The news this week that Rep. Steve Chabot's long-time political strategist and campaign manager Jamie Schwartz was charged by the feds with embezzling $1.4 million from Chabot's campaign fund was a great big, heaping helping of irony, slathered in a glaze of hypocrisy.
Chabot, who has spent all but two of the past 24 years representing Ohio's 1st Congressional District, hasn't had squat to say about this situation, speaking instead through his lawyer.
What he is feeling today; I have no idea. (He won't call me back.) What he ought to be feeling is ashamed of himself and his campaign organization.
