Zielinski book on Walker: "Rotten; the story of Scott Walker."

I like the title a lot:

Wispolitics: Former Dem Party spokesman Graeme Zielinski said he's working on a book

about Gov. Scott Walker. The book, "Rotten: The Scott Walker Story," will be a takedown of the guv, focusing on his "lack of principles," Zielinski said. He declined to go into more detail on the project.

Right Wing Wins Again; Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Graeme Zielinski Leaves.

Graeme Zielinski will be missed. He's moving on from his duties at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to write. In the words of Dickens, "I see a vacant seat...in the poor chimney corner...carefully

preserved."

I've been disappointed by many liberals, progressives and Democrats who have criticized Zielinski for his aggressive style, and being the kind of fighter they could only dream of being. Clever and brutally to the point, Zielinski knew how to rankle the radical right and the Walker Authority. And isn't that what's its all about, getting their attention?

Instead of creatively standing up for Zielinski's comparisons, asides, and no-holds-barred advocacy of an actual Democratic agenda, he was bashed and asked to apologize for...being honest. His irreverent approach was refreshing. His biting humor and quick wit, an amazing thing to watch.

This is how we treat our best spokespeople? Where does this leave us? Here's Zielinski's sign off, for now:

TMJ4: After three-and-a-half years before the mast at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, I'm moving on. It was one hell of a ride and I'm proud of the work I've done, both before- and behind-the scenes.

It was an honor to fight passionately, honestly and with integrity for the values I love that have sustained the state and Party I love, all during some pretty momentous days.

As my Church teaches me, the rich and powerful can fend for themselves. It is up to progressive institutions to stand up for the rest of us, and that's what I intend to do as I move forward, buoyed and strengthened by the great experience of my time with the Party.

Stay tuned and be in touch. In the immediate future, I'm working on an exciting writing project which you'll hear more about soon-Cheers, GZ.

State Democratic Party whimpers, begs for Walker forgiveness over Dahmer comments.

Did I mention I hate the Democratic Party? Which is why I blog, hoping we get something back, like our self respect.

They’ve got no guts, no backbone, and no friggin’ fight when it comes to our authoritarian master, Scott Walker.

Yes sir, yes sir, we deserve punishment, yes sir master.

So it’s with sadness we’ll no longer have the pleasure of Democratic flame thrower Graeme Zielinski spouting off as the spokesperson for the party. We're starting to fall right in line. For a sample of early Graeme humor, check out my interview with him when he was with the Onion here, sometime around 1991. 

It’s funny how Republicans can’t take the heat a few humorous over-the-top comments. Democrats certainly have, from traitor, to Hitler, to Nazi’s sympathizers, to socialists, to racist, to Marxists, to killers, to…well you get the picture. It’s okay though, Republicans were just being truthful. They would have just told us to move on, that they're not going to talk about it anymore:

WSJ: Graeme Zielinski, the combative spokesman for the state Democratic Party, has been removed from that role after a Twitter rant Friday in which he compared Gov. Scott Walker to infamous Milwaukee serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer.

So Democrats should just hide the fact that our governor displays all traits of a ruthless, straight faced sociopath. This guys killing people by denying them health care. But Dahmer? Uppity Wisconsin found Walker himself using the comparison. 

I don’t like taking the role of flame-thrower myself, I’ve never been good at it, but from time to time a little edge helps the system vent. What Graeme tweeted bears repeating, just in case you missed 'em:

"@GovWalker spent more than Jeffrey Dahmer to beat criminal charges,"

"@GovWalker had better lawyers than Jeffrey Dahmer in beating the rap. Clear that he committed the crimes."

“My heartfelt apologies to the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer. Their pain is not something with which I should have trifled. And my apologies to @GovWalker for my inappropriate Tweeting.”

Take the time to read this nice article about Walker's authority over the Democrats in this weeks Isthmus by Burce Murphy. Too many people underestimate this droopy eyed emotionless sociopath. When you think about it, how can anyone as governor survive saying what Walker said to the fake David Koch?  Only Scotty.

Recall Meddling Out-of-State Tea Party Dummy told to "Get out of Wisconsin."

Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Graeme Zielinski rips National Tea Party Chair Amy Kremer to shreds, for trying to knock down voter's IQ's with out-of-date talking points. The tea party is filled with vacuous fact free ideologues like this. "Get out of Wisconsin" sums it up. This is how you talk to these whack jobs. WPT's Here and Now: You've probably noticed that they can't wait to create chaos and outrage over any questionable signatures turned in by these crazy tea party checkers. Watch this snide admission from GOPer Brian Shimming over just how they're already planning to whine over the inconsequential disputed signatures. It's the whole reason the tea party continues to pursue this madness, Walker has already lost on the issues.:
