Of course, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is decidedly not “government.” How could anyone think that the highest court would be part of “government?” I mean, their pay comes from the private sector, right? The justices aren’t really “government employees”, are they?
Apparently, the idiots and slimers who put together the latest anti-Kloppenburg radio ad think calling someone a “GOVERNMENT LAWYER” is just about the filthiest insult you can say on the radio and still get away with it.
Before the anti-Kloppenburg ad suggests that we reject her because she’s a GOVERNMENT LAWYER, it points out that she has NEVER HAD EXPERIENCE AS A JUDGE; NOT ONE DAY. And, her opponent, Justice Prosser, was appointed to the State Supreme Court with HOW much experience as a judge?
Yup. Not one day.
The ad goes on to tell us how this low-life GOVERNMENT LAWYER (an Assistant Attorney General) spent her days in court suing farmers and small business people, exactly the kind of people we need to CREATE JOBS in Cheesetopia.
Yes, the ad-creators (and sponsors) want us to think that this slimy GOVERNMENT LAWYER spent her days targeting farmers and small businesses, and suing them of her own accord.
Ads like these, as I’ve said so many times, are designed to suppress the vote. And they work. Usually.
It just could be that this time, Joanne Kloppenburg and the voters of Wisconsin might have a surprise up their sleeve.

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
Next point?
"Lawyer" is bad enough....but seriously, the ads I've heard here also mention that despite sending her resume and pleadings for three or four different bench-openings, both Obama AND Doyle refused to appoint her.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm.
Government lawyers make sure the water Dad29 drinks isn't poisoned by the people who treat their wood with arsenic and drain their ethanol waste and paint remover and drycleaner fluid and cow piss and shit into streams and groundwater.
ReplyDeleteThey go after the people who put in only two bolts where four bolts are required to keep a scaffold from falling on Dad29's grandchildren.
They keep after swindlers who steal billions from Dad29s gullible buddies who stupidly and greedily believe they will make 129 percent profit on their investment.
They go after Catholic priests for diddling little boys.
Got a problem with that?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
She spells it JoAnne, not Joanne. Don't ask me why.
ReplyDeleteRe: The excellent point raised by commenter George H. The Dad29s of the world ought to be made to live in the mean world they would foist on the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteActually there IS said to be a place like that, prepared and waiting for such as he. Dante described it vividly. http://goo.gl/SmCtk
What would you guess ... Fourth Circle or Fifth?
George, I'm glad to see that you're saving up your sense of humor for some greater good.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Dad!

No, they don't. Neither do the police nor the legions of regulators.
Government lawyers, as you more accurately depict in your next paragraph, "go after" such perpetrators. There is nothing in their actions that "protects" anyone from the depredations of poisoners and livestock. They only get involved after the mess is made.
>> Got a problem with that? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? <<
Wrong question.
