PITTSBURGH - Allegheny County Republican Chairman Robert Glancy apologized for what he deemed an “insensitive and inappropriate” float submitted by the City of Pittsburgh Republican party at Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade. “Placing your slate of candidates in the back of a convertible with a sign that says 'Best wishes from the Republican Party and your Lord and Protector Oliver Cromwell' isn’t the way to win votes,” said Glancy. “This is even worse than last year,” he said. In 2007, the city Republican Party float was entitled, “A Salute to the Potato Famine.”
