The peace of the cheese-worshippers in Wisconsin is once more under threat because, uh, what has Koch Brothers’ vanity project Scott Walker done this time? Oh, wait, it’s not him for just this once. It’s a different Koch-aine addict, of course: recently and barely re-elected Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser allegedly tried to choke another justice in her chambers after she asked him to leave. Justice Ann Walsh Bradley told the AP that he attacked her after an argument over the court’s ruling upholding the anti-union law of Governor Koch-lover, which Prosser supported like a good little drone. So be warned, Bradley, if you or anyone else want to criticize the Koch directives. They will just go ahead and flip the “identify and destroy” switch in Prosser’s chip. We are entering Phase II, America.
From the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism:
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in an article published late Saturday, reported that the incident took place in Justice Bradley’s chambers on June 13, the day before the court issued its decision upholding a bill to curtail the collective bargaining rights of public employees.
The sources who spoke to the Center and WPR said an argument about that ruling culminated in a physical altercation in the presence of other justices. They say Bradley purportedly asked Prosser to leave her office, whereupon Prosser grabbed Bradley by the neck with both hands.
The dissenting opinion called the ruling upholding the anti-union law “disingenuous, based on disinformation,” “lacking a reasoned, transparent analysis” and laden with “numerous errors of law and fact,” which all sound about right. [Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism]

Oh the damn librul media on this! You simply could not escape this story this weekend, especially on the Sunday Blows. It did not involve a weiner, or a Democrat.
Ah, the media! NY Daily News headline: "The Madison Strangler" in 4…3…2..
That's what happens to Kock-blockers in Wisconsin.
Walker didn't go Wayne Brady on anyone, but he did try to do this: holding his budget signing ceremony at the home of a known tax felon.
Walker admin moves budget signing from tax felon's home
(Daniel Bice is everything disingenous Newspaper Guild member-in-good-standing Tom Kertscher is not.)
(That's right: the PolitiFact crew is union. Let's see how long Journal Communications allows that. (Frankly, I am surprised Charlie "Three wives" Sykes hasn't cowed his employer into chopping the Trotskyites in the Guild.))
so what is WI thinking of their so charming teatard gov? is the recall a possibility (yes, i know it can't be until he's been in office a year and what a LOT of damage he can do in that time)? does he still have a support base? is WI sorry yet?
The recall is going to go ahead. The energy is still there to get signatures starting November (I think they can collect one year after the election, but cannot submit them 'til one year after the inaugural). & it's funny: the street I live on, it's a block north of the Goobner's pre-Goobner's-Mansion address, & about two blocks up from the intersection of my street & the Goobner's, there's a "Recall (Scott) Walker" sign on the lawn of a rather riche manche. I cannot imagine his family likes having to drive past that, on the way to the interstate.
Aren't these the same people complaining about "union goons?"
Yes, and this is their idea of a judicial gag order.
The word is "thugs". Makes them sound scarier.
Yes, they are.
However, I have yet to see any of them crawl out from under their rock to tell us how Prosser is really just a leftist plant put there to make conservatives look like crazed scumbags.
A Dirty Prosser?
It left Bradley cross-eyed.
Is Prosser a poser?
He does like to Vogue (if what they say is true).
hey weej, it looks like our "p" nesses are neck and neck.
we are one with the Wonkette
The spirit of Alvin Greene remains.
Prosser: Sometimes ya just gotta choke a bitch!
~
How can we be outraged about this when mean librul Fox News asked Michele Bachmann if she is a flake? Won't someone think of the REAL abused woman here?!
Kochalytes Choke – new bumper sticker for Teatards into garottes
Kochalytes Untied – new bumper sticker for dyslexic fascists
Kochalytes Unzipped – new headline & subsequent bumper sticker in 3, 2, 1
I'm sure Fox news will be all over this, or not.
FAUX Nooze: Justice Ann Walsh Bradley assaulted David Prosser in her office.
~
Haha. Bradley's Neck Attack's Prosser's Hands; Prosser Sues
I heard she also head-butted his fist.
One account claims she put her fists up. & the natural, self-defense posture to such a threat &/or "threat" is to get one's face right up in the other's face & choke her.
Because you want your face closer to the person holding up their fists.
Prosser DID try to spin it that she ran toward him and his hands 'may have' touched her neck. Then I guess she wouldn't stop leaning against his hands, which he couldn't move for all the shock.
They'll think it's a knee slapping gag.
Fox reports Justice Bradley threateningly ran neck-first into Prosser's coincidentally thrust-forward and tightening hands.
Didn't see your ref to this b4 my newer comment. But, I'd like to add that he's old so it's possible the arthur-ritis in his hands was acting up as she bum rushed him.
Excalibur!
Hell, I'd be surprised if any news program that's not on PBS or NPR covers this, especially when there's still sleazy little details to wring out of the dead toddler trial.
I haven't heard it on NPR, either. PBS? This story is not really their style, is it?
I don't know for sure. I was just naming the only two major American news outlets that usually don't get obsessed over crap like the whole Kaylee (or however the hell you spell that name) thing.
The pen might not be mightier than the sword but it's definitely mightier than "Choke A Bitch"
First it was chickens, now it is judges, this man needs help.
What he needs is a fondue enema.
As a regular chicken choker, I can tell you that it is perfectly healthy behavior. Justice-choking, not so much.
Hot cheeseheads!
Oh, come on. I'm sure he was merely sizing her for a nice pearl necklace.
Overruled with extreme prejudice.
Crack rock is not the kind of crack David Prosser is smoking, if you know what I mean.
Is Sarah Palin ok?
Levi slipped into chambers & gave the justices wine coolers?
I'm sure she is the real victim here.
Saw a funny tweet yesterday: Palin must look at Bachmann and feel just like the Jonas Brothers feel when they see Justin Beiber.
So much awesome!
The State GOP is trying to Nickolaus our dime.
Questioning this asshole will qualify as "job killing".
"Is David Prosser gonna have to choke a bitch?"
"You know that's why they call him
Big PoppaLeather Daddy…"And choke the chicken afterwards.
Hey, ummm, something wonderful happened in new york just the other day. Just thought I'd point that out since the wonkett doesn't seem interested.
By not reporting it, Wonkette is taking stance that it is not a matter of momentous change but a matter of course. Of course, marriage rights should be extended to same-sex couples. & they were. But let's not go letting New York get a big head over it. Especially since Iowa beat them to it.
Since when is Wonkette in the business of reporting wonderful events?
At a blazing average of 1 post per hour during the work day, it's probably not fair to castigate Wonkette for not putting the NY gay marriage thing at the top of their list. After all, this is America, and robed violence trumps legalization of butt-sex/carpet-munching.
But isn't teh buttsechs pretty much Wonkette's mission statement?
Normally, I'd be in complete agreement. But, if I have to suffer through every inane Palin post, or if I have to see pics of Weiner's weiner from every possible angle, then I feel that it is appropriate to see the queens celebrate in Queens.
Also, too, are you a flake?
But it happened over the weekend, when Wonkette usually shuts down; and now everything's been said.
Wonkette is taking the day to get dressed up in drag and run off to Waterloo for the Michele Bachman Prez run announcement.
This is why we need a Mumbai bureau, or at least a Bangalore call center. Why can't we have anything nice?
He was probably just trying to grab her hair to drag her to his cave.
We call that move "the Ugg the Repug".
Ugg want woman!
That's Ugg Libel!
Ugg is prolly my favourite internet commenter since the demise of Leon Jenkins, the Midnite Rider.
Latrell Sprewell approves, and PJ Carlesimo is headed down to the sympathy card aisle at the Hallmark store right now.
I'm sure the choking was consensual.
In Texas, we were taught to "lean back and enjoy it" if we were raped or beaten. Prosser is a Texan?
Really?
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/chronicle/583...
The Dingo is referring to this gem from our past. Fortunately, Ann Richards kicked his ass.
Ann Richards is greatly missed. She of the comment about Geroge H.W. Bush, "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
It's a "lemonade from lemons" that's brought out by some male Texas legislator every ten years. Never spoken by someone who has been raped, beaten or sexually abused.
Well, then! The *obvious* cure for that is to rape, beat, and sexually abuse every Texan male legislator.
Ahh, I see. Here in the greater NYC area, this approach to being raped was notoriously advocated by the late, great Tex Antoine. Notice the "Tex?"
Maybe, but that statement also applies to Sarah Palin's Alaska.
The guy has been verbally abusive to his female fellow justices before, so this shouldn't have been a surprise. Why the hell did you reelect this creep, Wisconsinites?
Oh, what's that? You didn't, but the election was blatantly stolen, and nobody did anything about it? Sigh. We're not really living in a democracy anymore.
that vote fraudster was probably just a democrat plant trying to make republicans look bad and also insane.
It's what DemonRats do.
Here's how I would explain it if I was Prosser's spin doctor:
You two are in a healthy relationship where erotic asphyxiation is a intrical part of love play. It affirms trust.
Just say that lie over and over again and again and Faux Noose watchers will believe it.
This would align with one of the theories of the U.S. Supreme Court that Jon Stewart's America — the Book put forth.
Don't worry; I'm sure they'll "find" 7,000 witnesses saying she actually choked him.
Open excel, click File->New->Witnesses
This is s shocking and important development that all Americans should pay attention to because— HEY LOOK, WEINER'S WEINER!!!
Bitch was attacking him with her throat and he was merely defending himself. He's the real victim here people! Just ask him. Or any of the wingnut's who are defending him.
If anything, *she* should apologize to *him*, just like that paultard who trampled that lady's head, for freedom.
A deep-throated apology to that man is in order for what she's done to him.
Ike Turner was black… so no.
Considering he won his reelection on a platform of "I will destroy the bitch," is anybody really all that surprised he went Gibbons? Luckily for Bradley, she wasn't the right bitch he wants to destroy, or at least she's lower on his personal Destroy-a-Bitch List.
Civics lesson of the day: elections have consequences.
This story needs a State Fair "Whack-a-bitch" game.
Whoop WHOOP whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop!
Prosser: She was asking for it.
Damn you. I was going to say that, with those sexy-sexy robes, she was asking for it. If only she had been wearing a burqa, Prosser would not have been tempted to seduce her with his "you're so hot, lying there unconscious/dead and disrobed" move.
[edit: And for those of you in D.C. who might want to raise awareness that fuckers like Prosser are much too common, don't forget to participate in SlutWalk D.C..]
You forgot the "uppity bitch" part.
Prosser: She was asking for it – Uppity Bitch. Fixed.
Beware my cheese eatting Supreme courting pimp hand!
David and Chuck be talkin', you best be listenin' bitch.
That's just how they roll in Cheezistan.
At least he didn't put cross-hairs over her seat.
So it takes 2 weeks to find out when a Republican Kochhead chokes a liberal, and nothing is done about it, but the Obama administration fires Shirley Sherrod in less than 24 hours after a Breitbart video comes out. Sounds about right.
Sherrod already had a two-strikes count: black, & female.
Prosser, meanwhile, is working the count: white, Republican, closetted… He's going to walk.
the liberal media works in mysterious ways…
Obama can't throw a cigarette butt on the lawn without the lynch mob showing up on his doorstep. Imagine the fifteen-minute orgasm they'd have if some right-wing skank disagreed with Obama and he choked her.
BOTH SIDES DO IT.
Greta's from Appleton, same as Prosser; she prolly knows the guy, &/or his family. Why is she commenting on this?
Biased.
Thank you, I knew that was coming!
~
Like fucking clockwork, these people.
I've seen pictures of this Prosser; talk about a pencil-neck. He doesn't look like he could pull a sick girl off the piss-pot. She should have kicked his ass right then and there, I'm pretty sure she is capable. Choke liable, fer sure, too. Oh well, stay classy, Wisconsin!
Used to be, when a guy laid a hand on a woman, chances were good he would get his ass kicked by someone.
Has Wisconsin gone full Old-Testament?
Everybody in the room was a fucking lawyer fer Chrissakes; and you expect manly behavior?
I'm thinking that David is of an age where dementia isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Self control issues are cropping up again and again with him. I just hope that he doesn't go full Gomer Pyle and unload a clip in the liberal wing before redecorating his office in alzheimer's grey matter.
Never before has redecoration sounded so good to me.
But wait a minute, I thought Rethuglicans weren't violent at all? They don't really "mean it" when they put gun sights on people's photos, the same people who later get shot in the head, nor do they really mean it when they try to strangle them. Lighten up libs!
It was only a neck-hug, because he cares so much!
Obviously she put her throat in his hands in the hopes of making him look bad.
He was merely trying to point to the surveyors' marks on her neck.
d'oh!
Even the good porn?
Why all the fuss? Choking grown women is fine, as long as you protect them when they're embryos. Plus, women aren't citizens, just ask Scalia.
Perhaps we should all travel to Wisconsin to serially choke this guy, since choking isn't that big a deal.
Choking a judge would violate several felony codes: assault, threatening a judge, etc. Choking a bitch is just America's Pastime.
Wisconsin allows women justices?
Why don't we just lock Greta Van Shitstain in a small room with Judge Prosser for twenty four hours. (Better to get the juices flowing put wide screen TV's on the walls showing "24 Hours" continuously, all seven or eight seasons.)
Republicans prefer their vampires blood-sucking, not arithmetic.
Prosser, for one, is unabashedly Team Edward.
Prosser has sullied the name of one of America's finest law proffs. For that, alone, he should be disbarred. Then he can pursue a more appropriate calling – Grand High Executioner.
He's not related to *that* Prosser, is he?
Who knows? Dean Prosser was from Minn. Judge 'choke the bitch' Prosser is from Wisc. MN, WI they all sound alike and on those long, cold winter nights a cousin looks mighty appealing.
What report? Just like the tens of thousands of union protesters in Wisconsin don't deserve any near as much coverage as a teabagger rally attended by dozens, and millions of people participating in anti-war protests all over the world don't deserve any coverage whatsoever, Republican misbehavior is something to be ignored; it's not like a Democrat who say jaywalked, then like a married Democrat who flirted with some women he would have to be hounded out of office.
“disingenuous, based on disinformation,” “lacking a reasoned, transparent analysis” and laden with “numerous errors of law and fact,”
Pffffft! Why so hung up on technicalities?
and they'll know – we are Christians by our Koch….
Yep. Killing mockers, that's what those commie communal-nesting Cuckoos do.
To be fair, he was really, really drunk, and thought her neck was his dick.
PENIS PIX OR IT DINT HAPPEN !11!!!1
Of course he choked her. Ann Walsh Bradley was wearing a long, loose fitting judicial robe–any woman dressed like that is just begging to be choked.
You guys are killing me, here.
Well, it's two different female judges. I suppose we could interpret it as what's-his-fuck sending a mafia-style warning to other judges. THIS IS HOW WE DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO STEP OUT OF LINE
Yeah, I saw that. Still, I'd say he has a bit of an issue with anger management and with women. I would not weep if an angry lesbian rollerderby team beat him nearly senseless and then castrated him with a rusty spoon.
Where is Diamanda Galas when you need her?
Hey — that Diamada Galas/Nick Cave collaboration was some good shit.
What, he couldn't just put a dead fish in her mailbox?
In our post Weimar Merka, she's lucky she and her family weren't rounded up or shot outright by "patriot" thugs. Of course, its only Monday…
Duh duh duh duh Koch-aine….
Keeton is a poser to Prosser.
So how is this Koch-aine administered? I'm guessing rectally.
I guess we should be grateful he wasn't packing?
Concealed carry *is* legal in Wisconsin nowadays thanks to our forward looking, mindful of the consequences legislature and Scooter.
You all have no appreciation for a great legal mind. After all, Brown v. Board of Education didn't get decided until Chief Justice Warren threaten to chock any dissenting Justice.
Supreme Court Justice Homer J. Simpson
They aren't even trying anymore, are they?
Mr. P is claiming that she actually attacked him and as she came charging at him with fists flying he raised his hands in a defensive manor and accidentally came in contact with her neck…..HE IS THE VICTIM HERE!!!!!!
Wait, Sarah gets to be a victim too!
Justice: "Why, I oughta…." http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/...
I'm writing a murder mystery, so this is childs' play for me to figure out. Prosser was under incredible pressure and Bradley's resistance caused him to snap.
After all, he didn't say what he was thinking: "The Koch's bought 7,000 votes for me but I had to swear on the lives of my innocent children that Walker wins this bitch. Thugs are parked outside my house RIGHT NOW and you want to talk about the LAW!?!
Actually, that's kinda what this not-so-great schlub said too. He accused the two women he's assaulted of bullying him into threatening them and attempting to kill them.
Per Family Guy: "Regan Smash!!!"
That is all.
Not Ugg, just an admirer of her/him.
can't wait for the 'baggers to circle the wagons around this creep.
Forget John Galt. Who is David Prosser?
Funny how our downfister is not all over an actual case of a violent attack based on politics given how concerned they seem to be about all the imaginary ones "the left" does all the time (in their "mind").
Maybe they are waiting to be told how to feel about it. Or they are still crying over fellow teabag Richard Poplawski was found guilty of multiple cop killings and is probably going to be killed by Obama's goons for "no reason".
Damn mainstream media making a big deal out of a big deal.
First, she must press charges against this violent mysogenist.
Second, his buttons are easily pressed. We can get this guy doing something really bad on camera, and destroy both his career and his life.
I say it's time for Mitt Romney to put those big muthafuckin hands to good use.
That's wrong on so many levels.
If this law doesn't get passed, the terrorists win.
Now, if we could only think of a name for it…
As a fan of The Knack, may I suggest Sharona Law?
I've not read through the comments, but suffice it to say, I'd bet the term "choke a bitch" is used quite liberally.
