LOL! OH Dem party sends pants as birthday gift to Josh Mandel because

Josh Mandel, Ohio Senate Candidate, Returns Birthday Gift From Ohio Democrats

The Republican nominee for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat, state Treasurer Josh Mandel, returned a pair of pants that the Ohio Democratic Party sent him for his birthday, saying he does not accept gifts.

Mandel's office returned the size 34 American Apparel khakis to the Democrats on Friday, a day after the party dropped off the gift and a card at his Columbus office.

The Democrats chose pants for Mandel's 35th birthday in recognition of the Republican receiving six "pants on fire" designations from PolitiFact -- the most for any Ohio politician -- during the Senate race.

Here's what the card said:

Josh,

so many of your pants have caught on fire from Politifact's ratings that we thought you could use a new pair. They'll look
great for your next fundraising trip to the Bahamas.

Happy Birthday, The Ohio Democratic Party.

Mandel has earned 6 pants on fire ratings over the course of this election season, more than any other OH pol.
