I guess what is galling is the insinuation that appearently to avoid being “hypocritical” one must simply have the absence of standards. Falling short of the ideals you believe in doesn’t make you “hypocritical”, it makes you human.

Furthermore, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Charlie comdemn someone for being less than either 100% faithfull. Lying about their infidelity (IE clinton), certainly.

The real hypocrite is the who selectively attacks infedility depending on ones political views.

To use unnecessary police brutality as a springboard to an ideological attack on the victim is the act of fascist bullies.

He makes me want to vomit.

But, if you’ve been paying any attention these last 11 years or so, that’s not what we get from Charlie Sykes. That’s not what we get from Mikel Holt. That’s never what we got from Mayor John Norquist; from Tommy Thompson; from so-called “reformers” such as Leah Vukmir. Ask Alan Brown, former superintendent of MPS, whether the choice crowd likes to make personal attacks or whether they want to talk about the issues at hand.

These “choice” reformers, education hucksters, have pushed the Milwaukee Choice program as though it were a jerry-rigged car that’s supposed to replace the car you have (MPS) that has been having some mechanical troubles:

They tell you they have a new and better car for you.
You say, “OK, let me look at it.”
They say, “Here it is.”
You say, “Alright, can we go to a mechanic and get a diagnostic so I can see if if’s up to standard.”
They say, “That’s out of the question.”
You say, “Well, I dunno, maybe I’ll pass.”
They say, “But your car doesn’t have any wheels and it’s running at 20 percent efficiency.”
You say, “What are you talking about. There are four wheels (I do need a new tire), and it’s running at 70 percent efficiency.”
They say, “The Journal Sentinel and Charlie Sykes are reporting that your car has no wheels and is running at 20 percent.”
You say, “They’re crazy, it just needs some maintenance.”
They say, “Teachers union.”
You say, “What?”
They say, “You heard me: Teachers union. What about those union dues?”
You say, “You’re crazy, let’s look under the hood, the teachers union isn’t running this car.”
They say, “No can do — this is a civil rights issue.”

And you wonder why Lena Taylor was in tears yesterday on the state Senate floor.

Sykes’ bedroom antics become fair play when he chooses to question the morality of others. He’s chosen to cast the first stone so he must believe himself to be without moral problems of his own.

I was simply pointing out his hypocricy.

After all, he’s complaining about the AG driving drunk while trying to uphold the law, doesn’t it make sense for someone to question Sykes talking about morality as he diddled with someone on the side?

For that matter, why doesn’t anyone on the right care?

By the way, I see you’re trying to minimize his indiscretion but it wasn’t just his wife that was hurt by his actions — it was his children also. No good father could possibly excuse Sykes’ actions. Why aren’t you condemning them?

But do keep Jim’s post in mind the next time Charlie starts spouting off on the air about how legitimate the GOP’s insidious “Defense of Marriage Act” is. Is there anybody in Wisconsin who would want Charlie standing up for their marriage?

Yikes!
