I’ll bet that Milwaukee ‘Rats like Brian Burke (D-Convict) and former Assembly ‘Rat leader Shirley Krug are wondering where the traditional power base was when the Madison ‘Rats were busy taking over the party and kicking them to the curb. They showed up in the form of AFSCME to protect Peg Lautenschlager after a bunch of Assembly ‘Rats (now led by Madison ‘Rat Jim Kreuser) and governor Jim “Craps” Doyle publicly urged Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk to run against her in 2006. This is not a mealy-mouthed defense that Madison ‘Rats have come to expect from defenders of their Pubbie targets; rather, AFSCME reacted as though Vince Biskupic had come back to challenge Keg….
If you are so terrified by polls, why aren’t you calling for someone to take on the top of the ticket, which today seems like anything but a sure thing for Democrats? Better yet, why don’t one of you step forward and make a statewide run if you think it could be done better. Oh, that’s right, you’d rather call on others to do your bidding. To do otherwise would show guts, something you not only lack, but also clearly fear when you see it exercised by a real leader.
I’m just going to sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show.
