Via folkbum and MAL Contends comes this little nugget:
Recall target, Sen. Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac), talks a good game about family values.But protesters outside the Hopper house this week in Fond du Lac were met by his wife who reportedly came out and told them: Hopper no longer lives there, but with his 25-year-old mistress in Madison.
No confirmation on whether the divorcing wife signed that petition to recall Hopper who represents Wisconsin Senate District 18.
Hopper has been a close ally with Gov. Scott Walker whose billionaire-funded attacks on Wisconsin families is drawing international attention and widespread condemnation.
Randy Hopper filed for divorce from his wife in August 2010, and it’s being reported his soon to be ex-wife will be signing a recall petition.
As for the claim by Hopper’s soon to be ex-wife that Hopper is living in Madison with his 25-year-old mistress, I’ve received unconfirmed reports the “other woman” is Valerie Cass, who as of this morning was a lobbyist for Persuasion Partners, Inc., a right-wing lobbying firm. According to her bio on Persuasion Partners’ website (which has since been removed from their site), prior to going to work for Persuasion Partners, Cass staffed the Senate Economic Development Committee, of which Sen. Randy Hopper happened to be a member. I attempted to contact Valerie Cass to get any comment on the veracity of claims she’s in a relationship with Randy Hopper, but my email went unanswered, and as I mentioned above, any mention of Valerie Cass has been removed from the Persuasion Partners website this morning.
However, here’s a screenshot of Cass’ bio, as it appeared this morning on the Persuasion Partners website.
I contacted Persuasion Partners and confirmed Valerie Cass is no longer there, but I’ll have more on this story as it develops.
Well, the fact remains, he is not living with his wife, but with his mistress. In the eyes of the Republicans, Democrats etc. he should be dismissed on the basis that he is still married and continuing an affair. THat is cause for dismissal.

Any good dictionary will give you ample samples of the Senators concubine. She knew she was breaking up a “good Christian Marriage. I say…………stone her, but use small rocks to prolong the shame.

Enough. We don’t stone anyone in this country, nor should we be advocating for such things.
Wow – Wondering if Zach is still having problems with the server. Seems like perhaps the comment database got hacked or something. Or…Oh I know…this is a delayed April Fools joke & everybody is pretending to be Badger Blogger posters or something.
Many of the comments in this thread are folks who found us thanks to RawStory.com and aren’t regular commenters.
Hey everybody! Locke found a conscience! Go figure!
Ok, all these people that want to make her out to be a homewrecker, adultress, etc… ummm it takes 2 to tango. It sure seems like he went along with it quite well! Don’t put all the blame on her.
Bill Clinton should not have been impeached for adultery, even with much younger women. He should have been impeached for trading government jobs with big raises for sexual favors and committing perjury to cover it up. It seems that Randy Hopper is similarly unfit.
Still, it useful to know how to get job security and a 35% raise in Wisconsin government today. Don’t join a union. Sleep with the boss.
[...] Just wow. [...]
