scooter dances on the grave of progressives

After scooters victory speech, in front of a crowd of slathering, jubilant gop elite, in which he said he wanted to bring the state together, Dems, taking what solace in the electoral drubbing that they could, pointed out that they now have a majority in the senate, effectively stopping any more of the extreme legislation scooter would propose.
His director of communications, Ciara Matthews tweeted this in reply:






Dems and Lefties called her out on this. If her boss is serious about bringing the state together, shouldn’t she show a bit of class?
The GOP point out that Graeme Zielinski, communications director for the Wisconsin Dems, is just as bad, if not worse.




Has Graeme thrown some bombs? Yes, absolutely he has. Has he gone over the top? Not in my book. 

The media in Wisconsin has shown little interest in actual investigative journalism (with a couple of exceptions), frankly being in the bag for scooter. David Schuster, an emmy award winning journalist, hit the state last week and reported that by all indications, scooter is not only the center of the ongoing John Doe investigation out of Milwaukee, but is also being investigated by the Feds. This news hit the weekend before the recall election. Funny how local reporters, who one would think would have better sources, never connected those dots.
Graeme has been forcefully connecting those dots for months. Funny how the state newspapers and media really don’t report this. A communications directors job is to get the message out. The right wing spin on the John Doe is that it’s all political, they‘ve been doing this for 2 years, why haven‘t they come up with anything?
 There have now been 13 current or former employees and confidants of scooter who have been given immunity in this probe.

And, as far as I know, there is no statute of limitations on felonies.

 I frankly think Ciara is in over her head. She’s 22 years old, and has been thrust into a political hotbed unlike any I’ve ever seen. She’s a Karl Rove protégé, rabid right to lifer, and former Hooters girl. She is a snarkey child, and reacts like it.

During her post debate presser after scooter and Barretts 1st debate, she looked like a deer in the headlights, repeating talking points over and over. She’s pretty and blond and keeps to her talking points. I would pay good money to see her and Graeme debate. I would pay real good money for that.

So, is Ciara following the lead of her boss? As I think scooter has no intention of doing anything but advance his radical, right wing agenda, yes I do believe she is the perfect person for job.
