The Wisconsin election is just a scene in the future XXX feature of Post Citizens United

It is time again — like it ever ended — for the media and the talking heads to make mountains out of mole hills that are the Wisconsin political landscape.

I am talking about the Wisconsin recall election in which GOP Gov. Scott Walker kept his seat after spearheading a number of anti-public union measures. The election made Walker only one of three U.S. governors to survive recall. The 2003 gubernatorial recall of California Democrat Gray Davis put “The Arnold” Schwarzenegger in office almost 13 years after the action-figure bodybuilder-actor starred in the movie “Total Recall.” I don’t think that movie was about recalling a governor from office. Got Irony?

It seems everyone has a different spin on the Wisconsin election, why Walker won, what if anything does it mean to this year’s presidential election? And nothing really solid lies out there which is only logical since, like a fine wine, it takes awhile to sort out just what elections mean. I mean, what the real consequences are of an election other than the fact someone wins and someone loses. We got that, Jack!

Depending on your political bent, a couple of factors do seem to have gained favor among the pundits. Fox News is excluded because theirs is a point of view clouded by red state-colored glasses. First of all, the Wisconsin election is really meaningless when it comes to determining the outcome of the presidential race. Also, the electorate is predisposed to throwing out a pol only when he does something involving misconduct in office. I don’t know too much about that. This is a really good analysis of how Gray Davis lost to “The Governator.” If the second proposition turns out to be true then perhaps those pissed off at Walker should have waited. The criminal justice system might just do their dirty work for them.

The book really won’t be wrote for sometime regaling the ultimate effect of the Wisconsin recall election. It will have to be a chapter in “Welcome to democracy Citizens United style.” You know, if you don’t have your own politician, buy one! In other words, the obscenity of what our political system has become is just now being written.

Wait for the book, or no, wait for the movie to come out. You will likely to find in the back sections which are out of public view, or in one of those parlors where you feel you need a delousing and a shower upon leaving. It ain’t “Debby Does Dallas.” It’s not “Sex In The City.” It’s money. Very, very dirty money combined with ultimate power. Who needs Viagra, right?
