Helen Jones-Kelley resigns: Joe the Plumber wins without lifting a wrench.
Posted by kotang at 4:28 AMState official resigns over plumber flapI don't think Jones-Kelley was waterboarded; but as of yet, no comment from those magnificent bastards Karl Rove, Dick Cheney or George Bush.
CINCINNATI: A state official resigned Wednesday in the wake of a finding that she improperly used state computers to access personal information on the Toledo-area man who became known as ''Joe the Plumber'' during the presidential campaign.
Department of Job and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley said in a statement that she won't allow her reputation to be disparaged and is concerned for her family's safety.
Gov. Ted Strickland suspended Jones-Kelley for a month without pay after Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles found in November that she improperly used state computers to find personal information on Samuel Wurzelbacher. The investigation also found that she conducted improper political fundraising activity for now President-elect Barack Obama.
