But I'm really more amused by your warped viewpoint that baseball is a form of child abuse. Wow!!

No. Forcing, encouraging (whatever) a small child to shout an ugly epithet on TV in imitation of an adult is a form of child exploitation. It just makes most folks feel "icky" and sad for the kid who is at an age when parents should be reminding him to say "please and thank you." It wouldn't have had the same uncomfortable effect if it had been one of the teens, or Mrs. Stroebal delivering the punch line.

As far as "where would we be without Glenn to push Walker's agenda", I'll remind you where were we BEFORE Glenn. We had Mary Panzer and a score of other Republicans who let the voters down big time. They hid under their desks when the going got tough. Glenn has the experience and the expertise and the tenacity to write Bills (he's educated as an attorney, despite your contempt for such) and he uses that talent FOR us. And yes, he had a law practice before he joined the legislature. I don't know if he still practices law, or not. I don't know when he would have time. He works full time for us and he's always ready to help constituents and non-constituents and other legislators with his knowledge.

Glenn continued to show up at Mequon and Cedarburg meetings long after he was no longer our representative. (Duey didn't.) I can't tell you the number of times I'd be at a meeting and the doorbell would ring at 9 pm and it would be Glenn -- he'd just driven in from Madison and was eager to fill us in on the political news of the day.

I'm through with this discussion and your insults. You are the one with the reading comprehension problem. Plus you have no gratitude for the work that Glenn has done over the years representing you.

Yes, I knew that's what you meant. My baseball quip was an attempt at humor. I'm not sure what you find insulting or ugly about the term "You're Out." It is neither. But your liberal interpretation of child exploitation is equally laughable.

It just makes most folks feel "icky" and sad for the kid who is at an age when parents should be reminding him to say "please and thank you." It wouldn't have had the same uncomfortable effect if it had been one of the teens, or Mrs. Stroebal delivering the punch line.

Reminding HIM? The line was delivered by a little girl. I just told you in my last post that HER name was Mary.

Maybe you didn't really see the ad. Perhaps you are just repeating what someone else told you. You completely missed the intended subliminal point of the ad - even an 8-year old knows it is wrong to be a career politician. You also had no clue about the actual district lines in Ozaukee County or exactly how long Duey has been in the Assembly.

It's scary to know that you are an Ozaukee County voter volunteer/canvasser with such awful powers of observation. But hey, thanks for volunteering! Please keep up the good work!

Here's the bottom line: A plurality of voters in the 6th CD are replacing a career politician with a 37-year tenure with a career politician of 21 years (and rising).

I think that is "icky."
