I Always Thought It Was Rabies That Caused Foaming At The Mouth...

But apparently it's distemper:
"I have followed with increasing dismay and now alarm the campaign of Justice David Prosser, whom I endorsed at the outset of his campaign and in whose campaign I serve as the honorary co-chairman," Lucey said in the statement. "I can no longer in good conscience lend my name and support to Justice Prosser's candidacy. Too much has come to light that Justice Prosser has lost that most crucial of characteristics for a Supreme Court Justice -- as for any judge -- even-handed impartiality. Along with that failing has come a disturbing distemper and lack of civility that does not bode well for the High Court in the face of demands that are sure to be placed on it in these times of great political and legal volatility."

At the same time, Lucey said he has continued to be impressed by Kloppenburg, saying she has shown the proper judicial temperament.

"(Kloppenburg) has adhered throughout the campaign to even-handedness and non-partisanship and has exhibited both promising judicial temperament and good grace, even in the heat of a fierce campaign," Lucey said.

Lucey said he has resigned as the honorary co-chairman of Prosser's campaign, and he is endorsing Kloppenburg for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
I wonder what the odds are that Prosser, upon hearing the news, forgot that Lucey is the former governor's last name, and called him a b*tch.

  1. This will leave a mark!

    Prosser has now officially morphed from a brown steaming mound to a putrefying, yellow-line straddling, ground to a mystery, roadkill.

  2. Excellent! I am disappointed that they did not follow the priest sex abuse scandal with Prossers votes on whether you could sue the church and the statute of limitations, I can't remember all the details but SNAP would. They could have been used to remember. WI had the most regressive laws in the US,(re: church sex abuse) and was the only state those laws were upheld.
