“Coggs has had to purchase underwear, socks and T-shirts...It’s just roughing it”

And that’s what makes America so great, people just rough it up.

Imagine having to go to a store and buy t-shirts or underwear???????????

I just heard on the news that the roaches are raising money. $300,000 from 1100 donors across the nation.

Well, did anyone think that Democrats would actually pay their own bills?

Comrade Commissar Trumka should be willing to support them. Certainly he can afford to do so.

There was a link to a Wis. radio station online that I was listening to earlier & they said on there that most of them were back in Wis. over the weekend as the senate was not in session & they were moving about freely!

On the plus side, I'm sure he plans, after wearing the underwear for a few days, to donate it to the Salvation Army and then use the donation receipt to get a tax deduction - as did Bill Clinton.

I heard earlier that they were at a rural resort in McHenry County, and Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena fits that description well!

What a bunch of clowns. It’s nothing I haven’t done 50 times when called out on a project that took longer than expected.

If they call sitting around in a hotel and occasionally going to a restaurant or store “roughing it”, they are not worthy of leading the resourceful people of Wisconsin.

It’s time for Gov. Walker to announce that by a date certain if these rats are not back in their seats that their positions will be considered vacated and newly appointed reporesentatives will stand in until such time as elections can be held to replace them. Time to get tough!!

Let them stay there. The longer they do, the stupider they look.

...if pizzas are being ordered for the flee-baggers then can’t someone just follow the pizza delivery car and locate the runaways.

LOL - looks like a plan!

...morons for 5 different countries have been ordering pizzas but most are coming from some pinhead in Egypt. Like a greedy union thug can’t afford his/her/its own pizza.

You're right Flyer - it's weird.

I am about in tears. It must be so awful walking away from your job and still getting paid to sit in a hotel room or bar on the taxpayer dime.

Why, they have no clean clothes, no HD TVs, they forgot their swimsuits.....oh the horrors. And they are “doin’ it” for the Kidzzzz.
