Capitol Chaos: State Patrol Goes After Democratic Senators
By Jay Sorgi

MADISON - According to the Wisconsin senate majority leader, the Governor's office is sending out state troopers to go after Wisconsin's Democratic Senate members to bring in a vote on Governor Walker's budget bill which would dramatically limit government workers union's ability to negotiate many of their benefits.

"They are prepared to dispatch state troopers to go out to some of the residences of some of the senators," said Republican State Senator Scott Fitzgerald on Newsradio 620 WTMJ's "Midday with Charlie Sykes."

"We don't know that everybody is out of state. These troopers are going to go and try to escort these senators back to the chamber."

The State Patrol cannot go after the Democratic senators who have left the state, and Democratic State Senator Jon Erpenbach told "Wisconsin's Morning News" that all 14 Democratic Senate members have fled Wisconsin and have not announced a timetable for their return.

**SNIP**

Fitzgerald said he was not sure if Assembly Democrats are showing up or want to caucus.

Brave Sir Robin ran away
Bravely, ran away...away...
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin

He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering off
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge

If I was Walker I would deputize like bounty hunters a band of ~100 tea party members to perform Citizen's arrests and get at least one (D) to cross the border back into WI where the State Cops could pick them up.

Hold the vote down at the pokey where the orange jumpsuited (D) finds himself, and have the Tea Party "Don't Tread on Me Flag" all over the walls in the background, and another banner placed behind the chair to which the (D) is hand cuffed which says "Fugitive Senators, we're comin' to get you next!"

Issue an Executive Order for the formal arrest of each of the others unless they willingly turn themselves in within 6 hours. Issue another Executive Order to the effect that if they fail to report after 2 weeks, their seats will be formally vacated and he will appoint senators to serve in their place in advance of special elections.

Sound like a plan?

FReegards!

We need parody lyrics of Paul McCartney’s, “Band On The Run” for that new hit song “(Democ)RATS On The Run”! LOL!!!!

They’re all out of the state. The governor and state police can’t cross state lines to bring them back to do their jobs.
