This morning, from the mouth of King Kotex, Jim Sensenbrenner (via Owen):
If Democrats are attacking Republicans and Republicans are also attacking Republicans, this is going to be one hell of an election season in Wisconsin. In throwing Huebsch under the bus (and for what, cheap applause?), Sensenbrenner once again proves that the only guy he cares about is Jim Sensenbrenner. He's just another wealthy pig with a nose for the populist breeze, constantly rooting out issues that he can use to exploit Joe and Jane Sixpack, all the while supporting tax policies that pad his own wallet.
Sure, Mike Huebsch's speakership has been chock full of idiocy, but maybe a convention that's supposed to bring the party together is not such a good place to tear its leaders apart.
"Unfortunately, Speaker Huebsch decided to push it [the budget repair bill] through the Assembly. And he did so in a manner which does not fix the problems of overtaxing, and replaces transportation fees with more state borrowing - exactly the same move which helped destroy the Republican brand. Everyone can see this is a political shell game that simply postpones the hard decisions."

Nice job Jimbo. Here is a nice factoid to pass along those fiscal hawks. When Jimmy was first elected in 1979, the United States government budget deficit was $495, now in 2008 it is $9 trillion. During that time period- 3 Republican Presidents serving 20 years along with a Republican Congress for most of it. Mission accomplished boys..
