Whallah! Gets It Wrong---Twice

When Governor Lee Sherman Dreyfus passed away, Whallah! scolded the right wing squawk brigade for not putting up a fitting tribute. Well, I was wrong. McBride did a whole column for the Waukesha Freeman in honor of Dreyfus. Although, it appears she did not want to put a lot of effort into it:

In rereading his columns, though, I had a very tough time coming up with other pithy sound bites. He wasn’t like that.

Whallah! also questioned whether McBride would call Sykes out on his sexist postings of late. I guess I was wrong about that too. She apparently has had a change of heart when it comes to sexism. From the same Freeman article:

"As you probably know, there are those who want to change Mother’s Day to Women’s Day and thus honor all women, not just those who have children. I think that would be a mistake since bearing the next generation is clearly the most important function women perform."

I just wonder if she will be giving up her job as a journalism lecturer at UWM to stay home, pregnant and barefoot, in the kitchen.

Lee Sherman Dreyfus

Former Governor Lee Sherman Dreyfus passed away yesterday. He was one of the few politicians in Wisconsin that people from both sides of the political aisle could respect, if not like.

Bloggers from the right, such as Patrick at Badger Blogger and James Wigderson , wrote nice tributes, as did lefty bloggers such as James Rowen and Mike Mathias.

So what did the right wing local media have to say. Well, McIlheran just linked to Patrick's post. McBride hasn't put up anything yet, but as she wrote in a comment thread, she's been "real busy". Sykes wrote, "Look at me. I am going to be on the TV!"

How touching.
