There are questions whether this is a legal use of the Mayor's campaign funds. The Milwaukee City Council is meeting on this as I write.

Marilyn Figueroa

Mayor and wife.

Why should he be able to use campaign funds for this. If he's not going to use those funds for a campaign they should be returned to their source.

[Kozak]

Oh how beautiful! Norguist gets to screw both the woman and his contributors!

Doesn't Susan Mudd (the mayor's wife) look like Theda Bara from an old silent movie with those dark circles under her eyes? I do feel sorry for her, even if I don't agree with her politics. And now she has a new Norquist baby to raise! The Mayor is a bum, IMHO.

That is a really good question, although the other solution (Workers' Compensation Fund) is an outrageous solution too. This solution is going to take the edge off the call for recall.

Who's uglier? Marilyn or Monica?

These modern Democrat lechers are not up to the Kennedy standards.

Heads up!

You're correct. And no opinion disclaimer is required, since he's publicly demonstrated it.

His contributors should have known what they were getting in to because he is a Democrat!

[KSCITYBOY]

"After the affair came to light, Figueroa suffered a series of nervous breakdowns and reportedly is impaired by post-traumatic stress disorder." Could this be guilt? Geeez everybody is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. When did we reach the point where everyone looked and found an excuse for the things they did. Maybe the should put up a warning sign in hospital delivery rooms. "Warning - Life can be Traumatic"

She's not unattractive in these shots, and would probably be quite attractive with a smile on her face.

I would hope so. Though it would crack me up to see his contributors take the hit on this one.

Norquist admitted the sexual affair with Figueroa in December 2000, standing in a snowstorm in front of his South Side home. His wife, Susan Mudd, stood at his side.

Am I the only one that pictured the mayor dropping trow in a snow storm to have sex with the staffer, in front of his house, while his perverted wife spectated?

[Ditto]

She doesn't look that bad to me. He, on the other hand, looks like Herman Munster.

[Go Gordon]

BTW, since his political affiliation wasn't mentioned one way or another in the article, can we assume it was a RAT?

[JulieRNR21]

Nowhere is Norquist identified as a DemocRAT! If he'd been a Pubbie that would be in the headline.....GRRRRRRRRRR!

She accuses him of some pretty sleezy behavior. People don't necessarily believe all of her story, but they also forget that this Mayor is a tyrant around the office -- a little like Clinton. I do believe that Marilyn figueroa was afraid -- partly because she is a single mom, depending upon her salary, and partly because she was in a high profile position representing Milwaukee's Hispanice population.

According to Marilyn, he threatened both her and the Hispanics. She claims she had to stay and endure some demeaning situations to keep the neighborhood block grants in place, as well as her own income. Then he reneged on the promotion he promised her as soon as he was re-elected.

There are a lot of similarities between this case and X42 and Monica. Except that I don't think Monica was doing anything for any group of downtrodden people.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Yes. He is definitely a DEMOCRAT! He has also dissed George W. Bush every time W has visited Milwaukee -- even when W came here to throw the first ball out at the opening of the new Brewer's stadium last year.

Susan Mudd also attended the same college as Hillary! and is deeply involved in environmental issues. When this affair came to light, the Mayor immediately got his wife pregnant and she gave birth to a new baby in January. She probably had just learned she was pregnant when that soulful picture was taken of her. I repeat, he is a Bum!
