Charlie Sykes: for recalls before he was against them!

WTMJ right-wing squawker Charlie Sykes, talking about the 2002 recalls here in Milwaukee County:

“Businessman Michael Cudahy derided the recall supporters as a “lynch mob,” but outsiders who saw only the anger misunderstood the depth of the outrage. Supporters were neither puppets nor radicals: they were taxpayers who had raised their families in Milwaukee, bought homes, paid taxes, and played by the rules all their lives. They remembered when Milwaukee was known for its efficiency and integrity, and were offended at the insult to both their intelligence and their integrity.”

Predictably, Sykes has come out as a vocal opponent of the effort to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who Sykes has made a career out of carrying water for.

While his flip-flop won’t earn Sykes another Pulitzer Prize “nomination,” it will earn him an early nomination for Blogging Blue’s “Hypocrite of the Year” Award.
