Wife of Noe dangled tape of '04 roast; 2 top Democrats spoke with her, attorney

COLUMBUS - In the months leading to her husband's trial on felony charges that he stole from the rare-coin funds he managed for the state of Ohio, Bernadette Noe held out a tantalizing prospect for Democrats.
It was the videotape of Tom Noe's 50th birthday party roast - a tape that could launch 30-second TV attack ads against GOP candidates like so many shells from a cannon.
The event, held Aug. 24, 2004, at the Holland Gardens dining hall as a fund-raiser for the Lucas County Republican Party, starred U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, Gov. Bob Taft, Auditor Betty Montgomery, and Attorney General Jim Petro - all reminiscing about Tom Noe with a blend of humor and seriousness less than a year before scandal erupted.

It`s not as good as James " Beam me up " Traficant.
2004 roast? He is really getting roasted in 2006.
Why oh why would someone open this thread just to whine and complain?

That was the most awfulist written article I ever read. I read it and still don't know what the hell it meant.

Noe was a coin dealer
He was in charge of $50,000,000 of rare coins.
He stole $2,000,000 of them.
4 guys from a Toledo Ohio newspaper who clearly failed Journalism 101 write a looong rambling confusing disoriented babble about it titled something like "Wife of Noe dangled roast tape in front on 2 top Democrats."
I think it said she tried to blackmail 2 Democrats to get her husbands case thrown out by telling them she had stuff on a tape from a birthday party that would hurt a lot of political careers.
She showed the tape to a guy.
She wouldn't let him watch the whole tape or take notes.
On the tape was a:
1. A sorority sister telling childhood stories about Noe.
2. Smoebody jokingly calling Noe an adviser to a mafia don.
People at the party told reporters they couldn't recall much of what was said.
Noe pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 27 months in prison.
That's about it.

I understood it perfectly. I can understand how a person could get confused if they haven't been following the case closely.
