Snip...Walkers (Presidential) prospects took a blow this week with the release of more than 27,000 emails held by his one-time deputy chief of staff, Kelly Rindfleisch.
One, forwarded from Walkers ex-chief of staff, Thomas Nardelli to Rindfleisch his deputy is a joke about an African American negro who discovers he is a minority in other ways. I can handle being a black, disabled, one armed, drug-addicted Jewish homosexual, the email says, but please, oh dear God, dont make me a Democrat.
Another, sent to Rindfleisch from someone outside Walkers staff, joked that welfare recipients were mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, cant speak English and have no frigging clue who the r [sic] Daddys [sic] are.
That is hilarious, Walkers deputy chief of staff replied. And so true!
The emails, which date back to 2010 when Walker was Milwaukee county executive, were part of huge tranche collated in an investigation into campaign financing which closed last year. Walker was not charged with any wrongdoing indeed, investigators said he was never the target but the inquiry did lead to convictions of six former aides, including Rindfleisch.

He will be re-elected in November, with a slightly bigger margin than when he won the recall attempt.

...and all the bodies to fall.
Cackler may have the biggest head in the room, but will he settle for commish?
With Chistie and Walker and soon idiot Paul out of the way, done in by their own words'n'deeds as much as Rove, all the stars will line up for the next installment of the New World Oiler.
