Sorry not all of this one applies to Madison, but also from Watchdog Milwaukee:
It's gotten horribly old but now there's yet another Republican blaming anyone but themselves for problems that have happened under their watch.
In Milwaukee County, the fiscal health of the county has worsened as County Executive Scott Walker has squandered four years of power yet still blames his predecessor, Tom Ament, for all of the fiscal woes. George W. Bush and company blame Bill Clinton for the 9-11 terrorist attack. Sheriff David Clarke has upon numerous times fallen back on blaming "some people in this department" for anything that happens under his not-so-watchful eye. Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois), Speaker of the House of Representatives, apparently knew about the scandalous and perverse instant messages that Congressman Mark Foley (R-Florida) was sending to a teenage Page for months before the story got out, yet Hastert refuses to step aside.
Now Congressman Mark Green, who wants to be Governor, is getting in on the action.
He's talking tough on securing our borders but where has he been and what has he accomplished in all of this time in congress? Nothing.
He's attacked Governor Jim Doyle with innuendo and accusations about ethics and campaign cash improprieties yet he refuses to give up on using nearly a half million dollars in illegal campaign cash he was ordered to not use.
He even turned on the red light for big oil companies and drug companies by giving them tax breaks while raking in campaign donations from the same individuals.
What ever happened to good old fashioned accountability? Oh sure, we've heard the GOP beat the drum of "personal responsibility" when it comes to things like welfare "reform" and other excuses to cut benefits for the poor, but when it comes to taking responsibility for their own actions, the only sound we're hearing is silence.
