"But last Friday, when I saw them also send in the big guns, former President Bill Clinton himself, against Gov. Walker, I knew I had to enter the ring, too."

9:45 a.m.: Crime expert say he was misrepresented in Walker ad
A TV ad by Republican Gov. Scott Walker that blasts opponent Tom Barrett over the Milwaukee Police Department's issues with quotes a criminology professor as saying the problem illustrates "a failure of leadership."

"The governor misrepresented what I said," he said. "My comment was about the police department strictly. Mayors don't understand these things. They just accept what their police chiefs and police departments give them. ... The governor was absolutely wrong in saying the mayor was directly responsible for this."

A cultural icon can be a symbol, logo, picture, name, face, person, building or other image that is readily recognized and generally represents an object or concept with great cultural significance to a wide cultural group. A representation of an object or person, or that object or person may come to be regarded as having a special status as particularly representative of, or important to, or loved by, a particular group of people, a place, or a period in history. In the media, many well-known manifestations of popular culture have been described as "iconic". Some writers say that the word is overused. When it comes to Norris, this is a real stretch. And, when it comes to lies - Walker is the latest known to hold the corner on the market......He was recently tagged as the most untruthful governor in the nation.
Nicely said! However, in recent times, "balance" has come to equate to stagnation, inefficiency, and ineffectiveness. Sometimes, a little expedited implementation of a platform/agenda is a good thing, as we have regularly scheduled elections to prevent too many abuses from occurring and nothing that is done today can't be undone tomorrow when it comes to government.
