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 Mr. 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."

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

Amazing how majority of Republicans act like brats. Perhaps the last photo is a self-portrait Chairman Alex!
