If this link is true, then the special prosecutor should get the Mike Nifong treatment.
No governor in recent memory has been so controversial. No governor in America is so polarizing. Everyone has an opinion about Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.Here's ours: We see no reason to remove Walker from office. We recommend him in the June 5 recall election.Walker's rematch with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was prompted by one issue: Walker's tough stance with the state's public-employee unions. It's inconceivable that the recall election would be occurring absent that. And a disagreement over a single policy is simply not enough to justify a vote against the governor.A Marquette Law School Poll in January showed that many people in the Badger State agree. In that poll, 72% of Republicans, 44% of independents and 17% of Democrats said recalls should be limited to criminal wrongdoing. Republican state Rep. Robin Vos has proposed tightening the recall mechanism; he should continue to push for that after the election, regardless of who wins.Walker brought some of this animosity on himself. He chose an in-your-face style from the start. To his credit, the governor now acknowledges that he did a poor job of building support for his policies. "The one thing if I could go back in time is I would try to spend a little bit more time building the case," he told the Editorial Board earlier this year.-Continued at the link-

As of Sunday morning, 7:00 a.m. central time, there's nothing on Skins's island about this.
Well darn!
I wonder why the primitives are mum.I checked both General Discussion and Latest Breaking News.,I suppose I should drag out the boat again and check the Wisconsin forum there, although state forums aren't very active.
I'm glad the paper endorsed Walker, but some of their comments IMO were meant to "soothe the feelings of those on the left" who'll be furious with the endorsement.
Yeah, this practice of attempting to sound even-handed. It drives me nuts. Most of the newspapers I know use it.....when endorsing a Republican. When endorsing a Democrat, they don't.And that includes "Republican" newspapers.
A group of Democratic female senators on Wednesday declared war on the so-called “gender pay gap,†urging their colleagues to pass the aptly named Paycheck Fairness Act when Congress returns from recess next month. However, a substantial gender pay gap exists in their own offices, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of Senate salary data reveals.Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers.Murray, who has repeatedly accused Republicans of waging a “war a women,†is one of the worst offenders. Female members of Murray’s staff made about $21,000 less per year than male staffers in 2011, a difference of 35.2 percent.
Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) paid men $13,063 more, a difference of 23 percent.Other notable Senators whose “gender pay gap†was larger than 23 percent:Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.)—47.6 percentSen. Jeff Bingaman (D., N.M.)—40 percentSen. Jon Tester (D., Mont.)—34.2 percentSen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.)—31.5 percentSen. Tom Carper (D., Del.)—30.4 percentSen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.)–29.7 percentSen. Kent Conrad (D., N.D.)–29.2 percentSen. Bill Nelson (D., Fla.)—26.5 percentSen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore)—26.4 percentSen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa)—23.2 percentSen. Sanders, who is an avowed socialist who caucuses with the Democrats, has the worst gender gap by far. He employed more men (14) than women (10), and his chief of staff is male. Like many of his fellow partisans, he has previously accused Republicans of “trying to roll back the clock on women’s rights.â€One possible explanation for the pay disparity is the noticeable preference among Senate Democrats’ for male chiefs of staff, who typically draw the highest congressional salaries. Of the 46 Democratic Senators listing a chief of staff on their payroll in 2011, 13 were women.
^Part of the lib war on women.
Top union officials are lashing out at Washington Democrats, claiming they haven't done enough to help them unseat Gov. Scott Walker (R) in Wisconsin's recall election.President Obama has been silent on the race since his campaign released a statement endorsing Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) immediately after his primary victory two weeks ago. The Obama campaign is helping Barrett with get-out-the-vote operations, but the president has not publicly mentioned the race.The Democratic National Committee has been similarly tight-fisted. The DNC sent out a fundraising email for Barrett, and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) will be in Wisconsin for a fundraiser next week, but the national party has refused entreaties to give the state party money.The election is on June 5, just 10 days away.International Association of Fire Fighters President Harold Schaitberger acknowledged the DNC’s help on the ground but said a major cash investment would have been worth a lot more."I'm very disappointed that the DNC has not seen fit to make a dollar investment," Schaitberger said. "When you're facing $25 million or more in super-PAC funds, you need money. The campaign needed funds to get up on the air to fight back. ... I think that would have been a good investment going into November."-cont at the link-
RE: From top of page. Yes, that's where the name comes from. I had no idea at first either.
Bummer…Liberal genius and NY Times propagandist, Paul Krugman, was slated to speak today at Netroots 2012. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite the draw they were hoping for.The room was empty.
Hero of the Left, Paul Krugman, keynote speaker for Netroots Nation 2012, he plays to an empty room?http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/06/bummer-lib-genius-paul-krugman-gives-netroots-speech-to-empty-room/Bummer… Lib Genius Paul Krugman Gives Netroots Speech – To Empty RoomPosted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, June 9, 2012, 2:52 PM
BTW, I think I finally under the name of the poster here who goes by the name "Toastedturningtidelegs". Just from the pure "joy" of posts at DU where they think all these crap the Dems are spewing will stick to Romney. I'm assuming the poster "Toastedturningtidelegs" is a spoof of the Democrats thinking the Republicans are Toast the Tide is Turning, this has Legs. Am I right?
You are exactly right! Before Romney it was Bush Who was "Toast" and they always thought any imagined wrong doing by Bush "had legs" which of course meant "the tide was turning" in their favor!
