~~ Only a day after The Blower reported “a new study shows that many of the super-delegates who could well decide the DemocRAT presidential nominee have already been plied with campaign contributions by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton,” Huggable Howard of course ignored the obvious when he wrote that after Cincinnati’s Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mark Mallory had introduced HIllary at that low-rent Skyline Summit in Oakley, Hillary described Dainty as a mayor "with approval ratings so high they can't be measured." Yeah, right! Maybe she was talking about the Mallory Family’s commitment to “public service.”

~~ Speaking of Hillary, when asked about Hillary’s qualifications to be president, did Russian President Vladimir Putin ripped Hillary a new one when he said “At a minimum, a head of state should have a head.” Meanwhile, Hillary’s former Pants-Dropping-in-Chief Husband Bill Clinton said the reason he had sex with woman— Ms. Lewinsky— was because Hillary wouldn’t give head.

~~ Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1801 after one tie vote in the Electoral College and 35 indecisive ballot votes in the House of Representatives, Vice President Thomas Jefferson was elected the third president of the United States over his running mate, Aaron Burr. Maybe they could’ve used some of those bribable super-delegates.

~~ Meanwhile, “TaxKiller Tom” Brinkman was wondering how many people were going to ask him why he had abandoned his principles along with his better judgment when ignored the Whistleblower’s repeated warnings and groveled for an endorsement before the idiotorial board at the Fishwrap on Thursday, only to be screwed by Skaggie Maggie and her minions for the fifth straight time.

~~ Speaking of abandoning principles, Temporary Hamilton County RINO Party Boss George Vincent will be defending his reprehensible record on that very point at the upcoming Blue Chip Young Republicans meeting on February 25.

~~ In Columbus , Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says according to the Akron Beacon, a new organization formed at the request of Gov. Ted Strickland will lobby voters to support the governor's $1.7 billion bond plan to create jobs in Ohio . You really have to wonder who these public spirited people are.

~~ Meanwhile, our Wulsin Whacker says Ditzy DemocRAT Icky Vicky Wulsin (Millionaire-Indian Hill) lists a veterinarian Jim Ryan as a contributor. It’s too bad she never used Dr. Ryan on Red Bank Road to tend to her dog, instead of ignoring the dog's welfare and allowing that tumor to grow. She also says on her web site she made a visit to "Portsmith." Could that maybe really be “ Portsmouth ?” How can she have an understanding of her district if she doesn't even know the spelling for one of the cities in the district? Also, Grandma Cleora from Clermont, says, "Come on, Icky Vicky, put that photo back on your web site, the one of Lawsie in his little black Speedo, with his knees apart."

~~ Our Clermont Crusader says the unethical fall-out from Commissioner Mary Walker's lack of candor (i.e. Honesty), now rises its ugly head in her home Township of Union . Chair-Trustee Bob "Nepotism" McGee tried to coerced his fellow Trustees into rehiring, to the Township's workforce, his drug challenged grandson. Good try, Bob, but your unethical efforts were foiled by Trustee Barbara "Truth and Honesty" Weidenbein. Commissioner Mary Walker's equally ethically challenged husband, Doug, who just happens to be the Union Township Administrator, was in McGee's corner. Birds of a feather flock together. Keep up the good the good work, Trustee Barbara Wiedenbein.

~~ After word leaked out those teenage boys on the ninth grade basketball team at MILF-ord High School had held down a classmate so he could suck one of the boy’s dicks, members of that school’s gay boys’ basketball team objected. “The principal promised only we could do that,” a team spokesman said.

~~ Was the Blower really there during the Forum that the Western Economic Council held between Dour Dick Hammersmith and Bob the Borg? You bet! And as the official publication of record for legislative races in Southwest Ohio , we found out that Derelict Dick is a one-trick pony (meaning he is only articulate on one issue and even then can't hold a match to Bob the Borg because of Borg's legal training and experience). When asked about funding for the Empty Uppity Oprah Winfrey Campaigning for Obama, Under-funded, Ugly-ass Poorly-Planned Unnagraown Rayroe Museum Not-so-Free” dom Center The Borg said he wouldn't support "One More Penny." Meanwhile, Dour Dick was trying to find his notes on that subject that someone had written for him, and his mumbling answers couldn't be understood by the crowd of over-taxed payers and employers.

~~ Another West-side Snitch tells us that the Dour Dick debate against Bob "Press 1 for English" Mecklenborg was well attended with Westside Chabotheads this week. The 30th Ohio House District state rep-tile debated Dour Dick (isn't that an STD?) in front of a crowd of about 70 or 80 people (65 of whom were ardent Mecklenborg supporters). It was even clear to the unfilled table of four who sat with Dour Dick that he has no qualifications whatsoever to be a state representative. This "business-savvy" West side group ate Dour Dick for lunch and he left almost in tears.

~~ Poor Hammersmith! He’s really getting hammered this morning. Unsubstantiated rumors continue to float all around the great white west that Dour Dick Hammersmith is dropping out of his State Rep-tile race. Now who do you think would be starting rumors like that? It’s probably by friends of The Borg who’re grateful that the Borg’s law firm has helped their kids out of speeding tickets for years.

~~ Meanwhile, on the East Side in that 34th House District State Rep-tile race, where three Anderson Township Republicans are running really dull campaigns for “TaxKiller Tom’s” term-limited House seat in Columbus, “In Russ We Trust” Jackson says he doesn’t want his campaign to peak too early and “TaxKiller’s” pussy opponent who lost in the 2004 GOP Primary just figured out which not-yet-incarcerated-lobbyist endorser’s name he’d misspelled on that slick mail piece he’d sent out.

~~ Criticism continues for that underachieving black elephant’s $1.4 million new front door request. Tony Maroni wonders why they need a new front door anyway? The old one can’t be worn out by all that attendance. The people running that place have no small amount of arrogance. Why not turn it into a homeless shelter or a new jail.— anything some get some use out of Portman’s Folly.

~~ Finally, tomorrow is “Presidents’ Day.” Let’s have a contest to see how how many times you see “Presidents’ Day” misspelled this weekend.

~~ And if you think that sounds ridiculous, our Quote for Today Committee chose Dubya’s, “I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions --but I don't always agree with them.”

Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo is apologizing for the lateness of today’s e-dition, but yesterday was truly the day all of Northern Kentucky stood still, marking the beginning of a new era for the already number-one rated Saturday witching hour cable access show, “Flashlight Theater.” Episodes for three classic sci-fi movies and two versions of the first-ever “Flashlight Theater Music Video” were filmed.

An all-star cast assembled at the CPC Studios in Latonia for the marathon Saturday session. Joining regular hosts Smiley Skelton and “Mischievous Mike” Sadouskas were award-winning writer Mark Motz, revered internet sportscaster Tony Schad, the iconic actor and musician Jack Voet, and the Beloved Publisher of the Whistleblower Newswire, Charles Foster Kane. Master monster-maker George Bruns’ creature creations took the sci-fi feature juggernaut show to new levels of terror.

CPC executives are brimming with excitement about the star-studded additions to the show Booh-mer Magazine describes as “already on the way to becoming a sci-fi and horror classic program in the tradition of The Twilight Zone and The Cool Ghoul!” “We’ve really pulled of a coup here,” said CPC program director Jason Dudas.

The Board of Directors of the CPC received assurances early Sunday morning that all damages to the studio would be repaired before it reopens for business on Tuesday following the Presidents’ Day Holiday . Charles Foster Kane expressed “regrets” about “the incident” involving his assault rifle and promises to spend a little time at the shooting range prior to the next filming.

“Mischievous Mike” Sadouskas released a statement expressing his full support for Mr. Kane, acknowledging, “Sometimes sacrifices must be made in the name of art and progress.” Charles Foster Kane’s press release was a tad more colorful, “I always say if you want to make an omelet, sometimes you have to expend several hundred rounds of .50 caliber ammo.”

The word on the street is that bootleg versions of the song “Flashlight Theater Late Night Feature” are already being sold by internet pirates. The Whistleblower will let you know as soon as legal copies are available. Stay tuned.

The Whistleblower's 56th Annual Seediest Kids of All Campaign (not associated with the Failed United Way , where they think money grows on trees) is underway.

Were featuring some truly inspirational stories about the waifs and urchins we claim to have helped in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky , just so you'll believe we give a rat's ass.

Why don't we have a more traditional holiday guilt campaign like the rest of the news media? No charity made our publisher its president in exchange for free publicity and our endorsement, we don't have a fat weatherman turned radio talk-show host who was never actually convicted of beating up his girlfriend, and all the really good dead celebrities other than Harriet Beecher Stowe "Clean Gene" Ruehlmann, and “BeanBall Jim” Bunning have already been taken.
