Jesus...$142k + her state pension on retirement...my state really sucks donkeydicks.

8

The state highway patrol is investigating, so there may still be criminal charges. Hopefully JtP files a civil suit as well.

9 Jail. Jail jail jail.

10 Back when I was a contractor billing by the hour I called that a vacation.

11 Will you guys remember this when Ohio Republicans come to the blogosphere to ask for money in 2010 to unseat Governor Ted Strickland and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner?

12 I'll remember if I have any money.  That's not looking good at this point.

13

"Whitewash"?!?!?

RAAAAAACIST!!!!

14

Joe's only gonna get justice by suing them himself.

15 Bullshit. It is merely her campaign contribution.

16

Another affirmative action success story.

 

17 I don't think I agree with your assessment on not getting paid and that apple analogy, Ace. If I lost a whole month's worth of pay it seems that would represent a big dent in my ability to pay my bills. If *I* had the salary she did and my bills, it'd be no big deal. But I'm willing to wager she doesn't live quite as frugally as I do. I'm not saying she probably lives beyond her means--just that the more money people have, the more they tend to do with it.

However, if you are saying she needs to be punished more by paying out and not just by not getting something, then yeah, with that I agree. It should hurt more.

Just my opinion.

18 Wait . . .what?

$11,000 NOT in her pocket is a lot different form $11,000 she wanted to spend but didn't. 

I mean, c'mon.  It's a paltry penalty given the actual conduct, but let's not pretend it's not a penalty.

I couldn't go a month without pay.

$11,000 fine is more punishment than I thought she'd get, so hell, look at the bright side.

Plus, a finding that she did something wrong will be VERY helpful in any subsequent civil action, ESPECIALLY if she agreed to it in writing with an admission of guilt.

At that point, it's just a question of Joe's damages.

19

Joe's chance of success with a tainted liberal jury would be problematic.  Why would the dweebs vote to award monies to Joe when it would hurt one of their tribal members, the where-the-fug-are-we tribe?

20 A liberal democrat governor covering the ass of a liberal democrat government employee. I'm shocked.

21
What she did is a crime in Kalifornia.

22 11 Will you guys remember this when Ohio Republicans come to the blogosphere to ask for money in 2010 to unseat Governor Ted Strickland and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner?

Are they planning on fielding conservative candidates?

 

23

What in the hell is this world coming too?  How do you teach the children of today if this is given a pass?  I work in the financial industry and we can get fired for leaving someone's personal information on our desk when we go to lunch and that is how it should be.  How can anyone justify this?????  Our sense of right and wrong has so skewed that I worry about our society.  This women should be fired.  Period. Some people's moral compass is screwed up.

24 >>>
$11,000 fine is more punishment than I thought she'd get, so hell, look at the bright side.

A fine is demanding she pay $11,000 AND work.

A fine might be making her month WITH pay retroactively a month WITHOUT pay so that she loses two months pay.

25

For the gross abuse of her power, she needs to lose her job.  Period. 

I can just imagine what would happen if, say, someone in her position in CA ran those background searches on one of those Prop 8 crazy lunatics.  The left would be going INSANE and call for the immediate firing if the director were a Republican.  No question.

26 #21 - It's also a crime in Ohio

27 What bullshit.  She needs to be fired or sued by Joe.

Joe needs to explore his legal options and frankly, I'm surprised that I haven't heard of trial lawyers falling over each other trying to get to Joe's door to represent him for whatever Ohio's state gov is worth.  This is an open-and-shut case.  Where the fuck are the lawyers?!?!

28

Don't forget that there is all the extra work that the deputy head of the agency has to take on and do without compensation - and this is different from 'you got ill', this is 'you screwwed up and I got to do your job and mine while you sit home over the holidays'.

Going to be a fun department/agency, I can just tell.

29

I got suspended for the first time, in third grade.  I didn't get an automatic C.  I was graded zero for any assignments due, and any tests missed.

I missed almost 1/3 of my time in highschool either by ditching or being suspended, I didn't get an assumed C, even though I NEVER had less than an A until I was in my second semester of fresman year (and the only reason my grades were low were because of my repetative suspensions.) (no shit, my transcript lists me at something like .79blahblah.  the .79 is bad enough.)

Why is someone who is 7/8 years old (how old I was in 3rd grade) and is in the process of learning the rules, punished more than an adult who has been hierd specificaly for the purpose of enforcing the rules?

Every government employee who gets suspended should surrender their income, and that income should be put up for lottery for honors students.

30

Note:  The mandatory training programs will be commencing post-haste.  And the bulk of the people going through them do not need them.

Ms. Jones-Kelley is going to be a laughingstock in her agency.  How long she lasts after this will be a testament to her ability to get appointed somewhere else, quick.  It ain't fun when the civil servants who know what would happen to them if they did that look at you (and politely treat you) with utter contempt.

31 We have a ruling class in this country, they do what they want and we are invited to stfu about it.  What surprises me is no one seems to care.

The media destroys an ordinary American, with government help it turns out, and the country yawns.  Wonderful.

32 Why so lenient? She should be dismissed without further delay.

33

"social justice" "racial inequality," "power standard" which means the same as "white power structure," which SUPPOSEDLY means the same as "military industrial CONGRESSIONAL! Complex."  Funny how lefty's leave out the most significant portion of that statement.

Lies, lies, lies, lies Bigger lies, HUGE LIES, and finaly, lies don't matter, cuz you can no longer be a part in the argument anymore.

34 For $140-grand, I'd be a "public servant" too.

Good Lord.

35 Damn.  For $140+K salary plus no responsibilities and no repercussions for breaking the law?  Where do I sign up for that gig?

36

Listen, looking into someone's private files and then leaking that to the press is bad. But, it's not as if she did it for political reasons and it's not like when her actions were discovered she made up some lame excuse about the file check being SOP when someone new comes into the public spotlight.  Now those would be firing offenses.

 

Huh?  Oh, nevermind...

37 She abused her authority, perhaps criminally, to invade the privacy of am Ohio resident in order to publish his information as a dirty trick for the Obama campaign. Her punishment is one month's vacation with pay and one month's without.

How is that functionally different from being caught abusing her authority, perhaps criminally, to invade the privacy of an Ohio resident in order to publish his information and being "punished" with one month's vacation with pay and one month without so she can work dirty tricks for the Obama campaign?

I really hate libs.

38 What she loses in a month is over a third of my annual salary...

...what she deserves is a good hefty invasion-of-privacy lawsuit from Joe.

39 Boy, is she is over paid. Can you believe she makes that much money? Gov. employees and their pensions are helping to bankrupt a lot of states. backrutntre

40 Boy, is she is over paid. Can you believe she makes that much money? Gov. employees and their pensions are helping to bankrupt a lot of states.

41 Probably can only fire after 3 offenses. So she can do this in two more elections before being fired, and then hired by the Dems as a consultant.

42

Another affirmative action success story.

It's funny because it's true.

43

About state pensions: Yes. You have no idea.  Don't be too surprised, but even after private-sector businesses have moved away from traditional pensions because they are simply too expensive and make their business uncompetitive, governments have had no such inclinations.  They don't care about the costs and they don't have to worry about competition.

44

If you make $140K+ per year, the word "servant" doesn't really apply to your job.

Or, put alternatively:

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

45 Come January 20th she'll be head of the Justice Department.

46 Damn. For $140+K salary plus no responsibilities and no repercussions for breaking the law? Where do I sign up for that gig?
Posted by: Fritz

Forget it pal, if you're not a democrat or if you're a productive member of society, it's not worth it.

47 Thank you for not posting her picture.

48

Where is the ACLU?

Just kidding.

 

 

49

The ACLU is right where it was before the election - busy helping Democrats so they can take away your right to own guns, pray in school, and put a cross in a public park.

Oh, did you think the L stood for Liberty?

50 I don't want any well-meaning but obviously way too forgiving residents of Ahia to post any "Strickland isn't so bad" comments any more.  The cocksucker is obviously the enemy.

Oh and RINO Voinovich has to go too.  Fuck him and his scumbucket brother.

51 As long as she gets fired after the 1 month suspension, I'm cool with it.

$142K for a fricking gubmint job.  No wonder Ohio taxes are through the roof.  The taxpayers take it up the ass every time for government workers.

Time to tighten the belts.  Cut salaries and convert government pensions to 401K plans.  No fucking yearly cost of living increases, no fucking monthly pension payments till you die, and no fucking health benefits.

It's what you can save up and Medicaid/Medicare like the rest of us.

52 Public Servant? I don't feel served.

53

In these times, where all propriety is subjective and conscience is trumped by "just do it", Ms. Jones-Kelley is headed for a big promotion.

I am wondering if she plans on apologizing to Mr. Wurzelbacher?

Oh yeah, when pigs fly!

54 I wonder if this is so ridiculously tiny a punishment that when the suit against the state  is pursued this isn't considered tacit complicity in her conduct, increasing the damages Ohio will end up paying Joe.

55 She needs to be FIRED.

56 Fuck lawsuits. Send a couple of bonecrushers over to her house and have them dance on her face.

57 #26 Apparently not...

58 No surprise about this. Joe the Plummer, sue not only Helen Jones ass off but every depatrment and even the state. You've got an airtight case and can collect millions off each and every one of them. It's the only thing that will make any difference. Al lthey understand is a hit to the pocketbook

59 Public Servant? I don't feel served.

You just got served a tasty steaming hot shit sandwich.

60 I've been listening to donk cocksuckers whining for four fucking decades now and I want this answered:  How was Watergate any worse than this?

61 It would be poetic justice if any cyber hackers out there look into Helen Jones Kelly's personal life and leak every detail  all over the net, no matter how smarmy, and you know she has skeletons hiding. After all, she is in the spotlight with her sudden fame. Better check up and make sure she doesn't have a lien on her house or owe child support because of this public spotlight she put herself into.

62

@60: Um, Watergate was designed to help a Republican win.  Therefore, it was teh Evul.

This twat was helping to elevate The Messiah.  Therefore it was an absolute good.

63 A fine is demanding she pay $11,000 AND work.

Better, she should have to forfeit that eleven grand to Joe the Plumber to pay off his liens.

64 John Kasich will be the candidate against Governor Strickland in 2010. He is pretty conservative. Strickland has over $4 million in the bank right now. Kasich will need serious financial support from the Republican blogosphere all over the country to have any shot against him. Please remember this shit in 2 years.

65 I hope she has a big house, a nice SUV, and a boat..

and that month off hurts her so bad she'll have to do tricks in the street to keep ahead..

66

It's fucking ABSURD that bureaucrat drones, who generate NO wealth but instead steal and consume the wealth generated by others, get 6-figure salaries for essentially being chair moisteners.

Tell you what, folks: as each day that exposes unions and government people as enjoying all the perks and none of the risks of life that ordinary citizens face, is one day closer toward the day when a relentless and unstoppable force is gonna build to drive these parasitical mofos out.

It's gonna be ugly, if not downright deadly.

 

 

 

67

Since the state of Ohio has now admitted Helen engaged in unlawful acts outside her role as a state employee, Joe's a fool , a Certified Fool, if he doesn't SUE her ass personally in tort.

I'm sure Joe can follow a glistening trail of slime outside a courthouse until it ends with a lawyer more than willing nobly to  seek justice for his now-famous client.

If I were Helen I would be hiding my 84" plasma screen TV right about now....and calling my friend at Social Services to lay off sending those bogus welfare checks for a few months.

68 Don't worry, she'll be fine.  She'll file a discrimination lawsuit claiming that she was suspended because she is black and a woman.  She'll get a nice 6-figure settlement from the state.  Plus, when Joe sues, the jury will rule that he was responsible for her getting suspended and they'll make him pay as well.

69 Looking on the bright side, when JTP sues her she won't be able to claim immunity for acting officially. That may be pretty important.

70 So the message is, that if you want some time off, just illegally investigate someone and it's yours.  Where's the discouragement?  That's an incentive!

71

It is not just the JTP thing it is this other statement that proves that she needs to be fired!

"Charles also found that Jones-Kelley's use of state e-mail resources to raise money for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was improper."
