Sorry about posting twice in a day, but this is just too delicious not to have a diary of it's own.

Scott Walker is having a bad day today. Not only has he had to try to walk back a bad case of foot in mouth statement yesterday as I've already brought to you, but some of the emails in the John Doe Probe have risen up to bite him in his posterior.

Yes, most of them are sealed under a secrecy order, but some were released by court order which involve a fatality in the O'Donnel Parking Structure which Milwaukee County owns during Scott Walkers reign as Milwaukee County Executive. The family of the victim are suing Milwaukee County over the incident and asked the judge for a court order for those John Doe emails.

If you remember the John Doe Probe at all you're aware that a lot of official Milwaukee County business that wasn't conducted using official Milwaukee County email servers. Instead, a secret router was installed and staffers, including Walker, used private email accounts to avoid the Open Records requirement for archiving communications. Those emails were uncovered during the John Doe Probe.

And the released emails demonstrate that Walkers gubernatorial campaign was actually running the County Executives Office.

1. My goodness quick someone pass the popcorn. I am waiting to see the citizens of WI

get justice. Hopefully he will not be reelected. I will love to see him have to walk to the court house with his hands tied behind his back. Making the pert walk, oh yes.

2. Thanks hue. More here ...

One might ask why Walkers campaign and staff wanted to suppress reporting. The answer, simple enough, is that Walker deferred maintainence on all County buildings while he was in office which may have had something to do with a chunk of concrete falling down and killing someone. And who wants pesky questions asked of a candidate for Governor who only wanted to talk about his promise of jobs, jobs, jobs for Wisconsin along with how awesomely he had handled his job as Milwaukee County Executive?

He diverted funds for care and uptake of buildings towards other areas to the point that we just had an electrical fire at our Courthouse because no attention had been paid to the over 40 year old wiring there for far too long. And due to the slashing of state revenue sharing as well as payouts for lawsuits Walker himself caused by firing workers and trying to replace them with privatization, Milwaukee County has had trouble just keeping the lights on. The courthouse was mainly closed for a week and is slowly returning to normal as the damage from the fire is being dealt with.

Poor Snotty. Getting asked questions both on his "foot in mouth" on expanding union busting to the unions that endorsed him and on this private email revelation must have his head swimming. The press? His buddies? Asking actual questions of him? Sure, they're stenographing his talking points as fast as possible and putting them at the top of their article without follow up questions, but they're asking! Questions! Bwahahahaha!

4. He's so bush-league. There is no subtlety to his corrupt, intentional incompetence. Only somebody

who actually wants an incompetent and unjust government could possibly vote for this nincompoop.

5. I wonder if Wanker could be charged w/negligent manslaughter as he deliberately diverted funds

from maintenance of our crumbling infrastructure. This was ultimately his job/responsibility!!! The onus for someone's life falls on Wanker...
