Republican assholes are at it AGAIN.
Bruce Fealk, a blogger and political activist in Michigan, has apparently been a thorn in the side of Joe Knollenberg (R-Of Course), who is currently running for re-election. At a recent stop to do a little meet and greet with the common people, Fealk asked Knollenberg about his votes for keeping troops in Iraq and against SCHIP. Knollenberg’s tactic is to simply ignore Fealk.
But Knollenberg’s Chief of Staff Trent Wisecup is not quite so diplomatic…in fact, he lets loose with a barrage of insults that show just how nasty and dismissive he views anyone not toeing the Republican line…either that, or he’s just overdosed on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. You just know this is exactly what most of these politicos are thinking, only Trent’s not smart enough to clam up in front of a camera.

Trent Wisecup, chief of staff to Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich.), he was busy blowing a gasket on YouTube and berating an anti-war protestor for following around the congressman with a video camera.
ReplyDeleteIt was not a pretty moment, and Wisecup was mocked by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann for his generally unhinged behavior.
Wisecup followed up his on-camera performance with a long recitation to The Crypt of what makes a “true American,” as well as posting comments on Fealk’s own blog.
Well, it seems that Wisecup has now taken a paid leave of absence from Knollenberg’s office, and it’s unclear when he’ll be coming back.
“He took a leave of absence,” said Steven Betz, Knollenberg’s field rep, of Wisecup. Betz was unsure of when Wisecup went on leave, but it was about a week after the encounter with Fealk.
Let’s hope he gets the anger management training that he needed…maybe a course or two in Constitutional Studies would be helpful as well. We just want you better, Trent.
