Massillon's Mayor for Life killed a visit by a former President of the United States because Frank Cicchinelli had a bruised ego. No one came and kissed the ring and obtained his blessing;
"Though not faulting Cupples, (representative of Governor Ted Strickland) Cicchinelli repeatedly said he was upset to learn about the event in his Sunday newspaper. He even suggested people in his own party intentionally left him out of the loop" (The Independent, October 26, 2010).
Thud
That thud you just heard was Frank Cicchinelli throwing the Governor of Ohio and the former President of the United States under the bus.
