The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee thought it was using a snappy cliche when it charged in a news release Thursday that GOP Sen. Mike DeWine, of Ohio, is turning a "blind eye" to soaring gas prices.

DeWine actually does have a blind eye, or at least close to it. DeWine lost almost all sight in his right eye, leaving him with very limited peripheral vision, after cataract surgery as a young boy.
