Hooooo boy.

After nearly three years, a secret investigation into alleged illegal campaign activity among Gov. Scott Walker’s former aides has closed. Walker has not been charged, and many Wisconsin liberals aren’t pleased:

Scott Walker is the Teflon Don, no question about it.

Wow, it’s been awhile since I woke up crying about what’s happened to my home state. Feels like 2011 all over again. #ragetears #Walkergate

Graeme Zielinski, who somehow landed the title of communications director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, has a history of making sensational claims about Walker. Last year, he suggested that Walker defended criminals who commit “boy rape.” Today, he took it even further:

According to Zielinski’s Twitter bio, he’s a former writer for The Onion. Too bad today’s rant isn’t a parody.

Several Wisconsin Democrats are rightly condemning Zielinski’s remarks:

And Walker, for his part, doesn’t seem to be terribly bothered:

@govwalker, when asked about tweets by @gjzielinski, said this about the Dem Party spokesman: “He’s pretty insignificant.”

— Scott Bauer (@sbauerAP) March 1, 2013

Heh.

Update: Zielinski deleted his tweets and apologized to Gov. Walker and Dahmer’s victims.

My heartfelt apologies to the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer. Their pain is not something with which I should have trifled.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) March 2, 2013

And my apologies to @govwalker for my inappropriate Tweeting.
