State Rep. Gordon Hintz apologizes for comments (speech, vote, Wisconsin)

[nightflight]

Rep. Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, called Rep. Michelle Litjens, R-Winneconne, Monday morning to apologize for his comments that Litjens described as containing an obscenity and the words “you’re dead.” Last week, he accepted responsibility for being issued an ordinance violation for visiting a massage parlor in Appleton that was the subject of a prostitution sting.

He gave one speech on the house floor that made it to Youtube. Somehow I don't think the story is about him--how about the hundreds of thousands of protesters in Wisconsin? You have an example of a state representative behaving badly. How does that represent the entire debate in Wisconsin? It doesn't. He sounds like an idiot. And?
