They Say the Mind is the First Thing to Go

Take DPW Chair Joe Wineke, who was never accused of being a great thinker to begin with.

Yesterday after Congressman Paul Ryan announced he was returning money he received from Tom Delay’s political action committee, Wineke sent out this press release calling on Mark Green to return the money he received from Tom Delay’s PAC from 1997 to 2003.

Mark Green should follow the lead of his Republican colleague Paul Ryan and immediately clean his campaign of more than $30,000 in tainted cash he took from the indicted former House Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay, said Joe Wineke, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

3 months ago, after Green announced that he was returning the money he had received from Delay, Wineke said Ryan should follow Green’s lead.

Wineke said Ryan should follow the lead of U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Green Bay, who returned $31,000, or risk attack being attacked.

Why doesn’t Wineke call on Jim Doyle to return the $20,000 he received from Adelman travel or the tens of thousands of dollars Doyle raised when his top DOT officials put the squeeze on transportation engineers doing business for the state?

That's simple: There's only one Delay PAC, but Doyle has taken hundreds of bundled checks from the employees of dozens of companies with state contracts.

Keep talking about corruption Joe. I'm sure that's exactly what Doyle wants to run on this Fall.
