Dooley Plays The "Blame The Victim" Card

Fred Dooley, in an amazing bit of twisted thinking and circular logic, decided what was the real reason that the state legislature failed to pass the union contracts:

If the left wing blogosphere, the unions and all their left wing pals had stuck with Jeff Plale instead of throwing their weight behind a truly radical left wing primary challenger they would have likely been able to get Plale's vote and had their new contracts.

Funny thing is, as Zach and xoff each point out, Plale enjoyed more backing from organized labor, including the very workers he screwed over, than his challenger, Senator-elect Chris Larson.

Thank goodness that old Fred isn't a counselor. With his kind of logic, he'd be telling battered women to stay with their abusers or they'll get what's coming to them.

If he wants to blame the left and the unions for anything, it's for not recognizing Plale for what he was years ago and allowing him to stay in office as long as he has.

"But this ticket was issued. I have a copy of this ticket"

A week ago, Charlie Sykes was squawking about Chris Larson getting a ticket for disorderly conduct for what turned out to be nothing, since the charges were dropped.

He kept saying how he "had a copy of this ticket," like it really meant anything.

Not nearly as much as the other ticket he has in his possession.

Well, seeing as how Charlie has picked up the hobby of collecting tickets, here is another one for him. According to WisPolitics.com, the story behind the ticket goes like this:

According to the South Milwaukee Police report, Elizabeth Plale reported that following an argument at their home, her husband tried to stop her from leaving their residence. She told police he grabbed her suitcase and threw it onto the lawn and "kicked her in the lower back area."

Plale denied that he kicked her, but told police he pushed her out the door. He told police that during the argument "a side of him came out that he had never known before."

Plale was cited for a municipal charge of disorderly conduct. Court records show that Elizabeth Plale filed for divorce Nov. 26, 2001. The divorce was finalized Sept. 22, 2003.

Plale admitted that he paid the fine associated with the ticket.

I don't know about you, but in my book, domestic violence is a bit more significant than an dropped ticket for beeping a horn.

Another Day - Sykes Gets Caught In Another Lie

Today, Sykes spent a considerable amount of time defending state Senator Jeff Plale by attacking his Democratic primary opponent Chris Larson.

Sykes brought up an old ticket that Larson had received when he was a young man. Jason Haas points out the hypocrisy of Plale and his allies like Sykes in attacking Larson on this, especially when Plale hires convicted felons without blinking an eye. Of course, as Zach points out, Plale tends make a habit of hanging around with shady characters.

Anyway, back to Sykes. Sykes brings up an incident from 2004 when a city contractor tows Larson's car away. Larson hopped in his car and was beeping the horn to get the tow truck driver's attention.

Sykes continues:

"When the car gets to the tow yard, Chris Larson is, yeah, blowing the horn, refuses to get out. The towing company calls the cops. The cops cite him for disorderly conduct. As far as I can tell, the case was resolved, uh, when it was dismissed with prejudice which essentially means a little plea bargain type thing, where you go take the class - anger management - I don't know what, you do something, and [mumbling] you know, you don't pay.

"But this ticket was issued. I have a copy of this ticket."

Naturally, I contacted Supervisor Larson and asked him about it. Larson replied:

"Basically, I thought the guy was stealing my car and I was the one who called the police. The ticket was given because I didn't have an ID on me and therefore couldn't verify who I was. The ticket was dropped pretty quickly after it was issued. Also, I was never arrested in my life."

This raises a number a couple, three questions:

1. What is the significance of Plale/Jensen running to Sykes? Is Plale really a D.I.N.O.S.A.U.R., like David Clarke?
2. When is Sykes ever going to be held responsible by WTMJ for all of the lies he tells? After all, xoff won't wait forever.
3. I believe Sykes when he says he has a copy of Larson's ticket. But does he still have copy of his own ticket?
