I would like to suggest a new name for Gov. Doyle.

After reading about the SBC donation/payment to Gov. Doyle's campaign fund at Boots&Sabers I had a thought we need to drop our pet nickname for Governor Doyle "Diamond Jim" and start calling him "Boss Jim and his Wisconsin Version of Tammany Hall". Boss Jim would work for a shorten form. How many questionable donations have to be uncovered before we can say this is a confirmed trend. William Marcy Tweed(Boss Tweed) would be proud of the system he found in present day Wisconsin.

I ask you, could a Republican Governor survive the MSM firestorm, if he had to explain the donations/ alleged result of that donation from the:

Potowatommi money = Never ending gambling compact and right to play what ever games they wanted.

WEAC money = Well to make it short, what ever WEAC wants.

Adelman Travel money(only applicant to give money)= Contract for 10,100 airline tickets for state employees.

SBC money = the telecommunication group they belong too gets a UW contract.

At this time, this is just a short list of ALLEGED pay for play incidents involving Governor Doyle.

So I give "Boss Jim" and his go to the front of the line passes. On sale now.
