I AM THE FORCE

What a day in the news. Georgia Thompson indicted in the new Travelgate. I guess we can now all fully understand the hiring of Stephen Hurley. Xoff and the rest have not yet posted on this topic as they are probably all in secret left-wing conspiracy meetings trying to figure out how to spin this little bit of news. We look forward to hearing from you Bill.

Everyone should step back for a moment, take a deep breath, and look at what this really means. Either (A) the Doyle Administration has a rogue employee going to extraordinary measures to reward Doyle contributors, or (B) the Doyle Administration itself has systematically broken the law and one of those involved in the criminal conspiracy actually got caught. Which do you consider more likely? I think it's blatantly obvious that this is a guilty team, rather than just a guilty individual.

As I wrote a few months ago, Doyle has been incredibly stupid with his reward system and is bound to suffer the consequences. There is virtually no way that Doyle can get out from under this corruption scandal, whether Thompson flips on him or not. This is his staff, and his Administration, breaking the law to reward a major contributor. This story breaks through into the general population right now. Real people of Wisconsin, not political freaks like us, will now forever identify Jim Doyle as the Pay-to-Play Governor. It will be those real people who decide his fate, and the die is now cast.

I feel kind of bad for Xoff and the rest. They now have to rally around and defend a doomed candidate for many months to come. The bleeding will be horrible to watch. They should all rush out to read "Will" by G.Gordon Liddy for a role model on how to handle the crisis. But I guess it's probably too late for that approach. The cancer on Governor Jim Doyle and his Administration is already plainly in view, and no amount of stonewalling can make it go away.
