Goofy John Doe Pitch To Van Hollen Wounds GOP, Helps Dems

Say good-bye to the baseless talk radio/GOP claim that the Milwaukee DA was running a partisan John Doe.

One Republican asking another to take over the probe shifts the accusation about partisanship over to the GOP side.

Republicans voluntarily bringing up the criminal investigation that has already garnered 15 felonies, 3misdemeanors among six of Walker's close assocites in itself shows Walker is desperate (with top aide Tim Russell now facing a criminal trial).

A criminal investigation is not the message Scott Walker surrogates bring up in a Recall campaign unless he has no choice.

Real headline:

Paul Bucher is going to run again against Van Hollen -- and, actually, already is doing so.

This was the opening salvo of Bucher's campaign. Start popping the popcorn and pull up the lawn chairs, as it will be lively.

Who is BUCH defending in the JD investigation?

Could it be that his defendant is in a corner and has two choices. Trial or make deal and squeal?

Yes, who would think that an office with 43 people seeking his removal from office has a biased agenda here.

Dan Bice has reported the facts, RD:

"My understanding is that none of the attorneys in this office involved in politically related investigations has participated in the recall process," said Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern.

If they're trying to do a lie-filled "playing the refs" type of move, John Doe is clearly going all the way to the top, and Walker's going to be facing a judge soon enough. Otherwise the Walker hacks would shut up and blow it off. And no, none of the staff investigating the John Doe signed...but I bet the ones in the DA's office who did sign know how Walker operated. So what does that tell you?

It tells me that a washed-up bum like Bucher pulling this act may as well be screaming "Walker is GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!"

Why would Van Hollen want to go anywhere near this metastatic corruption scandal? He would have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Would he really mind seeing Walker's supine political corpse dragged from the path to the Governor's office. Republicans do eat their own, after all.

And what could possibly be more exciting. Because that is the whole point of having a nation and a government, so that two small groups of morons could sit around trying to score points for themselves and "wound" the other team. So said groups could spent endless time/money on legislation designed to really annoy the livin' crap out of the Other Side. Screw the rest of the population. That is exactly what people died for over the centuries. So yeah, I'm pretty psyched about this. Until I read the next blog headline claiming a big fat giant victory on this exact same issue for the Republicans. Then tomorrow we can have the same 10 guys writing blog posts about how everyone in that group of same 10 guys libeling each other. The righteous indignation will reach orgasmic levels of finger-pointing goodness. Why don't you guys all just get a room.
