I grew up in that state and I am saying nothing about beer.

Nada.

Not a word.

Nope......not me.

I haven't seen his mugshot yet, but this image is from his state senate web site.

[NormsRevenge]

Don't get LaCrosse with me young lady..;-P

Heileman's ,, mmmmmmm

[Brad’s Gramma]

Heileman's....Bud, Schlitz...(hehe)...heck, ANYTHING with foam on it....

[NormsRevenge]

Yup, it all goes great with chili and hot wings. ;-)

[TaMoDee]

He drank free beer for two hours in Madison and was "only" .08! What a leaker!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Chili? Hot wings?

BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT! Sheesh, Norm! :)

[NormsRevenge]

It's the Viking in me, sorry. :-}

[Catspaw]

Toss in Leinies and Point to the beer list :-)

He drank free beer for two hours in Madison and was "only" .08! What a leaker!

"...Middleton police said Decker's blood-alcohol content was over the state's 0.08 percent limit but declined to release the results of a Breathalyzer test."

To properly translate: "He was .30, but he signs our checks..."

[Brad’s Gramma]

Point Beer! Oh my gosh......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

I FORGOT that one!!!

[TaMoDee]

LOLROTF! You got me! Love'ya man!

I will never reveal what I and my friends did back in the goode olde daze after hours in the "beer bars"!
One tale:
One guy "tripped" over the highway yellow strip in the middle of a road when we were crossing the road over to our car in front of a beer bar.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Sounds like deflection to me. A pol gets arrested and they go after the ones who sold him the beer. Just like the gun control folks.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Madison Wisconsin. Not exactly a conservative area...

Just when did you grow up in that state? There used to be a guy there who liked his kegs of beer. We called him the Crusher.

Decker has turned into a snob and nob I guess. Blame everyone else for his thirst. Years ago when Decker's were more down to earth and not so rich, they were just regular guys on the snomobile performance and racing parts Biz. I guess a little power has gotten to his head.

[Brad’s Gramma]

If I told you that.....you'd know how OLD I am!!! I can't do THAT! :)

Crusher! Wonder if that was one of my cousins...

[Nuzcruizer]

"Deanna Reilly, president of the Dane County chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said lawmakers need "to take the opportunity of this arrest to learn more about how to get involved in helping the fight against drunken driving." She said they should end all-you-can-drink specials, among other steps."

I know her too. She would like to end all fun in the state, close down every bar, ban all snomobiles, boating, fishing and sit home and knit. Typical Democrat.

[Nuzcruizer]

it obvious how old I am that I can recall the crusher, LOL! he used to beat up that french guy, mad dog vachon, and those Brunsell brother sissies Jim and Greg and their dad, Vern.
