BREAKING: Sykes Defends Jensen
After 24 hrs, Sykes has spoken and the talking points from the self proclaimed "champion of the blogosphere" are as follows.1. Blame and Attack the Judge and Jury. It seems the judge wasn't as much of an activist as Sykes would have liked. And the jury, well those are just ordinary people, what do they know.
2. Keep on saying everyone did it.
3. Jensen is a victim.
Pretty predictable stuff but perhaps what is most offensive is Sykes suggestion that this prosecution and the jury's verdit "inflicts almost unimaginable pain on his family."
Let's be very clear, Scott Jensen, and no else, has inflicted this pain on his family.
Talk about playing the victim card...give me a break. Where's the demand for personal responsibility from the right?
As expected Sykes has chosen Jensen over taxpayers.

Sykes is just doing what he always does - misleads and throws up a smokescreen.
1) "Everyone does it" is never an acceptable defense.
2) Jensen and Schultz both admitted guilt.
3) Pain inflicted on the family happens in almost every conviction.
4) How about the pain Sykes and his like inflict on children throughout SouthEastern Wisconsin every time he trashes public education
Sykes isn't a "self-proclaimed" champion. Webloggers gave him that title when he decided to make them an important part of his show in 2005. You won't find a single instance of Sykes giving himself such praise.
Sean,
not a single instance except the one on his own website where it says he is "the champion of the Wisconsin Blogosphere."
Then there's Fraley's approach which appears to be to ignore the story completely. Too close yo home perhaps.
“Scott is the brightest, most knowledgeable, most able politician of his generation, a man whose integrity and commitment to public service are respected on both sides of the aisle. A sitting Supreme Court justice, circuit court judge, and a senior legislative Democrat all testified to his honesty at the trial. He is admired by almost everyone who has ever worked him.” Charlie Sykes
Reality check, please. Some guys just think too much. "Reason," that grand and uniquely human power, is limited in reach and scope. It may be that the most difficult task for human reason is to comprehend its own limitations.
Such limitations imply that on life's most important questions - particularly those of a moral or ethical nature -- reason alone can produce chilling consequences. Without adequate or any moral illumination, reason alone, when pushed to its limits, can produce consequences, which stand dramatically opposed to moral demands.
Scott Jensen is The Myth Of Daedalus & Icarus personified. Daedalus conceived to escape from the Labyrinth with Icarus from Crete by constructing wings and then flying to safety. He built the wings from feathers and wax, and before the two set off he warned Icarus not to fly too low lest his wings touch the waves and get wet, and not too high lest the sun melt the wax. But the young Icarus, overwhelmed by the thrill of flying, did not heed his father's warning, and flew too close to the sun whereupon the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea. Daedalus escaped to Sicily and Icarus' body was carried ashore by the current to an island then without a name.
No joy in any of it.
And he didn't give himself that title.
So he's not in charge of his own website and what goes on it?
C'mon.
isn't this like debating whether or not the Dallas Cowboys are America's Team?
