Hooooo 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.

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:

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.
