A while back I mentioned the story of Randy Hopper - the Wisconsin GOP state senator who, after a recall campaign was started against him, had his wife come out and reveal that he was divorcing her and had shacked up with a 26yo legislative aide.

Well, the news just got better . . . .

It turns out that the mistress/legislative aide recently got a state job in, surprise, the executive branch.

It also turns out that she got that job not by applying for it, but by simply emailing the Governor's Chief of Staff and asking for it. The CoS then called up the Secretary of Regulation and Licensing - another appointee of the Governor - who promptly hired the girl himself.

To make it even more fun, she didn't start off at the minimum pay scale like all the other new hires. She's actually getting paid 30% more than the person who had the job before her. She's pulling down $43K for an entry level secretary position in a state that's supposedly so poor that it's cutting salary and benefits for state workers across the board.

Think about it ladies. $43K a year and she doesn't even have to pay for a webpage or P411 account!

Nothing like a nice juicy sex scandal to liven up a recall effort, eh? The ethics investigation has already swung into gear.

When Governor Walker said that state employees needed to lie down share the pain who knew he was talking about this!

Cheers,
Mazo.

Um, I hate to break it to you, but I make more than $43k a year. I think I’ll take my cost of doing business over her desk any day.

Sex scandals have been around as long as sex has. With all the injustice going on the world today, why do we treat sex scandals as something worth discussing ad nausium and important. Going deeper, why is the gal’s name the topic of the thread? Why isn’t the power brokering, politician the title of the thread? He’s the one that did the favor not her.

I'm with OH on this one (shock!!!).

I don't think who sleeps with who should be the subject of how well anyone does their job (unless it influences decision making).

If the gal is an otherwise good secy, more power to her.

If the guy is an otherwise competent legislator (politics aside), then more power to him.

People who work closely together tend to get closer outside the workplace and inside the workplace. If the conduct is all welcome conduct, I don't see a problem with it. Does it destroy marriages and families? Sure. But it happens in every workplace. Why should public service be any different?

No, really? OMG. And here I was thinking that I wasn't taking a direct crack at you and your lifestyle.

Wow. What was I thinking insulting you that way? I am so, so sorry that I somehow, without even trying or even naming you in the post, directed that squarely at you.

Maybe that's because the title of the thread was a joke?

And maybe "going deeper" than that and finding a way to take personal offense at every fucking thing that gets said on an internet message board is one reason that there's so much drama around here lately?

Seriously people. I don't know what kinda bug has gotten up everyone's asses but it's time for all of us to get over yourselves.

Just sayin'.

Mazo.

It's probably not going to get me off for as long as the bitch fest is going to run in this thread now.

I really should delete what I just posted, but like I said, I'm going to start calling out people on bullshit like this.

I can't speak for OP but I'm not jacked up about the sex part. If we eliminate from public discourse all who are pwning somebody other than what the record reflects...it gets awful quiet...mighty fast.

I can see where many would be offput by the hypocrisy of the move at the very moment one is engaged on the austerity side of such a public debate.

I'm not nearly as jacked up about it as Mazo...it's also behavior as old as politics.

But I can see the point...

Do you honestly think I thought you were taking a shot at me personally? Really? I don’t think that at all. I thought you were taking a shot at the women at large inside and outside the industry. The post in and of itself was interesting. So if you weren’t trying to link the two, why add the correlation between escorts and a woman accepting a political favor in your post? Because, the relevance of escorts to the subject is nada.

How was a woman’s name given as a title of a thread a joke? I don’t get it. Why not name the thread after the politico that did the political favor. He’s the one guilty of abusing his power or his office. She’s just a woman that got a job. Why is it called the Monica Lewinsky affair and not the Clinton Affair III? If we are going for laughs, The Big Dog or The Cigar affair is funnier.

So as a separate the Monica incident from the Gennifer Flowers affair or the affair story not released by Mayhill Fowler, etc. j/p

As for cheeseball, let her suck all the d3ck she wants to make barely what one can survive on. My only advice to the next politician, is to make sure she swallows the evidence this time.

Because if we numbered them, they'd be harder to remember than French King Louies.

That's why I said Bill Clinton III. I do think that Big Dog III is funnier and more in keeping with the joke theme.

PJ, I know he was a bit of a rogue. But, damn I miss him.

If nothing else, he was a gold mine for the comedians

Let's cut to the chase and ask the important questions: How big are her tits? And what does she look like?

Remember, it's Wisconsin not California. Cut some slack.
