Timmy "can do" Timken picks up his ball and bearings and stomps off the field.
As an addendum to Tresy's post below: PoTimken Village Closes Up Shop -- earlier initial context on Timken and his company and relations to the Bush pool can be found previously on this page. See Saturday, May 15 post titled Commander LeGree's Magical Productivity Tour. The comments section to this that (Magical Productivity Tour) post contains a wealth of links to articles, speeches, fund raising efforts, background info on Timken and associates, and their cozy relationship to Bush and the Republican Party down through the years. Including Timken's postion on the board of Diebold Corporation.
Likewise, Sid the Fish has been all over this story for days. See, for instance: Hey, Ohio: Mission accomplished! and or HERE
WR Timken, no doubt one of those small business mom and pop entrepreneurs the Bushlette is always yammering about, also managed to secure hisself a nomination and appointment to the National Consumer Cooperative Bank and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Hi-ho silver spoons away!
Likewise, in 2001, Stephen A. Perry, former "senior vice president - human resources, purchasing and communications, at The Timken Co.," was booted up the greasy pole to serve as Bush appointed Administrator of the General Services Administration. It's all just one big happy mom and pop family over there at Timmy Timken town.
Timken is also a Bush Pioneer. Which means he gets to wear a funny hat and "discover" new continents and stuff like that. Timken's pirate ship will sail for the East Indies any day now. As for all you sore losers in Canton, Ohio, - hey, why don't you just shut up and get a friggin' job!

One of the corporations in charge of electronic vote counting, Diebold, has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and one of its board members, W.R. Timken, is a Bush "Pioneer." Diebold will be counting votes in the electoral-vote rich state of Ohio next year. According to Democracy Now, Diebold can not only track election returns as they come in, but it can change them without leaving any evidence. LINK
