Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch — who faces a recall election on June 5th — makes a great joke, apparently by accident..

Christian Schneider reports from a Tea Party rally in Caledonia, Wisconsin:
Kleefisch, who is facing a recall challenge on Tuesday from Madison firefighter Mahlon Mitchell, began her fiery speech by invoking David and Goliath. She likened the “big union bosses from out of state” to Goliath, accusing them of coming to Wisconsin to “pick a fight with David.” Kleefisch pointed out that in the story, David had five stones, then rattled off a number of the reforms Governor Scott Walker enacted, calling them her “stones.”

Pausing briefly, Kleefisch raised her voice, and said, “Our opponents, despite their money and their muscle, don’t have the stones!” After a few seconds of stunned laughs and cheers, she continued. “I was in the middle of a sentence,” she cautioned. “Our opponents don’t have the stones to move Wisconsin forward like you do,” she clarified.

Later, Kleefisch would tell me that her timely pause wasn’t intentional. “I was in the middle of telling a Bible story and people just started laughing. I can’t explain it,” she said.

Did Kleefisch intend/notice her own joke?

Without seeing video impossible to say. Change the question to "Based on my description, did Kleefisch intend/notice her own joke?" and add "who cares?" as an answer and I'll vote.

Another reminder how important it is for people who vote Walker on Tuesday to also vote for Rebecca.

Otherwise we will have the Madison lefties spend the next 2.5 years agitating in trying to figure out anyway to get Scott Walker to leave office early so Mahlon Mitchell can take over.

You all can speculate on how this might happen. But it will be worse than the constant recall situation we have currently.

2 on the first, 4 on the second.

It's a good line and a good ad, if they have the time to run it.

Hahahahahaha!

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Can you smell the desperation? The Kos Kiddies are unhinged with the latest Scott Walker scandal!

Bernadette Gillick was a college freshman in 1988 when she first met Scott Walker. It was spring semester, and she had just transferred to Marquette University. She was assigned a room in O’Donnell Hall (then a women’s dormitory), which she shared with her new roommate, Ruth (not her real name). Ruth was dating Scott Walker, who was 20 at the time, and, according to Bernadette, Ruth was deeply in love with him.

Midway through that spring semester, Bernadette alleges, Ruth found out she was pregnant. She informed her boyfriend, Scott, and initially he was supportive. That support changed to callous indifference for his girlfriend’s predicament after Scott informed his parents of the pregnancy.


Yes, Scott Walker now has a "Love Child"!!!!

"Can you smell the desperation?"

Yes. It's quite pungent.

It's not like Walker is a big moralizer on social issues. Why would anyone care that he got a woman pregnant long ago? Is it the 1950s or something?

rhhardin-

Pretty sure it refers to testicles and not the penis. :))))))

But of course, everything's different up North.

@Kelly--I thought he was referring to his screen name.

But then I'm always ready to give people the benefit of the doubt.

The joke is the same whether she pauses or not. So the real question is, is she a lame-o like Obama who can't help but stop and laugh at his own jokes?
