Huckabee campaigned today in my hometown of Waukesha, WI. Waukesha County is deep red--midnight red--a darker shade of cinammon. And the wingnuts are coming out of the woodwork--below the fold are three quotes that might chafe your refined sensibilities.

From today's Green Bay Press-Gazette:

The chairman of the Republican Party in Brown County faces criminal charges for allegedly fondling a 16-year-old Ethan House runaway and providing the boy with beer and marijuana late last year. Donald Fleischman, 37, of Allouez, was charged last month with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a single charge of exposing himself to a child. He was summoned to Brown County court for his initial appearance on Sept. 28. He is free having posted a signature bond as his promise to return to court.

A few more sordid details below the fold.

In this morning's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, there is an editorial written by Lee Iacocca that absolutely lacerates Bush. He does this by detailing W's performance against what he calls the "Nine C's of Leadership"--Competence, Common Sense, etc. Here is one excerpt:

A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to people outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world is a big, complicated place.

George W. Bush brags about never reading a newspaper...As long as he gets his daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through the sound system, he's ready to go. If a leader never steps outside his comfort zone to hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance. It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care.

Here in the Badger State, most Kosites are too busy laughing at Tommy Thompson's quixotic campaign to pay much attention to any of the other GOP clowns who are running around the state talking in a "serious way" about Iraq. But this morning it was hard to miss the latest adoring Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article featuring Rep. Paul Ryan, who just returned from his latest "fact finding" mission to Iraq. His musings appeared on the front page, and it offers more of the same delusionary babble that comes out of the mouths of most Republicans these days.

His grand yet delusional scheme to remake the Middle East has been a miserable failure, yet Darth Cheney remains in deep denial. Poor Dick. It's lonely at the top, especially when you spend most of your time underground in your lavish top-secret bunker. Rummy, Joe, St. John--his few remaining supporters are looking pretty shabby and delusional themselves, and Dick craves validation.

In today's NYT, Lincoln Chafee poses a question:

Despite my having voted against the Iraq war resolution, my reputation for independence, the editorial endorsement of virtually every newspaper in my state, and a job approval rating of 63 percent, I did not win. Why?

He then details a December 2000 meeting of GOP centrists with Dick Cheney, during which Cheney outlined a radical agenda that beared no resemblance to what Bush/Cheney proposed during the campaign. Chafee was so disturbed that he wrote Dick a letter in which he called for moderation and cooperation with the Dems. We all know how that played out. Read More
