All McGee, all the time

Ten posts in 36 hours on Michael McGee Jr.?

And McBride's just getting warmed up.

At what point does it become an obsession?

(Sorry, no links. We are not enabling her.)

  1. Imagine what we would have heard on her radio show.

    I'll bet she has said that more than ten times in the last 36 hours.

    Would have been great stuff for the local tapers of talk radio. Some how Belling found out, but who cares?

  2. She continually identifies, at least, when it's convenient, with Milwaukee. On what basis? Her life is in Waukesha, her sympathies lie with the white-flight suburbs and her privileged background was not-at-all like the vast majority, black, brown or white, that call the city home.

    So the question becomes why is she so scandalized by Michael McGee? Did she know him at Bay View? Does she have supper with his constituents? Has she ever experienced anything like the life in his district?

    The answer is that McGee is an easy caricature for her racialist agenda, a convenient foil for where to store her manufactured shock.

    The irony is rich, though. Like any demagogue, she recognizes those qualities in the other: They both are ethically challenged, they both are clownish, and they both are bullies who rely on bluster instead of brains.

  3. Bay View? Huh? She never was there.

    She's from up north in Wisconsin.

  4. Actually ... am I alone or do others notice the quiet and calm of no Jessica? She's become obscure on her little blog. Speaking of which ... she reprinted an AP story ... aren't AP stories copyrighted? Do you suppose she gets permission from AP before reprinting their stories?

  5. McBride's scapegoats and targets:
    Kane.
    McGee.
    Immigrants from Mexico.
    Isn't the definition of a pattern when things come in three's?

  6. Six posts on various topics (whatever passes through her mind or into her email inbox) between midnight and about 1 a.m. this morning).

    You have to ask: Is this mania?

  7. I do find this ironic that a blog devoted exclusively to Jessica McBride is complaining about Jessica being obsessed with McGee.

  8. To the last anon:

    You have put your finger on it:
    McBride and McGee have much in common.

  9. And one post determines that McGee already, because of the (ridiculous) statements by his lawyer, has been proven guilty.

    Straight from the arrest to the arraignment to the conviction.

    Does she realize that her version of the process would put defense lawyers, like her husband, out of work?

  10. Shouldn't McBride be disclosing that her husband had McGee's recall challenger as a client!!!!!

  11. the (ridiculous) statements by his lawyer ...

    Maybe not so ridiculous, because while Wisconsin law authorizes the use of intercepted communications as evidence for a specific list of crimes, that list does not include misdemeanor battery (nor conspiracy to commit it).

    See Wis. Stat. § 968.28.

    So McGee's lawyer is probably seeking to have the intercept tossed out altogether, in that it was unlawfully authorized.

    It pretty much goes without saying that McBride's statement is ridiculous, however.

    Dude. We live in America.

    In 2007.

    Ain't no such thing as an unlawfully authorized wiretap. Duh.
