Where’s Betty Sutton? Shame on the Columbus Dispatch

Betty Sutton “Speaks Out”: What should U.S. do? Ohio’s lawmakers weigh in on the Afghan war

Congresswoman Betty Sutton Takes a Well Deserved Rest

Congresswoman Sutton Takes a Well Deserved Rest.

After her landmark speech at the West Virginia Federation of Democratic Women’s annual meeting, Betty Sutton is certainly due for a period of rest and relaxation. It’s for this reason that I say pooh-pooh on you Jonathan Riskind and the Columbus Dispatch for pointing out that Betty Sutton failed to meet a deadline.

Not included

Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Akron, did not respond in time to include her comments.

If you, Mr. Riskind, or your paper were worth a dime, you would know that the representative of Ohio’s 13th district is quite busy representing our interests in far away places like West Virginia.   How can she possibly be expected to meet a ridiculous deadline from a rag like the Columbus Dispatch. Shame on you for not holding this article until Betty’s response arrived, however long that might have taken (at least three weeks in many cases).

Seriously, Betty, could you try to do a little less gallivanting around the countryside and be a bit more accessible? Look at the list of representatives who managed to respond to Jonathan Riskind’s simple question:

Rep. Steve Driehaus, OH-1 D
Rep. Jean Schmidt, OH-2 R
Rep. Mike Turner, OH-3 R
Rep. Jim Jordan, OH-4 R
Rep. Bob Latta, OH-5 R
Rep. Charlie Wilson, OH-6 D
Rep. Steve Austria, OH-7 R
Rep. John Boehner, OH-8 R
Rep. Marcy Kaptur, OH-9 D
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, OH-10 D
Rep. Marcia Fudge, OH-11 D
Rep. Pat Tiberi, OH-12 R
Rep. Betty Sutton, OH-13 D
Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, OH-14 R
Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, OH-15 D
Rep. John Boccieri, OH-16 D
Rep. Tim Ryan, OH-17 D
Rep. Zack Space, OH-18 D

That’s right, ALL OF THEM ARE LISTED EXCEPT YOU! Every other representative managed to step up and make a statement.  What happened Betty?

The man was only asking for 250 words (or less). Are you really that busy? Or, could it be that you are just afraid to answer tough questions?
