Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) is fighting an uphill battle in next week’s referendum on his anti-public employee union legislation, triggered by a Democratic petitioning effort. And his latest effort to turn things around is — an embarrassingly incorrect sports metaphor.
The Columbus Dispatch reports:
“We never thought (former Cleveland Browns quarterback) Bernie Kosar would bring the Browns back and win that big championship game,” Kasich said.
Kasich, a Steelers fan who grew up in suburban Pittsburgh, apparently didn’t know that Kosar never won a championship game with the Browns, going 0-3 in AFC title tilts with trips to the Super Bowl on the line.
Oh yeah, “that big championship game.” Or to put this more simply: D’oh!
