Tweet Of The Year!

By Jeff Simpson


Everyone has heard about the Scott Suder/Scott Walker/United Sportsman scandal by now.  Here at CogDIs, we also explained how Scott Suder's former chief of staff, and current AFP-WI Koch Boy Luke Hilgemann was knee deep in the scandal and was going to fleece the Wisconsin Taxpayers of hundreds of thousands of dollars that he planned on parking right in his own bank account! 

When I shared this story on twitter, this response is what I woke up to this morning:

@JeffSimpson7 @LHilgemann is a great American&fights 4 us all.Your horrid blog is like reading the onion comical!Luke keep up the hard work!

Yes getting paid $500,000 of Wisconsin taxpayer dollars to "train" young hunters in Wisconsin, when you live in Virginia is the mark of a true patriot.  If only we could all serve our country so honorably!

You too can thank Mr. Hilgemann for his service and for volunteering to personally watch over OUR taxpayer dollars from afar!

Luke Hilgemann Says "Bring It"

By Jeff Simpson


Then runs for the hills and hides!

Our friends at PRWatch came across an email where Luke Hilgemann, then state director for Americans for (their own) Prosperity, wrote saying if there was going to bad press  --- "Bring It.".

An August 28 email from Hilgemann, regarding the bad press from the paper and CMD (and sent one day after CMD's article), lays out some of the strategy. “Let me be as direct as I can with this recent attention to USW… BRING IT!”

Then we found out that Luke was a member of the United Sportsmen, attempted theft of Wisconsin taxpayer money and learned that what Mr. Hilgemann meant was "bring me as much Wisconsin taxpayer money are you can."

Typically, after Hilgemann's macho Bring it, line and after getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, he has mysteriously disappeared from view!

Hilgemann, Suder's former top aide, hasn't responded to repeated requests for interviews over the United Sportsmen grant. But privately, he wasn't shy about giving his thoughts on the matter.

The effect of light shining on Hilgemann, appears to have the same effect as some other species!

Here is an exclusive picture of Hilgemann addressing a Kathy Nickolaus appreciation party, where he informs everyone in the room - "Sorry about your kids public schools, but we need to cut their aid so I can be rewarded for all of my time playing the good soldier."

In the "taxed enough already", small Government, free market AFP, this massive taxpayer cash grab was rewarded with a promotion!  They felt if he could fleece $250,000 a year from Wisconsin taxpayers, imagine how much he could get from the Federal Government - so off to Virginia he went!


Here is Hilgemann, saying good bye to his followers,  as he leaves for greener pastures.  Ironically every green t-shirt stands for $10,000 of WI taxpayer money Scott Suder had planned on handing him to make the move easier.
