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.

Wonderful blog.
Don’t forget the beer to go with…
