(That's what Corbett had dozens investigating while he had one cop looking at Sandusky.) <br /><br />It's also illegal on the federal level. I don't know what other states' laws say, but PA is pretty loose on ethics.Superfluous Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935534194246434873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-8656212079731149512014-02-21T02:26:19.848-05:002014-02-21T02:26:19.848-05:00You can also understand Wisconsin politics as esse...You can also understand Wisconsin politics as essentially the rest of the state vs. Milwaukee and Madison. Walker has built his career off of trashing Milwaukee (even as County Exec - he favored the suburbs at the expense of the metro area at every turn).<br /><br />The rest of Wisconsin loves anything that sticks it to us in Milwaukee and Madison - they might even look at the content of these emails as proof that he's the right sort of person (or at least screws the right sort of people).Postscripthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832216047130433452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-54957168181481230092014-02-21T02:23:45.037-05:002014-02-21T02:23:45.037-05:00I desperately hope that this sinks Walker - I have...I desperately hope that this sinks Walker - I have had the misfortune of having to deal with him as County Executive AND Governor, and he's just the worst sort of smarmy, judgmental bastard.<br /><br />That being said, a whole heckuva lot of my fellow citizens in Wisconsin seem to have bought into his choir-boy persona lock-stock-and-barrel. I'm ashamed that hating the right sort of minorities and public sector employees remains such a reliable vote getter in this state.

Sure--basic, low level, racism and corruption will have zero effect on the voters. But again--this may just be the tip of the iceberg. What you see in these emails is like the neophyte or larval stage of a later corruption that is more brazen and that may have larger criminal conspiracy style significance. I wouldn't count out this treasure trove of emails until they have been thoroughly gone over. These people were very arrogant and its highly likely that there's other stuff there.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-18059548320201164942014-02-20T11:17:45.774-05:002014-02-20T11:17:45.774-05:00Walker has all of the personality of a stoned and ...Walker has all of the personality of a stoned and snoozing CPA.<br /><br />And the base will love him, no matter what happens in this case.<br /><br />He beat the evil Libtards - TWICE!!!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-81255824407297705352014-02-20T09:28:53.275-05:002014-02-20T09:28:53.275-05:00Doesn't it look like there is a "pattern&...Doesn't it look like there is a "pattern" emerging???
