No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Who’s running Team Craps and DEB, Riley Coyote? – part 2

(H/Ts – Aaron and Kathy)

Paul Bucher is proving himself to be every bit the bulldog, even to the last, as he announced that his office is launching an investigation into the coordination between Team Craps and the ‘Rat members of the State Doylie Elections Board that do not directly owe their continued state employment to Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale> in the latter’s highway robbery of Green’s election fund. Guess the DEB shouldn’t have done that meeting in Brookfield. As long-time Cheeseheads, they’re supposed to be smarter than Donovan “Vote twice like a ‘Rat” Riley; after all, Riley had the excuse of being a FIB at the time.

Equally not surprising, the other DA that Mike Ellis (RINO-useful in this case though) asked to look at this, Dane County DA Brian Blanchard, took a pass. I knew he would; he only persecutes enemies of the Madistan branch of the DPW.

Reaction from the Green Team:

GREEN BAY – Today Waukesha County District Attorney Paul Bucher announced that he would open an investigation into the collaboration between Governor Jim Doyle’s campaign and the state Elections Board prior to its decision to retroactively change campaign finance rules to bolster the governor’s campaign. In response to the news, Mark Graul, campaign manager for gubernatorial candidate Mark Green, issued the following statement:

"Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported what all of us have long suspected – that Jim Doyle manipulated the state Elections Board to try and strengthen his floundering re-election campaign. This desperate and outrageous display of corrupting a state agency for political gain showed that the governor will ignore the rules to keep a grasp on power.

"The good news is that we have an opportunity to turn things around in Madison. We can reject Jim Doyle’s brand of politics, and embrace Mark Green’s hopeful vision for the future of our state – a vision of lower taxes, good paying jobs, educational opportunities and honest government."

Damn, but I wish I had thought of this

The Coalition for America’s Families has launched a new web site documenting just how sleazy Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) is –

DoyleForSale.com

And yet another seam bursts on the USS Jim Doyle…

Almost lost in the shuffle… – SENTENCING UPDATE

by @ 7:49. Filed under Law and order, Politics - Wisconsin.

Former state procurement official Georgia Thompson, convicted of rigging a state travel contract to award it to a travel agency who gave Jim Doyle’s campaign donations, is to be sentenced this morning. JSOnline’s DayWatch reports that the feds are seeking 27 months in Club Fed, while Thompson’s lawyers (wishing they had Lynn Adelman, brother of the head of the company who was at the center of Wisconsin’s Travelgate) want only probation.

Hang ‘er high, Judge Rudolph Randa.

Revisions/extensions (11:28 am and 11:36 am 9/22/2006) – WTMJ has just reported that Georgia Thompson received 18 months in prison. Further updates from JSOnline’s DayWatch includes a $4,000 fine and an unspecified length of supervised release. Thompson remains free for at least 2 weeks while Randa considers her request to remain out while she appeals her conviction.

The Team Craps fix continues

(H/T – Elliot)

Somehow I don’t think that a “random” assignment of cases brought the Green challenge to the State Doylie Elections Board to Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess. After all, there’s this little tidbit in today’s Journal Sentinel story

Doyle named Niess a judge in 2004.

No wonder why Team Craps is now going for the full-monty Grand Theft Courts.

On November 7, remember to say, “And all of Craps’ horseshit, and all of Craps’ men, couldn’t put the USS Jim Doyle back together again” as you vote for Mark Green, JB Van Hollen, and your local Legislative Pubbie.

Joke of the day
