Cowards



Confused by mixed signals from the State Department of Justice, and cowered by claims that the move was racially motivated, the Milwaukee County Board has just voted to lay over the vote for a new chairman. Holloway remains at the helm of the board.

Long Live the King!



I'll have more, much more on this later. Including news on how taxpayers from across the state are now paying for this mess...

I'm as pissed about Holloway still being at the helm as you are, but I think you need to chill out just a bit.

The mess that the AG through at them is enough to at least pause and make sure things are lined up and done right.

And maybe there ARE a few cowards there, but not ALL of them are and I think it's unfair of you to put them all together in one group without at least attempting to distinquish the different groups.

BTW...two of the original 10 who had called for the meeting, but now voted to delay are: Quindel and McCue.

If you are going to call anyone cowards, it would be those two.

The rest of the 10 Supervisors (Borkowski, Broderick, Cesarz, De Bruin, Devine, Rice, Schmidt and Weishan) did the right thing.

Anon; if Thug Holloway is somehow ousted from the chair (whether by a simple majority or by 2/3rds, or by an 18-1 vote), he'll sue to stay there. Why not start that legal process now under the principle of "the sooner we start, the sooner he's gone".

You are right, however, that we need to separate the cowards from the non-cowards. The vote to delay was 11-8, and JSOnline's DayWatch has the cowards as Thug Holloway, Toni Clark, Elizabeth Coggs-Jones, Marina Dimtrijevic, Willie Johnson Jr, Michael Mayo Sr, Ryan McCure, Richard Nyklewicz Jr, Roger Quindel, Peggy West and James White. McCue and Quindel are special cowards for supporting the drive to unseat Holloway as chair yet delaying the vote, and Nyklewicz is also a special coward for being an early voice against Holloway and shutting up once things got serious.

The 8 heroes of the revolution are Mark Borowski, Gerry Broderick, Paul Cesarz (my supervisor), Lynne DeBruin, Dan Devine, Joseph Rice, James Schmitt and John Weishan Jr.

Maybe only white folks should be on the board. End this once and for all.

Anon with the 4th reply (at least until it is struck down by lightning), you're in the wrong time period, and that's the kindest thing I can say about your racist troll carcass.

I'm not going to chill, but I will grant you the fact that the 8 who stuck to their guns are not cowards and should not be lumped in with the rest.

As for the racial aspect of all this, the fact is the next chair is likely to be a person of color, therefore that argument does not hold water. Any regular reader of this blog knows that my focus has been on hypocrisy and bad behavior regardless of the color of the perpetrators. Last I heard Diamond Jim, Peg the Keg, Howard Scream and Russ "Look at Me!" Feingold were all white folk...
