This also is interesting news from Wisconsin if you have not heard. Wisconsin Republican’s Mistress Hired as State Employee You might remember Sen. Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) as they guy whose wife and maid were going to sign the recall petition against him and who no longer lives at the home where he is registered. Well, it get’s worse. This guy’s mistress was hired from a right wing lobbyist firm and given a state employee’s job. You know, the jobs the senator just signed a budget bill over, killing collective bargaining. Maybe in Republican circles collective bargaining happens in bed. Hopper, who’s been a state senator since he won a very narrow victory over his opponent in 2008, told WKOW 27 News that he had nothing to do with the hire. It just so happens that he filed for divorce from his wife in August of 2010, moved out of their home and according to his wife was living with his mistress in Madison. His mistress used to work as an aide for another state senator on a committee Randy also “worked” on. In January of this year, she quit her job at the lobbying firm (whose clients include Americans for Prosperity; aka, the Koch brothers and Scott Walker), where she “coordinated direct mailers.” In February, she was given one of those cushy state employee jobs with all of those benefits the Republicans keep nattering on about. She is now a “limited term communications specialist.” http://www.politicususa.com/en/wisconsin-republican-mistress quote:
