Josh Mandel blows off another board of deposit meeting

Thank you so much, Progress Ohio, for the link to this. I've watched it half a dozen times and laughed my ass off. Just loved the shot of Joshie hunkered down in the limo outside his D.C. fundraiser today, although I guess I have to take their word for it that it's really him. Meanwhile, although he was busted in advance, Mandel shamelessly skipped a work day at the treasurer's office, paid for by us the taxpayers, in order to be at the fundraiser for the Senate job he's really coveting.

In case you are wondering who the American Bridge PAC that put together this video is, here is what they say about themselves:

American Bridge 21st Century is a progressive research and communications organization committed to holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions and helping you ascertain when Republican candidates are pretending to be something they’re not.

How appropriate since Josh Mandel is pretending he is Ohio treasurer, but he is not doing the job. And he is pretending he is qualified to be a U.S. Senator — but he is not. "AWOL" is definitely the best description of Josh "The Empty Suit" Mandel, because in every elected office he has had in his run as a career politician, he has basically been AWOL.
