TAYLOR CAMPAIGN RACES AGAINST TIME
By Michael Horne
Sen. Lena Taylor has sent an e-mail to supporters asking for their help in her “uphill battle to become the first woman and first African American to serve as Milwaukee County Executive.”
In order to make her uphill battle a success, she will need more than financial support to beat “George Bush Republican Scott Walker,” who has raised four times the money as she.
That’s because the Taylor campaign will also have to invest in a time machine if she were to become the first woman county executive. The honor belongs to Hon. Janine Geske, Distinguished Professor of Law at Marquette University. Geske [Marquette Law, ‘75] served as interim county executive from February 28th to May 9th, 2002, an era still known as the “Golden Age of Milwaukee County Politics.”
The exec job was not Geske’s only bout with interimism: according to her curriculum vitae, she also served as Interim Dean of the Marquette University Law School in 2002 – 2003, an era still known as the “Golden Age of Marquette University Law School.”
A MESSAGE FROM FORMER INTERIM COUNTY EXECUTIVE GESKE
Dear Mr. Horne,
Thank you for your kind words on your blog. Rep. Taylor would obviously be the first elected female county executive, but it is nice to know that someone remembers my brief tenure as county executive. I really feel privileged to have had the opportunity to serve people in Milwaukee County during that time.
Janine

Where in the World is Jessica McBride?
What we have here is truly, “Failure to Communicate”
She seems to have gone the way of fellow right wing activist mover and shaker Todd Robert Murphy.
Remember Todd (my mother named me Todd Robert)?
Kingmaker, avid fund raiser for political insiders, panel member on the Belling Sunday morning show, a non indicted associate of many involved in the Bielinski “affair.” Some believe he was NGRR (Not Guilty by Reason of being Republican).
But back to Ms. McBride. I wonder what reason she gives the fertile young minds she fills with unbiased knowledge for her sudden cessation of blogging?
This, an election year, ripe with topics for columns full of her wit, wisdom, wishing, wondering and whitewashing but little from the Mistress of Spin but an occasional Henny Youngman one- liner accompanied by a link to someone else’s work.
John McCain goes from impossible recipient of the Republican nomination to the man that lost to the first African American President of the United States and Ms. McBride is not to be heard?
No comment on voter fraud/voter ID, Walker vs. Taylor or Gableman vs. Butler from the Mistress of Spin?
Truly, the silence IS deafening.
GO LENA TAYLOR!!!
