Can you imagine if a Republican did this to a Democrat...

It would be all over the news, here's the story.

Last Friday.... after the Assembly voted to engross the Budget Repair Bill, Hintz turned to a female colleague, Rep. Michelle Litjens and said: "You are F***king dead!"
New tone, indeed. Will he be held accountable?


** UPDATE: Hintz is apologizing.

An Oshkosh Assemblyman apologized to a colleague Monday for comments he made on the floor of the Assembly last week immediately following a vote on a contentious budget repair bill.
Rep. Gordon Hintz, D Oshkosh, apologized to Rep. Michelle Litjens, R-Winneconne, for shouting out an obscenity that included the words “you’re dead” that Litjens and other witnesses heard in the chaotic scene after Republicans approved the bill.

Litjens said she accepted the apology, but has asked the Assembly leadership to discipline Hintz.

Obvious exit question: would Hintz have apologized or even acknoledged the comment if I had not broken the story on my show/blog this morning? Full story and comments here. But thats not the best part of the story, he was busted for prostitution earlier in the WEEK!

State Rep. Gordon Hintz was issued a municipal citation in Appleton earlier this month for violating a city sexual misconduct ordinance.
Appleton police said the citation was issued Feb. 10 in conjunction with an ongoing investigation of Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor, 342 W. Wisconsin Ave., in Appleton. Police searched the business and a nearby residence in the 1300 block of North Division Street Jan. 28, after investigators had staked out the properties for several days after receiving a tip.

Dems are children...

This was the action taken by state dems last night after the vote was taken to pass Scott Walkers bill. There is a lawyer saying that goes well with this , "If you have the truth state it, if you have the facts use them, if you have neither pound the table". Looks like a lot of table pounding going on here. Stay classy dems.

Government worker dies... no one notices...

Normally I would expect to find such a story in The Onion, not an actual online magazine.

It's the nightmare of every employee who feels undervalued and isolated at work: you could die at your desk and no one would ever notice. This actually happened to a 51-year-old employee of Los Angeles County: she passed away at her desk sometime on Friday, and wasn't discovered until a security guard found her on Saturday. She had last been seen alive at 9 AM on Friday.

The cause of death is still unknown, but investigators suspect natural causes.



Can't. Make. It. Up.

The best comment I saw was "She was twice as productive as usual that day" I laughed hard. And if you don't you have your head up your ass.
