The Return of Chvala

This should be entertaining.

Former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Chvala has returned to public life — as a Web-based political commentator.

The role on WISC-TV’s Web site, which debuted Wednesday, is Chvala’s first venture into the political spotlight since he pleaded guilty in October 2005 to two felony counts of misconduct in office and violating election laws.

Since then, the 53-year-old Democrat has remained largely out of the limelight, working as a consultant after being stripped of his law and real estate licenses.
