He, on the other hand, looks like Herman Munster.

In real life he is about 6'8" tall. He is noticed wherever he goes.

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

Well, the taxpayers already took the hit because his deposition declared that he carried on the affair in City Hall on City time with an employee. So the taxpayers lost the benefit of his work, as well as her work. Many of their dates were city paid banquets and conferences too. Not only is he a Bum, he's a cheap Bum!

6-8! He dosent even need the platform shoes. All he needs are a couple of those electro thingies in his neck.

Paging Registered.

Thanks for the post!

Funny how she endured a "series of nervous breakdowns and reportedly is impaired by post-traumatic stress disorder", immediately after Mayor Knockwurst went public with her extortion efforts. Let's not forget the botched "suicide" attempt by our poor little Hispanic hottie-victim . . .

Wasn't she banging the mayor while still married to her now-ex-husband?

These two deserve each other . . .

He welcomed the communist party with open arms last year. I remember something about that in the news.

When this affair came to light, the Mayor immediately got his wife pregnant and she gave birth to a new baby in January.

He used his wife for cover. With a baby on the way, they have to be nice to him. What a squid!

Typical Liberal. :)

I don't think so, but I really don't care. As far as her post traumatic stress syndrome -- I think that dates to the time that this affair was still secret. If you remember, she resigned and tried to settle this for almost a year before it became public. She resigned right when he was re-elected two years ago.

It will be interesting to see if he tries to run for re-election again. somehow I think Milwaukeans might just re-elect him.

I remember that too. I had forgotten that incident. He's a Cheap Commie Bum!

Norquist would forgo a re-election bid.

Sooooo....who will be up to bat for the Republican party there?

[afraidfortherepublic]

I just heard on the radio that the Mayor has offered to pay the remainder of his campaign fund into some City fund, like the Library fund, if the state election law does not allow him to pay this settlement with the campaign money. That's outrageous, because then the city would have to come up with the money from someplace else. What a jerk!

Divide the fianal pot of $$$$ up into how many "encounters"!

That comes to $$$$$ per each pop!

Was she worth it?

I'm not sure that Milwaukee has EVER elected a Republican. We used to have Socialist mayors (yeah, really), and they have always been Democrats in recent years. In the last election, the life-long Republican businessman that ran against Norquist switched his party affiliation to Independent prior to that election. In any case, the man (although a lovely man) was aged and in declining health. Even so, he made a surprising showing.

The County Executive just had to resign in another scandal, and there is a hot race between a Republican and Democrat for the first time in years for his replacement. If the Republican can be elected, there may be a slim hope of a Republican for Mayor -- very slim.

Technically, these are non-partisan races. But everybody knows everybody's affiliation.

Did you see him carrying the baby while reporters were questioning him this afternoon? He had her right in front of him - almost like a gunman holding a baby in front of his chest as a hostage for protection! If you are in the Milwaukee area, see if you can catch the footage on a later Channel 4 news broadcast.

I'm sure that I don't know. What's your point?

Outrageous and disgusting. This man makes me sick. It's not just this affair, it's all the stories that have been written about what he's really like around City Hall -- very Clintonesque! He's got an enemies list too.
