Silly Season

When you combine a slow, summer news cycle with an election next year you get a crazy stunt like sending an opponent 1400 hyperdermic needles. Elizabeth Kastner was a moron for keep them for the sole purpose of sending them to Assembly Speaker John Gard, but Gov. Jim Doyle's office was even more moronic to assisting. This incident even garnered a police report.

John Galt writes,

Is it too much to ask that our governor have a maturity level that nips inappropriate and incivil antics in the bud – even if they come from supporters of his? I’d like to think it is not. But instead of stopping this dangerous and downright tacky tantrum in its tracks, Governor Doyle has placed his imprimatur on it and dispatched his staff to participate in it and even defend it. That action demeans the office of Governor and speaks volumes about what a petty, classless boor Jim Doyle the person is.

Kevin gives us a dossier on "Crazy" Kastner.

This is going to be one long governor's election. Woe is us.
