Perhaps having a dual identity is illegal after all. This news conference today should be interesting.
McGee arrested in federal case
Ald. Michael McGee was arrested Monday by Milwaukee police on a case that is being jointly investigated by federal and state authorities, officials said tonight.McGee is under investigation for potential public corruption charges, according to sources familiar with the probe, which has been placed under seal. Further details are expected tomorrow when U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic and Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm are expected to hold a joint news conference.
It was unclear where and under what circumstances McGee was arrested, but the sources said the arrest was made earlier than planned because investigators suspected the potential for violence.
Police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz confirmed the arrest late today.
“We arrested Alderman McGee and are referring all calls on the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Schwartz said.
Michelle Jacobs, 1st assistant U.S. attorney, said she could not comment on the case but details would be forthcoming tomorrow.
Chisholm said he could not comment because the case is under seal.

The paper has more details and a bit of background, here:
McGee arrested in corruption case
Update: 11:15 am
I just have a few minutes, but wanted to post an update, there will be a press conference at 1:00pm from the Federal Courthouse. We will get some details then.
I just want to throw a few things out here, some is obviously speculation.
First, I wonder if any of my pre-election questions will be addressed?
Another thought… he is being held with a $250,000 cash bail… That’s a lot of money for a public figure. Do they think he is a huge flight risk? Even though he has no passport (remember, that is how we learned of his real name), do they expect him to leave the country? Or is this bail because of the questions that have been raised about the violence in the news stories.
Speaking of his name… His legal, birth name is Michael Jackson, even though he has been living as McGee for a number of years (fraudulently I believe), so I am really interested what name will be on the federal and state charging documents.
The radio show
I don’t think it comes as a surprise that callers to the WNOV radio show he has been hosting, became… interesting. A lot of callers making some pretty outrageous statements, Milwaukee will burn, it is all racism, they set out to “get Jesus too” etc, etc….
Expect much more this evening, after we actually know some facts.
UPDATE 1:10 PM
There are several charges of bribery and extortion after complants from several businesses in his district. The arrest was made when it was because of a threat of violence… There is still much that is sealed, this is big news and getting bigger folks.
More to follow…
Evening Update
Now that the Criminal Complaint has been released and the video of the charges being announced has been made public, we have learned several things, the most telling thing however, is that many things remain under seal, so it is still secret, but we do now know why that high bail ($250,000) has been set. The Federal charges include extortion and bribery, stemming from McGee’s shakedown of several business owners and a Federal Agent. The US Attorney made it clear that these charges are only the beginning.
The state charges appear to include the reason why McGee was arrested when he was. Like the federal charges, many of the state charges against McGee are also still under seal. What has been released from the state charges is McGee was booked under charges of solicitation to commit a felony/conspiracy and solicitation to commit a felony/substantial battery. It appears that the move to arrest McGee was taken because these threats were to happen imminently. There were also two other men arrested
Speculation
As a layman, what the state charges of solicitation to commit a felony/conspiracy and solicitation to commit a felony/substantial battery, sounds like, is McGee has conspired to get someone to commit a substantial battery, so my way of thinking is he may have tried to hire one or both of the oher people arrested to attack someone, perhaps one of these business men that were cooperating with the FBI? It was obviously a very credible threat, otherwise they would not have jeopardized their year long investigation prematurely.
I think that the most interesting news on this story is yet to be told, but when it is, you know where you can find it.
Word Warriors Radio Show
Since several people have asked, here is an update on the radio show that McGee was hosting, today, they ran the show with the regular cohost Rob Hardy, he was joined by former acting mayor Marvin Pratt and I believe that the other man was former alderman Fred Gordon. There were many calls in support of McGee and several insinuated that they were ready to “rise up” and a few very thinly veiled threats of violence.

I am sure I will miss a lot, but here are links to some of the other coverage of this story from around the Blogosphere.
Michelle Malkin is covering this nationally.
At the Badger Blog Alliance, Chris asks, Now who is going to do the McGee Radio show?
Peter has, not one, not two, but three posts so far… And knowing Peter, there will be more 
The Ol’ Broad says, I’m Shocked! (I seen her tongue planted firmly in her cheek)
Owen shares the shock, he couldn’t believe that Alderman McGee/Jackson Jr. could possible be corrupt.
Charlie Sykes has a few comments on The McGee Bust.
Sean Hackbarth says, No wonder Michael McGee/Jackson was so gung-ho for his “No Snitchin’†campaign… Note to Sean, McJackson spells it Kampaign.
James T. Harris asks: enquiring minds want to know is, who is going to fill in for Jr. on the hapless Road Warriors talk show now that he is in the poky and daddy has been put out to pasture?
Fred has plenty of good questions too.
Brian Fraley blogged about talking about McGee when he co-hosted The Early Spin.
Professor McAdams thinks: The sleazy, violent-talking, race-card playing Milwaukee Alderman seems to have finally gotten himself into a jam he can’t walk away from.
Attorney Rick Essenberg asks: What was McGee, Jr. up to?
Jessica McBride shares her thoughts.
At Milwaukee Rising, Gretchen says: Michael McGee Jr. may have been arrested yesterday, but US Atty. Steve Biskupic will be on trial right there with him.

Oops, how could I forget Tracy, my fellow Malkin co-linker: “The Alderman†has been arrested (again). Actually, Tracy is all over this, so check out The Fraud Files.
More interesting details
Chanel 12 has an interview with a business owner that was shaken down by McGee. You can read more of their coverage here.
h/t: The Fraud Files
The Riverwest Neighborhood Network has identified one of the two men arrested with Michael McGee Jr. as his uncle, Little Allen (“Al”) Stewart.
I have been wondering since this news broke, if the other man arrested, Dimitrius Jackson was related, since McGee’s real last name is also Jackson. No word on any relation yet.
McGee appears in court on state charges
Ald. Michael McGee appeared briefly before a state court commissioner this afternoon on two felony charges: Solicitation to commit a felony/conspiracy and solicitation to commit a felony/substantial battery. Due to the nature of the charges, his initial appearance was then postponed until 2 p.m. tomorrow so that he could appear before a judge instead of a court commissioner.
Several other businessmen in McGee’s district are now doing interviews with local TV outlets.
Home Sweet Home
“The Alderman” as he likes to be called, talks the talk when it comes to working with “his constituents,” but when he goes home at night, it isn’t to the reported Burleigh address, he goes to one of the luxury apartments at Trostel Square… His complaints about the gentrification of his district ring pretty hollow after learning that he is part of the affluent class participating in the reclamation of these properties.

Alderman Michael McGee Jr Arrested…
Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee, Jr has been arrested in a joined State/Federal investigation. Patrick is following the story as well, and here is the Sentinal/Journal story. A news conference is scheduled for later today. No word on what will happen….

What in that comment was any different from what was in the post? Was this trying to get attention to something? What?
May 29th, 2007 at 8:40 am
This is shocking. Even the idea that Michael McGee Jackson Jr. would involve himself in something illegal is shocking.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:35 am
The funniest part of all of this is that on the WNOV website, they show two current “on air personalities”, one of whom is suspended from the airwaves, and the other is sitting in jail awaiting federal charges on $ 250,000 bail. How many other radio stations in the US could make such a claim?
http://www.wnov.com/staff.htm
Way to “serve the public interest”, hey?
May 29th, 2007 at 9:43 am
WNOV? What’s that?
But seriously, I hope they have Mr McGee-Jackson Jr. in solitary, I mean if he was in the general population, someone might try to “kill his ass”.
Bruce this is going to be SSDD, the RACE CARD will be worn out when this is over.

I was actually going to post a fake news story entitled “McGee Freed: Federal Prosecutors elect not to file charges; Embattled supporters claim victory over principalities of darkness” but I thought people might find that confusing. But c’mon, you know it’s coming.
Just in case anyone forgot about that “news conference”:

Don’t drop the soap, Alderman. One of those “puppet masters” might creep up on you.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:09 am
The situation is analogous to many third world countries. This phenomenon is known as the “criminalization of politics”. Under this system criminals come to power through wide margins since they rally people thorough demagoguery involving race, religion or ethnicity. In some third world countries, criminals are able to win elections even when they are sitting in jail. People need to elect good leaders who can be the role models for the disenchanted in the society. Until that happens there is no hope for a better future.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:14 am
This makes yall day don’t it,but guess what.Things that make you laugh makes you cry.It wouldn’t be funny if it was yall asses on the line.God knows what is best for Alderman McGee because he is the head of our life.So stay tune to the lastest chapter of the McGee’s they is whats going on these days.I told yall a long time ago that they are famous give them that.They can’t keep a good man down for long.POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:20 am
You don’t need to go to a third world country to find someone who ran an election from a federal prison (He didn’t win, of course – good thing he didn’t represent the 6th district of Milwaukee)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Traficant
I have stated many times that I believe Mike McGee Jr. would someday become Milwaukee’s version of Jim Traficant.
We’re off to a good start.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Jim Traficant had a nice wig.

Biskupic is a great prosecutor and I can’t wait to see him throw out 1 more corrupt Milwaukee politician. In reference to mad black sister, yes they are famous. So was Hitler.

I do not understand the question. Could we possibly agree on a common language? In addition to English, I also speak Spanish and French.
Let me know which one we’ll be using, and let’s try again.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Hmmm, I was thinking a mad black woman was actually McGee/Jackson Jr in disguise. (Sounds about as intelligent) Are they allowed computer access in the joint?
May 29th, 2007 at 11:22 am
It’s a troll. No one is that stupid.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:36 am
Looks like federal bribery charges and state charges of threatening violence, JS has it posted.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:43 am
I’m pretty sure it’s a real person, in fact she seems to be obsessed with McJr. She can’t decide if she’s “keeping it real” or “mad at the world”, but clearly she wants to check out McJr’s “principalities of darkness”.

AMBS/MATW/KIR or whatever you prefer to be called, I sincerely hope your 16th child can be a little McJr. Have fun on visiting day.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:56 am
I can only assume that Biskupic and the Chisholm had Jr. dead to rights. I honestly cannot believe they would be brave enough to take a shot at the “Teflon Don of 6th district†without a ironclad case.
He is going to pound me in the — prison.
Enjoy it Mr. McGee.
May 29th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Court documents state that the charges will remain sealed so we will all have to wait a few more days it seems.
However it also says that the charges are against Mcgee, Stewart, and Jackson. And that the Feds have some incriminating wire tap info.
May 29th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Regarding Mcgee, I believe this is what Malcolm X had referred to as “Chicken’s coming home to roost.”

May 29th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Think about it….It wasn’t until I heard a bit of McGee Jr., and the reference to the “Commander” that got me curious. So I looked it up on Websters.com and got the following defination.
Commander = the presiding officer of a society or organization. Then Wikipedia.com In common usage
“Commander” may sometimes be used by laymen, usually applied to the person who is accountable for and holds authority over a group or the attempts of a group to achieve a common goal.
So then I think about Jr’s comments that they are going to “Take Over the City”, and look at these press releases…

May I quote – “The Revolution is alive and strong”. I come from a revolutionary family. Read that last paragraph on the 2nd link.
AND what’s up with the phrase POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
May 29th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Blind allegiance to someone is a sign of mental simplicity. Instead, people should be waiting to see what are the accusations and what evidence there is to support them. Then one can make informed decisions and judgements. People on all sides should be able to agree to that.
Before the evidence is heard, it’s all speculation based on personal opinion and/or prejudice (both for and against McGee). To say “I support him no matter what” or “I hate him no matter what” is ignorant. Educated yourself, learn about the case then make comments based on real information.
God’s will might be to expose McGee as a criminal and send him to prison. Or not. We will never know. What we do know is that God blessed us all with a brain, so start using it.

May 29th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
The “community” approves of black on black crime.
Well in this case at least 64% does.
May 29th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Two of the charges are “Substantial battery-intend bodily harm.” AFAIK, battery means someone actually got hit. That could account for the high bail.
(Don’t burn down his district until Friday–please? I work there and we have a big client deliverable Thursday.)
May 29th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I live in McGee’s district and voted against him in the recall election. Having seen how he operates, these new extortion and bribery charges don’t surprise me in the least. Here’s hoping he gets what he richly deserves and that the 6th district gets the new leadership it so desperately needs.
This guy’s antagonistic attitude and divisive politics have made the 6th district an entirely backwards and unpleasant place to live. We need someone to bring the community together rather than a pimp and a cheat trying to make a quick buck on the backs of the people. Kick this damn thug out already!
May 29th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Remember, what is in the federal complaint is NOT all the evidence they have. Biskupic was clear about that during the news conference. Just wait until the shake downs of the condo developers from Brewer’s Hill come out! I think he is really done this time, am I being naive?
May 29th, 2007 at 5:03 pm

It will come out that he was set up from the beginning. All yall has been out to get him. You try to arrest him and get him out of office just cus he is our hero. God bless mr Mcgee. He a true american. Where would I get my 40s if Mr Mcgee dint get those lickor licesnes.
May 29th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
I guess this will finally prove that he really WAS the Alderthug. I received information from someone inside the justice system that his arrest was because “of an imminent threat that he had made to a cooperating witness, that was to be carried out in the next few days”.
My source also said that he was being held on $250,000 bail on each of two counts, for a total of $500,000, which I didn’t see reported anywhere. They just report $250,000 cash bail. So I’m not quite sure how credible this source is.
In any case, one more thug is now off of the streets. I think that the next few days will be telling times for the people in this district. Some are expecting violent protests. Personally, I think the people in that district will quickly abandon this thug.
May 29th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Do you think Eugene the dancing machine Kane will be clucking like a chicken over this?
May 29th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
Compliments of Peter’s blog:
“a small group of people sat waiting for more information. One carried a sign asking to free McGee while another woman wore a hat that read “McGee for Me.â€
Well, I guess we know where AMBS was today.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:06 pm
Just a thought, but maybe Mike McGee Jackson Jr.s “comrade”, Hugo Chavez could pony up the bail money.
Maybe Teri Estness can bake him a cake with a “file” inside it!?
Maybe Eugene Kane can start a “Mumia” style campaign.
What the hell has Milwaukee become. It’s pitiful.
McGee gets cover and landslide re-election.
He uses the word “nigger”
He calls Senator Carpenter a faggot.
He verbally assaults 2 teen girls and calls them lesbians.
He lies under oath.
He cheats on his wife and impregnates a woman,
He lies about e-mails to her.
He threatens to “kill her ass” in court.
He has 2 drivers licenses,
He has 2 names.
He has 2 Social security numbers,
He has 2 passports??
He avoids paying a judgement of accident damage by using the double identity,
He screams obcenities at employees of Blockbuster.
He accused the Tosa Police of roughing him up.
He sends love letters to a communist dictator.
And it takes THIS to potentially remove him??????
This is the STANDARD for our city??
It’s comical in retrospect. Sadly comical.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
-L Stewart is McGee’s uncles
-D Jackson…could he be related? He may himself be a Jr. to a Sr. who is a felon.
-One of the victims of extortion is Indian or Pakistani. The McGees constantly endorsed shaking these guys down on their radio show. The “community” accepts this. If no black victims appear, or anyone who appears sympathetic to McGee backers, McGee will retain support.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Hahaha, boy this is some funny stuff. Mad Black Sister, how do you feel know that your savior is going to be sitting his ass in jail for 20-30 years? How do you feel having a role model like that? Yeah he has done great for the community, I can’t wait for him to run for mayor, oh wait he can’t! I really sitting here laughing my ass off about this, especially after all that crap you were talking about how great the McGee’s were, and now sonny boy is sitting in a jail cell! How you feel about that? HAHAHA!
May 29th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
At least now it makes sense why Junior McGee/Jackson wasn’t prosecuted for threatening his mistress’ life in open court. It would have blown this whole case.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
Jason, those who support McGee are either deluded or mentally challenged. The urban “community” of most major cities, elects representation without any clue as to it’s ability. Each CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT in AMERICA represents about 3/4′s of a MILLION PEOPLE. Whether it be Manhattan or Milwaukee, each district is roughly equal in population.
Is Gwen Moore, the BEST, we could do?? Is William Jefferson in LA., the best 3/4 of a MILLION CIIZENS could do???? Is Michael McGee Jackson Jr., the best Milwaukee’s 6th district could do???? Was there no PRO-BLACK, PRO-COMMUNITY, qualified, honest, educated, decent candidate that the 6th district could have elected? 64% voted for McGee just weeks ago. They DIDN’T CARE whether he was a scumbag or not. It was US against THEM. McGee like many before him (Rosa Cameron et al) USED the job for himself.
And we are supposed to CARE about his constituents??
McGee is/was a CON MAN. And his contituents were the ones harmed.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
I just saw on the news all the McGee/Jackson Jr. supporters. Are they kidding? Thinking this was a set up? I worry about the Indian guy who said he gave McGee/Jackson $2000.00 for a license and “protection”. His life is in serious danger. You really wonder if some of the super gang banging thugs are on McGee’s payroll. If the other two guys arrested are McGee’s only possee, he is a sorry ass. Does anybody NOT believe that this is an uneducated thug who gets by by playing the race card, intimidating white people, threatening his own voters and business? No wonder no one wants to open businesses in the 6th district.I heard he threatened violence to people who did not vote for him and that his supporters picked up people at home and took them to the polls for their votes. Will he really get jail time? Will the “Commander” rally his “commandoes” once again. I heard someone was sending the McGee story to Readers Digest for the That’s Outrageous section. Milwaukee is a mess. Where are the real Black Leaders? There are many fine black folks trying to do good- why don’t they speak out? Funny we didn’t hear from the NAACP this time. Or will they say this is a witch hunt too. Will someone wake the Mayor? Please? And to the sister, get a reality check. He is a thug, lies, extorts, threatens, inpregnates, and doesn’t go to his job as an alderman. Sister, Sister open your eyes. Make being black the only thing you have in common with McGee, don’t add ignorance and stupidity.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
The sad truth, is that Michael McGee Jackson Jr., will go to prison, his children will be raised by various BABY MAMA, and so it goes…….
May 29th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
$2000 for a license? That’s pretty cheap. Seriously,Leroy Jackson and a mad black sister, if you really exist, you are really a stereotype of blacks. Like I said, I don’t think you exist, but if you do exist, how sad.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
What I really want to say to you people Patrick won’t let it go through.But may God be with you fools out here when Bin Ladin get yall asses.

May 29th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
I am still waiting to hear Eugene Kane on this issue. Here is the column Kane wrote last year on Michael McGee http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=428823
He compares McGee to John Street, the mayor of Philadelphia. Ironically Street himself was involved in a corruption case.
May 30th, 2007 at 1:16 am
That man is not a indian he is a over sea ass person who came here to get over.These over sea or out of space people come here to set up shop.Do shit to help the poor or should I say dumb ass people who fall for they bullshit.Show poor ass people who never seen 2000 dollars at one time and they think they are rich fools.Then after they get all the dumb ass people the world, is going to say BOOM.Thank George Bush 1&2 for that.We have George Bush Sr.&Jr.,&Michael McGee Sr.&Jr. who is the worst.Ronald Reagan played dumb then died do the math people.He started all this shit in 1991.

Eminent Domain has some information on how the prosecution will move along over the next month or so.
May 30th, 2007 at 6:48 am
42-Scott: If the statute of limitations hasn’t worn off, I hope the relevant court tacks on some charges for that incident. I just think relationship violence doesn’t get taken seriously enough; if threats made in front of a courtroom full of high-credibility witnesses don’t get prosecuted, what hope does an average woman getting phone threats from an ex have?
50-AMBS: Actually, it’s all Lyndon Johnson’s fault. And “people from India” are often referred to as “Indians.” It could be more confusing–British media refers to “people from India” as “Asians.”
May 30th, 2007 at 10:36 am
You people are way too obsessed with this guy. It’s really quite humorous.
May 30th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Sister read some history. Lyndon Johnson made the black male head of household obsolete by making the government the family caretaker. Black men no longer needed to support their families since the government sent a check every month. Welfare was actually designed for widows of war who had no ability to get employment. Johnson turned welfare into a way of life. And Ronald Reagan? You should not even say his name. If you are angry about the welfare reform program, you need to look at the beloved Bill Clinton. It was his idea and he allowed WI to make welfare a work program. Blaming presidents who are all Republicans is just stupid when the Dems have been the real evil doers. And besides I am sure McGee and McGee jr. have seen a whole lot more money that $2000.00 at one time. For them that’s chump change. Look at the money McGee Sr. got from OIC. Do THAT math.
May 30th, 2007 at 11:45 am
D-C you just asked an illiterate troll to “do the math”.
Democrats have created an urban nightmare. They have pandered for power and this is what the results are. The “community” has multiple generations of failure and no education. More than half of the “community” never finishes high school. I’ll repeat MORE THAN HALF OF THE “COMMUNITY” NEVER FINISHES HIGH SCHOOL. Baby daddies don’t take care of their children, and the government (you and I) are expected to pay the freight. The Democrat’s solutions? More taxers, more programs, more hand outs and more promises to the “community”. And of course the “community” appreciates the taxpayer.
Yes, it’s known as THE GREAT SOCIETY!
McGee is typical.
May 30th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Timmy the Lib: this is not a blog where the biggest story in local politics this year will go overlooked.
I just did a quick check of your blog and noted that you appear to have a stalker like obsession with Jessica McBride. When I looked a couple minutes ago, 7 out of 9 posts on your front page were about her.
I find it humorous when the best most libs can do is make little snipe comments. Comments with no real substance. But in Tim’s case, you can’t blame him for posting a comment here. Otherwise no one would ever see it.
May 30th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Hey, Roland the clueless righty. What’s truly amusing is you think I give a rats ass what you think. Bye bye.
May 30th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Don’t be so hard on Timmy, he rides the short bus.
Libs are wierd, they ignore filth because they are filth.
But someone of class like Jessica pisses them off.
Wierd.
May 30th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Hey Tim: Not only the biggest story in local politics this year, I think it has the potential to be Milwaukee’s most pivotal news story in probably a decade (pending how it all
“shakes down”, ummm I mean, “shakes out”), if some dude who has a 20 year old “Bill the Cat” cartoon as his blog icon doesn’t grasp that, I think the rest of our lives will go on.
Why don’t you go back to posting animated photos of Jerry Falwell being sodomized by a Teletubbie (see “older posts”, page 2 of his blog) because that is what real Americans go to blogs to discuss. After all, you have so much at stake in the well-being of Milwaukee, living in the remarkably challenged urban area of… Brookfield?
Dude lives in Brookfield and doesn’t see why corruption in Milwaukee is a huge news story. Now that is hilarious.

He lives in his Mom’s basement. Tim is quite the ladies man.

Hey Mickey … I’m married and retired from having to work before the age of 50. What’s your excuse you lame ass? You still working at Mickey Ds and doing your sister?
Plus, you got kicked off Owen’s blog so you come over here … in fact you’re the ONLY one ever to be booted. That’s quite an achievement.
I’ve met Patrick and he’s a nice enough guy, but your being here does not say much for the company kept.
And to Brucey: There are much bigger issues than Junior McGee in this world. It’s amusing that your short attention spans have been focused on him so long.
Ouch, you don’t like Bill the Cat. I’m so hurt.
One last thing: That you pathetic knobs think Jessica McBride has class is a real indication of your limited brainpower. The woman is a runaway wreck of lies, distortions, bad grammar … she’s a sorry excuse for a *journalist*, and she’s a racist.
Patrick, don’t worry. I won’t repeat this performance again and I apologize for any vulgarity at your place. I will not respond to any additional comments.

Mickey:Who’s the troll? Tim is at your ass Ha!Ha! It was Tommy Thompson with that welfare to work program.And it did’t work because our people still don’t have jobs out here.Plus the check that they are sending these people on w-2 the system is messed up.$673 can only pay people’s rent and they make these people go out and work 8 hours jobs and at the end of the year they can’t even file taxes.That $673 ain’t free money people get out and work just like other people and that ain’t fair

I never defended Jessica McBride’s grammar or ability to host a talk show, in fact, if you do a bit of an archive search you may find that I cited her fake interview with Kane as “the reason AM stations go to low power after sundown”. Please don’t lump me in with the McBride defenders.
I did however admit that even I, someone who historically leans liberal on most issues (I live in Madison) after listening to the much Cuprisined “missing audio”, thought if they were really going to associate her firing with that audio, it was pretty weak. They should have just explained that the numbers weren’t there to keep a live warm body at the mic when most people are reading books to their kids and left it at that.
See, I can make a post about something other than… that one family, you know, the “only father and son ever to hold the same elected office” in the history of Milwaukee.
Why do you have to call me “Brucey”, that’s pretty lame. I didn’t call you “Timmy”.
I focus on a ton of other things. I mow my lawn (while obsessing about the McGees) at least three times a week

Timmy, are you crying?

AMBS,
Are you really that f*cking ignorant, or do you just play the part. Its sad to see someone that stupid, who lives in a fantasy world. I guess it really doesn’t matter, because a dumb ass like you will never be able to make any sort of change to this world. Which is good, because we already had McGee ruining this great city and he was some what intelligent. I would hate to see what you try to do. Idiot!

From the JSONLINE.”McGee’s attorney, Glenn Givens, said Milwaukee police and prosecutors are confused about street language and, at worst, McGee was part of a plan to commit misdemeanor battery.
“You have to look at who is using language and what community they come from before you make any determinations,” Givens said.”
Well if the street language only suggests that he wanted to commit a misdemeanor battery, then lets let him go and he can resume his job. Are you kidding me, what a f*cking joke. Yet, people like dumb ass AMBS support McGee. Wonderful.

[...] Badger Blogger has a summary of all the drama going around. In the early hours following Michael McGee, Jr.’s arrest, he appeared to have pulled a Martha Stewart. From the Journal Sentinel on Tuesday: The [federal] complaint says that for at least the past year, McGee has traded his power for cash, extorting from $500 to $2,500 from each of several business owners. [...]

Uh, AMBS I hate to burst your ignorant bubble but Tommy Thompson could not have created W-2 without permission from Bill Clinton. Tommy Thompson gave the largest piece of W-2 to a “minority” agency who did a great job until the black leaders got greedy. There are many OIC people who never went to jail that were gulity.
And believe me there are plenty of jobs but no one can pass 1) the drug test, 2) the reading and math levels, or 3) have a high school diploma. I know of over 90 good entry level job openings( over 13 per hour w/ benefits) looking for qualified people to hire including the inner city workforce. If you are still receiving W-2 who’s fault is that? Some people want a job but they don’t want to work. Stop having kids and get an education and understand you are not going to be the company VP. Entry level for those entering the job market. Hello? Also people on W-2 do not have to work 8 hours per day. Part of the day can be education and part work experience.

DC, I don’t disbelieve any of what you’re saying because I’ve heard the same thing from businesspeople in several states for the past few years.
Yet all these “undocumented workers” with no diploma, no English, minimal reading in Spanish, and various levels of drug use are, by all accounts, finding plenty work in the U.S.
Hrm.

I do volunteer work in his district (I am white) and Thank God the majority of the people there do not have the opinion that AMBS has. Most people are happy because they won’t have to live in fear of his violence and corruption any more. AMBS you could really take a lesson from some of the people in your community who are trying to better themselves with job and school training and purchasing their first homes. I suggest you close your legs, get off your back and stop popping out babies, get off your lazy ass and do something to change your life. It isn’t the job of the community to support you because you choose to be a ho and have lots of kids with different men. Someone should “fix” women like you so you stop popping out babies. Boo Hoo W-2 wont pay your rent. poor you. Get an F***ING job like everyone else and pay your own damn rent. You should have spent more time getting an eduction and less time laying on your back, then you wouldn’t be in this situation.
I hope Mcthug becomes someones girlfriend in jail. He stuck it up the A** of his district so now it is time for payback. Mikey Don’t bend over
