The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Editorial Board tells Alderman Michael McGee / Jackson McJr. that it is Time to resign… Better late than never, I guess.
All of the other arrests weren’t enough… the perjury, the affair, the threatening to kill the mother of his illegitimate child while in a courtroom, the restraining orders, these weren’t enough…
The continued racial language on the public airwaves, the threat to hang Leon Todd and to punch State Senator Tim Carpenter and the open hatred against the homosexual community weren’t enough…
Making racially charged “jokes” and and the constant use of “the N-word” on the radio and in public, and threats to throw bricks through the windows of passing cars wasn’t enough…
Having two (that we know of) identities, including two social security numbers, and changing names to get out of paying a judgment against him after a car accident wasn’t enough…
Dodging the sheriffs department for several day when they tried to serve him with one of the restraining orders against him wasn’t enough…
Making harassing phone calls and giving out the personal phone numbers of political opponents and radio producers on a competing station, on their radio show wasn’t enough…
Using his “Respect Kampaign” to promote the Stop Snitchin’ movement and calling the past District Attorney a “Dumb Ass” wasn’t enough…
But now, finally, the MJS Editorial Board thinks that there is reason enough for McGee to resign… Better late than never, I guess.
I think he needs a hug…

[...] Patrick at Badger Blogger has many examples of how McGee/Jackson kept the “interests of his constituents at heart.” The alderman has been an embrassment to Milwaukee. [...]

Well in fairness the last DA was a bit of a dumbass. Or at the very least a poor DA.
Remember though, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I guess McGee is more like a calendar, not really right but kinda close.
