At 11:00, We Find Out Just How Crazy JoAnne Kloppenburg Is

This will be fun.

And appar­ently I may be the only one who might hold Tom Foley – the Wis­con­sin Lib­eral Blogosphere’s “Best Legal Mind” with a sus­pended law license (Just fin­ish you CLE work already and pay your dues pal) — to task for his pledge he’d join the Wis­con­sin GOP if Klop­pen­burg files a suit.  For the record Tom, most Wis­con­sin or National Repub­li­can Oper­a­tives I know couldn’t care less that you’re gay.  In fact, if this out­ing by a left-wing group was cor­rect, the old Oppo Chief at the RNC (before he was sacked in May 2010 for being a com­plete and utter jerk, or so I’m told) may be gay.

Heck, I don’t care that you’re gay Tom.

Just tend to think you’re a jerk; I’m sure the feel­ing is mutual

The cam­paign for state supreme court chal­lenger JoAnne Klop­pen­burg said she would make an announce­ment at 11:00 a.m. Tues­day on a pos­si­ble legal chal­lenge against the results of the state-wide recount in the race for Supreme Court Justice.

She had until the end of Tues­day to decide whether to take legal action after los­ing the recount to incum­bent Jus­tice David Prosser.

Klop­pen­burg asked for a statewide recount after pre­lim­i­nary fig­ures had her los­ing to Prosser.

Brian Nemoir, cam­paign man­ager for Prosser, says the recount has been an exhaus­tive process and it’s time to move on.

“If they do file a suit we will fight that suit with all vigor.  It’s unnecessary.”

The recount results were cer­ti­fied last week show­ing Jus­tice Prosser beat­ing chal­lenger JoAnne Klop­pen­burg by about 7,000 votes.

Sources to 620 WTMJ radio talk show host say Klop­pen­burg will indeed con­cede the race.  We’ll know at the top of the hour if they are correct.

No doubt Foley’s sigh­ing in relief and hop­ing that Sykes got it right; no doubt the first time in Foley’s mind.

UPDATE II: Politico is report­ing their own sources are con­firm­ing the Sykes report.

UPDATE III: Open blog, insert foot.

As Tom has pointed out, I appear to have libeled him. Most likely on the gay com­ment, and for that I sin­cerely apol­o­gize for.  Maybe over the past cou­ple of years of skim­ming over Tom’s posts on gay mar­riage and his crit­i­cisms of con­ser­v­a­tive Chris­tians on homo­sex­ual issues, I mis­took his pas­sion on them as a piss-poor assump­tion that he was gay himself.

I hon­estly meant no harm or mal­ice from it.

My mis­take, and I apol­o­gize for it, as this quote from one of Foley’s own posts, which was passed on to me shows — I am really frickin’ wrong.

I don’t get the obses­sion with homo­sex­u­als, which seems to be a fea­ture of both fun­da­men­tal­ist style Chris­tian­ity and polit­i­cal con­ser­vatism. Per­son­ally I don’t think about gay peo­ple too often. Chris­t­ian con­ser­v­a­tives will often tell you they aren’t so much con­cerned with gay peo­ple per se, but rather their focus is on “homo­sex­ual acts.”

Maybe that’s why I’m not a con­ser­v­a­tive Chris­t­ian because, trust me, homo­sex­ual acts are about the last things I care to focus on.* It makes lit­tle sense to me why self-proclaimed anti-homosexuals would want to focus on homo­sex­ual acts because the only peo­ple who should be focus­ing on homo­sex­ual acts are, well, homosexuals.

So again, Tom, my sin­cer­est apol­o­gizes.  I AM AN ASS.
