Gloves not off, but are unlaced

Expect this Cap Times interview to create quite a buzz within Republican circles.

Gubernatorial candidate and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker says his
Republican rival Rep. Mark Green should give back the campaign money he has
received from indicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

"I think (he) should give the whole thing back," Walker said in an interview with the editorial board of The Capital Times on Monday. "Why would you keep any of it?"

Walker's comments came in response to the ongoing controversy over the roughly $30,000 Green, R-Green Bay, has received from DeLay since being elected to the House in 1998.Democrats have called on Green to return the money to DeLay, who is now facing charges of money-laundering and other campaign finance violations in Texas. Green said last month that most of that money "is long gone," but he will give the remainder to charity if DeLay is convicted.

UPDATE: This didn't take long.
