Every GOP corruption scandal does deserve its day in the sun.

When we debuted the Grand Old Docket a couple weeks back, there were some miffed Ohioans who deplored the absence of Tom Noe, arch-Coingate malefactor. Our initial thinking was that the Docket was about the current crop of Washington public corruption scandals and that ethical implosion of the Ohio Republican party was basically a separate story.

But we decided that that wasn't quite right, especially with Noe's recent indictment on state charges. So we're going to be setting up a special Ohio sub-Docket to keep you abreast of the wasteland of public corruption that is Republican party politics in the Buckeye state.
