Politics Corner January 22nd

Since I'm in Georgia and moving into Florida it seems only fair that I do a Cletus hunt in Wisconsin.

Brewfan will not be happy to learn that at least two lifeforms lower than Robin Vos have been found in the Wisconsin State legislature. Elijah Behnke correctly identifies Vos as a "swamp creature" but is waiting to punch Gov. Evers the first time that he sees him (is Behnke even in Madison? Evers isn't hard to find) and says Republicans need to cheat at elections "like Democrats".

Vos might have ignored Timothy Ramthun's numerous calls to reverse Wisconsin's electoral votes if Ramthun hadn't also said that Vos signed a secret agreement with Hilary Clinton's lawyers authorizing absentee ballot drop boxes. And no, none of this works that way. [Associated Press}

This is both an ultimate insider and carpetbagger story at the same time. The Uihleins (pronounced Ee-line) are old Milwaukee money and of course some of that goes back to beer - in this case Schlitz - although it gets hard to trace the money from the outside because there was an awful lot of intermarriage. So, you know, it's just like old money anywhere else.

Not all the old money people are evil but Richard Uihlein of Uline (ugh) shipping has gone out of his way. It's bad enough that he is spending a fortune (don't worry, he's got plenty more) attempting to overthrow the last presidential election. He's also spending yet another fortune - as an Illinois resident - on the Wisconsin US Senate election. I told you Wisconsin will be flooded with dark money. [Daily Beast] [Daily Beast]
