Cozy.
The Dec. 20 party was the second Christmas get-together at Troha’s house that Doyle attended since becoming governor in 2003, Doyle spokesman Matt Canter said; Doyle was also a guest at Troha’s 2004 yuletide celebration.
Doyle’s party appearances were acknowledged after an open records request produced a schedule that listed a “Kenosha Holiday Party,” last December and come amid intense scrutiny over the governor’s relationship with Troha. Until last month, Troha was the developer of a proposed $808 million tribal casino in Kenosha and is the former owner of a major trucking firm now at the center of a multi-state tax dispute.
The records provide “new insight into the coziness of their relationship,” said Mike McCabe, director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a watchdog group.
It’s getting harder for Doyle to claim that he was ignorant of Troha’s generosity to his campaign ambitions.
"But Jay Heck, director of Common Cause in Wisconsin, said the new disclosures contribute to the “drip-drip-drip” of information about Doyle and his administration’s contacts with Troha.”
Sounds like Chinese Water Torture! (for Gov. Drooyl)

And the WMC Mobilization Committee?
The silence is more educational than deafening.
Posted by on March 15, 2007 at 2024 hrsI’ve been saying it for a long time.
Tick tock tick tock.
Wouldn’t it be fun to be a fly on the wall of Steve Biskupic?
The canaries are probably singing.
Troha isn’t going to prison for Doyle. His casino dream is shot.
Marotta isn’t going to prison for Doyle either.
Sing canaries sing.
Posted by mickey on March 15, 2007 at 2053 hrsTroha’s ego is so big he will think that we will be able to beat any federal rap. If he is to flip on Doyle, it will not be until after he gets convicted.
Posted by Fred on March 15, 2007 at 2102 hrsFred, Troha is all about the money. He put TONS of BLOOD SWEAT and CA$H into the Kenosha casino attempt. He had to swallow hard and eat a BIG Mc$HIT sandwich (SUPER SIZE ME!!!) when he announced he was pulling out. He had paid and paid and paid and paid and paid Jimbo Doyle. He probably can’t stand Doyle but needed to suck up to him.
He’ll sing if he’s see’s Oxford in his future. BET ON IT!!
(pardon the pun).
What I am going to enjoy, is the pathetic lib tripe from here on out. Libs aren’t bright enough to take out the trash. They’ll continue to back Doyle, even when they realize he’s filthy. He’s sold Wisconsin govt. one campaign contribution at a time.

What the hell does that sentence mean?
You born-again campaign finance reformers are a real hoot. All that Doyle did was pick up the Tommy G. Thompson campaign playbook and run with it—no more, no less. It wasn’t illegal then, and it isn’t illegal now. It may be ugly, but it’s legal. Unless you are signing up for public financing of campaigns, you ain’t got game.
Now let us consider Mr. Biskupic and his particular pickle. Across the country Republicans spent the fall blowing in the ears of Republican US Attorneys—play partisan politics with your office or you draw unemployment.
So Biskupic was under incredible pressure to pin the tail on the donkey before the election and help elect Green. He’s a bright fellow, and he turned over every rock along the road looking for something, ANYTHING to pin on Doyle.
What did he come up with that stuck? Zip, zilch, nada.
Face it Owen, this dog won’t hunt. Thanks for playing, suckers.
Posted by on March 15, 2007 at 2242 hrsWally, put down the crack pipe son. Doyle is toast.
Even you know he’s corrupt. Even you Wally.
Actually mickey, wally got it exactly right.

Doyle had 12 years as AG to observe, and who knows maybe do a little investigating of, Tommy’s shenaingans.
I’m gonna guess he has a pretty good idea of what is indictable and what isn’t.
Sorry mickey you will have to go to bed hungry again.
Posted by on March 16, 2007 at 1046 hrsYawn. Pjr, you’re a moron as usual. You and Wally-gator are going to cry like babies when Doyle gets indicted. I’ll be here with that box of tissues. That BIG box of tissues
Tick tock tick tock baby.
Sorry to wake you mickey,
By the way have you come up with the solution for fixing the problems in all those “BLUE CITIES, COUNTIES AND DISTRICS”.
Or do you just want to be able to keep using them as the blunt instrument for your incoherent ranting.?
You are very quick to condemn libs for not really caring, while all you do is complain and whine about everything being the “libs” fault with nothing constructive ever being offered.
Posted by on March 16, 2007 at 1217 hrsPjr, I will repeat. where you have blue districts, cities, counties etc.... you have filth crime, rape, robbery, welfare, and mayhem. Not in the red area’s.
Why is that?
I’ll bite mickey why?
By the way here is a map of red/blue

Posted by on March 16, 2007 at 1741 hrsSo mickey, had a chance to do one of your insightful analyses of the red/blue map and the “filth crime, rape, robbery, welfare, and mayhem” you’ve identified?
Any interesting correlations?
You really get an idea of how poor a candidate Green was for Governor when you look at how Wi went in the 2004 election.
Posted by on March 17, 2007 at 0008 hrsPjr, I’m not debating the candidacy of Mark Green.
I have no interest in the hack bullshit you live with.
I’m pointing out to you, that YOUR ILK, and those you pander to, are the filth of America. Those you suck up to, those you USE for political gain, those groups that you pretend to care about are what makes up MOST of AMERICAS loser class.
You’re people SUCK from AMERICA’S teet.
You support criminals, losers and pimps.
Some of you care. You don’t. If you gave a SHIT about those your party claims to care about. You wouldn’t USE THEM.
You USE THEM.
Each and every American city is BLUE and RIFE will losers and filth. You want it to stay that way.
Your type HATES AMERICA. Everyone is a RACIST but you.
You SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!! But none of you shit heads serve. You LOVE Blacks....errrrr NEGROES, errrrr African-Americans.....errrr. but none ever rise to the top of your party.
You are phonies.
I understand you. You’re dumb. You’ve had the Kool-aid.
mickey, are you color blind?
Posted by on March 17, 2007 at 1153 hrs"mickey, are you color blind?”
I am afraid that color blindness might be the least of his problems. If mickey’s brain were placed on the edige of a razor blade, it would be like rolling a gold ball down a four-lane highway.
