On “Sunday Insight” this morning, right-wing squawk radio host Charlie Sykes was discussing public opinion on whether public employees should pay more towards their health insurance and pension benefits.

I was recently given the opportunity to sit down with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Mr. Trumka was very cordial and positive and had plenty to say about the state of the union and what started in Madison and has blossomed throughout the country and the world. Mr. Trumka gladly took all of our questions [...] Have you heard? Conservative groups are calling this week “National Marriage Week,” though a more accurate name would be “National Same-Sex Marriage Week.” However, in honor of all those “family values” conservatives out there, I think we should call it “National Charlie Sykes & Newt Gingrich Third Marriage Week.” Earlier this week Charlie Sykes breathlessly “broke” news that he had a secret recording of Milwaukee County Executive candidate Chris Abele describing himself as someone who supports “lefty” causes at this month’s meeting of the Democratic Party of Milwaukee County.

The state GOP [...] Cue up the right-wing outrage brigade, this time in the form of right-wing squawker Charlie Sykes, thinks it’s newsworthy that Sen. Feingold used a fictional name in his most recent TV ad. However, as Jay Bullock notes over at his place, perhaps Sen. Feingold’s campaign used a made up name in the ad because of [...] From the SEPAC blog comes news Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker will be appearing on WTDY’s Sly in the Morning radio show this Tuesday, March 16th: Madison area leaders and members should note that radio host Sly will have gubernatorial candidate Walker on his program on Tuesday, 3/16 at 8:35 a.m. to quiz him about [...] |
