Laurel Walker, the Journal Sentinel columnist that Jessica McBride keeps trying to have fired or sent to Siberia, to be replaced by McBride's choice, Republican Radio's Jeff Wagner, couldn't resist. Notes Walker:
In the partisan-like non-partisan race for the District 2 Court of Appeals, former prosecutor and now defense attorney Paul Bucher was the main man who went to bat in radio and television ads for fellow Waukesha County attorney William Gleisner of Merton.As a journalism "professor," McBride should know the old adage about not picking fights with people who buy ink by the barrel.
Bucher, a Republican whose last loss was the 2006 primary for attorney general, touted his affinity for Gleisner's "conservative values."
But neither Bucher, nor Gleisner, could deliver.
Gleisner didn't even carry his home county, where Bucher had been district attorney or an assistant for 23 years. Lisa Neubauer of Racine was appointed in January by Gov. Jim Doyle to finish retired Judge Neal Nettesheim's term ending in July. In the race for a full six-year term, she carried Waukesha County with 54% of the vote and the entire district with 63%.
Earlier post, same subject.
So Bill....or Laurel your point about Bucher and Gleisner not winning Waukesha County would be what?
ReplyDeleteThey are simply following the hometown tradition. Bucher as you recall didn't even carry the Town of Merton?
Did anybody check that stat for Gleisner.
Gleisner's second biggest mistake was picking Bucher to shill for him.

The bombing was a hit gone bad by members of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Seven murders followed. Police believed the killer was a Waukesha man, but then-Waukesha DA Paul Bucher declined to prosecute.

Dead Silence: On Nov. 5, 1974, a bomb wrapped in a decorative gift box killed paperboy Larry Anstett by mistake as he tromped down the sidewalk on his route. “The force of the blast killed Larry instantly,” wrote Kurt Chandler (March 2001). “His face was burned beyond recognition, his right eye ripped from its socket. Both of his hands were blown away and the bones in his arms shattered. Dozens of metal fragments were shot into his neck and chest, tearing into his windpipe and lungs.” The bombing was a hit gone bad by members of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Seven murders followed. Police believed the killer was a Waukesha man, but then-Waukesha DA Paul Bucher declined to prosecute.
ReplyDeleteInitially, sources have said, the investigation focused on Joan Kessler and allegations made against her by Schudson. At one point, an investigator in the case was even given the green light by a special panel to file a complaint with the Supreme Court, accusing her of intentionally providing the investigator with false information as he looked into Schudson's allegations.
