What do @GovWalker and Jeffrey Dahmer have in common?

Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) March 01, 2013Hooooo boy.
After nearly three years, a secret investigation into alleged illegal campaign activity among Gov. Scott Walker’s former aides has closed. Walker has not been charged, and many Wisconsin liberals aren’t pleased:
Scott Walker is the Teflon Don, no question about it.—

Wow, it's been awhile since I woke up crying about what's happened to my home state. Feels like 2011 all over again. #ragetears #Walkergate—

Not surprised republicans think Scott Walker should be a presidential nominee. Corruption, child incitement, bilking $ from vets etc. winner—

Graeme Zielinski, who somehow landed the title of communications director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, has a history of making sensational claims about Walker. Last year, he suggested that Walker defended criminals who commit “boy rape.” Today, he took it even further:
.@GovWalker spent more than Jeffrey Dahmer to beat criminal charges.—

.@GovWalker had better lawyers than Jeffrey Dahmer in beating the rap. Clear that he committed crimes.—

According to Zielinski’s Twitter bio, he’s a former writer for The Onion. Too bad today’s rant isn’t a parody.
Several Wisconsin Democrats are rightly condemning Zielinski’s remarks:

And Walker, for his part, doesn’t seem to be terribly bothered:
@govwalker, when asked about tweets by
@gjzielinski, said this about the Dem Party spokesman: "He's pretty insignificant."—

Heh.
Update: Zielinski deleted his tweets and apologized to Gov. Walker and Dahmer’s victims.
My heartfelt apologies to the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer. Their pain is not something with which I should have trifled.—

And my apologies to @GovWalker for my inappropriate Tweeting.—
