THE NORMALLY loquacious John Kasich has literally been speechless on what to say about eliminating Ohio's debt. POLITICO notes that the Republican gubernatorial candidate has simply refused to give his learned insights, apparently developed while on the payroll of Lehman Brothers, on what ails the Buckeye State's budget. He has allowed from time to time that a phase-out of the state income tax would greatly help the economy. Kasich's aides say it's too early for him to be precise as a candidate because the voters wouldn't be paying attention.
So I think I'll hand out the Grumpy Abe Linguistic Lunacy Award (GALL)to Kasich for his dismissal of reporters' questions about his remedy for dissolving the deficit. Says the candidate, ever so tersely:
"I'm not messing in that."
Well, I would agree, John, that it is a mess. And it could all be yours someday.
