Breaking news – snooping on “Joe the Plumber” was just politics after all.

The Ohio Inspector General has issued a report which concludes that the head of Ohio’s Department of Jobs and Family Services had no legitimate reason to look at computer records of “Joe the Plumber.”

And by the way, this isn’t the only political shenanigan Helen Jones-Kelley is in trouble over.

Jones-Kelley was placed on leave earlier this month over separate allegations that a state computer or state e-mail account was used to assist in political fundraising

The Columbus Dispatch reports that Jones-Kelley contributed the maximum to Sen. Obama’s campaign.
