Ohio GOP official removes bald Specter photo

CINCINNATI -- An Ohio Republican leader has taken down photos he posted on the Web
of a bald Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter next to hairless Dr. Evil from the
Austin Powers movies.

On his blog, Hamilton County GOP Chairman Alex Triantafilou commented on Specter's
decision to switch from Republican to Democrat and used a photo from when the senator lost his hair
during chemotherapy.

That drew charges of insensitivity from Tim Burke, the Democratic chairman in
Hamilton County, which includes Cincinnati. He put out a news release yesterday with the headline,
"Republican Party Ridicules Cancer Patient."

Triantafilou at first said his counterpart needed to "lighten up." By this
morning, he'd replaced the photos with one of a frowning child.
