WI Repub lives outside district with mistress, says wife

[54anickel]

Source: Raw Story

Protesters who marched at the home of Wisconsin state senator Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) were met with something of a surprise on Saturday. Mrs. Hopper appeared at the door and informed them that Sen. Hopper was no longer in residence at this address, but now lives in Madison, WI with his 25-year-old mistress.

Blogging Blue also reports that Mrs. Hopper intends to sign the recall petition against her husband. The petition has already been signed by the family's maid.

19. finally a republican woman who isn't an asshat

2. Excellent.

:evilgrin:

3. Plus - apparently he has not lived in his own district for a number of months

which would probably be enough in itself to void his role as Senator. Fond du Lac county recall committee members told me yesterday that they have collected nearly enough signatures to have him recalled.

4. He should just resign.

Even his wife wants him recalled. But these people have no shame at all.

5. Love that GOP Morality

[NoTimeToulouse]

18. You have to understand that he loves his country so much, and

in doing so the stress of it has made him do some very unfortunate things.

6. Isn't he break the law?

How can he live outside the district he was elected in? Isn't that against the law? I know a local elected official got married and moved outside the district she was elected in, and had to move back or lose her job. If this guy has been living outside the district he was elected in for some time couldn't that be against the law?

[Angry Dragon]

15. That is my thought

[54anickel]

16. Bwahahahaha! Against the law....it's quite obvious from his actions in the performance of his

"duties" he could give a flying f*#$k about laws. But yes, I believe residency in the district you represent is a requirement of both law and common sense. Both concepts completely lost on this local administration.

20. Ask the Secretary of State of Indiana about that.

He was just indicted on 7 felonies related to lying about his residence. A Republican, naturally.

7. Per several sources in Madison yesterday, his mistress is a lobbyist. Stay tuned. n/t

9. Uh oh---Special Prosecutor on the way...

[Critters2]

11. Apparently, she was fired when this became public.

Maybe she can move with him into his district now. I'm sure the GOP'ers who voted for him would appreciate that. :)

[Scuba]

14. I doubt if she would be willing...

..to move to Fond du Lac, a city set firmly in the 1950's.

[Critters2]

21. That's gonna be a problem for randy Randy, then. Those pesky residency requirements, and all!

Btw, I like Fond du Lac. It's a refreshing break when visiting my dad in West Bend. if Found du Lac is set in the 1950's, West Bend, home of Glenn Grothmann, is set in the 1850's.

[Scuba]

22. I'm working on Grothman's recall - my district.

[Critters2]

27. Do you think there's a chance Grothmann can be recalled?

That seems like a long shot to me.

[Warpy]

25. All he has to do is abandon his wife and children to marry his whore

and all will be forgiven by the good religious people who elected him.

13. A Lobbyist named Valerie Cass

8. It's OK because he is a republican - Hypocrisy and deception are normal

[Drale]

10. If your a politician

don't piss off your wife because they know things.

[blondeatlast]

24. Amazing how they don't seem to get that simple concept (much to our amusement). nt

[spanone]

12. family maid? randy must be doing alright...a maid AND a twenty five year old mistress

[54anickel]

17. Must be making close to those highly overpaid teachers now that he's in the public sector, huh.

[provis99]

23. heh. Shakespeare was right.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

[Blue Owl]

26. So is his spouse in Fond du Lac his "anchor wife"?

n/t

[Critters2]

28. Anchor wife! LOL! nt
