At least two things are quite clear from the Scott Walker document dump that took place yesterday.
1. Scott Walker can no longer credibly claim he knew nothing about the secret email system set up in his office when he was Milwaukee County executive.
2. Walker's inner circle was populated with some vile and disgusting people.
Among the 27,000 or so emails that investigators seized from the computers of convicted Walker aide Kelly Rindfleisch was a bizarre attempt at humor sent to Rindfleisch and others from an email account apparently belonging to John J. Schulze, Jr.
This is Mr. Schulze. He is a Republican political operative who has held various state positions over the last couple decades.
Schulze’s email was sent in March, 2010. The intended recipients included Scott Suder, who was representing Wisconsin's 69th district in the State Assembly at the time. Schulze refers to a fake press release that he apparently circulated on the state’s email system in 1998 and had recently rediscovered on a zip drive.
“I cannot believe I sent this over the state email system”, the author confesses, then boasts “I am one funny dude.”
What could be funnier than suggesting that participants in the state’s Welfare to Work program (W2) get jobs as prostitutes?
Decide for yourself…

Senate Staff Return from Nevada NCSL (Madison)…Today the Joint Legislative Committee on Tourism, Commerce and Public Health plans to convene a hearing on the possibility of legalizing prostitution in the state of Wisconsin. Jim Villa and Jim Emerson, two state Senate staffers who led the fact finding mission for the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), are expected to testify.
"Arrrgh! God, it hurts when I pee," shouted Villa from a ground floor state Capitol restroom. "I thought Clymedia was a flower!"
Emerson is expected to report that legalized prostitution can have a hug upside, including being a tourism attraction for the Wisconsin Dells to take the place of Tommy Bartlett's Robot World, and an employment opportunity in the form of W-2 transition
jobs.
"By the end of the trip it felt like I was hooked up to one of those milking machines," Emerson said. "I will never be able to look at ping pong balls and uneven parallel bars the same way again."
Villa said that the success of the fact-finding mission was the result of NCSL's commitment to research.
"NCSL completely kicks ass," Villa said. "I went to an ALEC conference on blowjobs and it took a week for me to get the taste out of my mouth."
Emerson noted that for legalized prostitution to truly be successful in Wisconsin, the state Department of Regulation and Licensing will have to develop and enforce strict guidelines.
"Believe me, there is a big difference between a transvestite and a transsexual," Emerson said. "I would be willing to pay a little extra to guarantee quality."
