" It&amp;#039;s the second day of delightful spelunking through the massive tonnage of penny-ante grifting revealed by the release of thousands of e-mails from the office of Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin. The delights are many, and they are manifest. There&amp;#039; are the screaming racist ones from about half his staff. In April 2010, Walker&amp;#039;s former deputy chief of staff Kelly Rindfleisch received an emailed joke from a friend about someone whose dogs supposedly qualified for welfare because they are &amp;quot;mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can&amp;#039;t speak English and have no frigging clue who their Daddys are.&amp;quot; Rindfleisch wrote back: &amp;quot;That is hilarious. And so true!&amp;quot;...In another email, sent in July 2010, Thomas Nardelli, Walker&amp;#039;s chief of staff for Walker at Milwaukee County, forwarded Rindfleisch and others a joke about someone who has what he calls a &amp;quot;nightmare&amp;quot; about turning into a black, Jewish, disabled gay man who is unemployed. &amp;quot;Oh God, please don&amp;#039;t tell me I&amp;#039;m a Democrat,&amp;quot; the email concludes. Luckily, the governor had a well-reasoned response to this. Hola, amigos, look what I have done! Que habla Simi Valley! A request for comment from Walker&amp;#039;s campaign was not immediately returned Thursday. Walker has spoken of doing more GOP outreach to minorities at the Ronald Reagan Presidential library ... And then there&amp;#039;s the war on thongs. &amp;quot;John is more concerned about having her on staff and subsequently having her Googled by staff only to learn of her &amp;#039;other life&amp;#039; out side of her medical work,&amp;quot; Nardelli continued. &amp;quot;Apparently she&amp;#039;s competent, but even the Medical Director is dismayed that she has a varied life style outside of her medical profession.&amp;quot; Walker, according to The Huffington Post which flagged the email, responded to Nardelli &amp;quot;Get rid of the MD asap.&amp;quot; 10-4, MF&amp;#039;er. And there&amp;#039;s also some nifty humor about the mentally ill people who were not lucky enough to have known Scott Walker and were therefore unable to get jobs with the Milwaukee County Commission. In the unguarded emails, other vulnerable groups also came in for criticism from Rindfleisch. She predicted that news coverage of harm to patients at the Milwaukee County Mental Health complex wouldn&amp;#039;t move voters because &amp;quot;no one cares about crazy people.&amp;quot; Unfortunately for all concerned, some people do care, and this is when it stops being funny again. Walker was in his final year as county executive and running for governor as issues at the complex demanded his attention. As with other issues, Walker&amp;#039;s county staff regularly collaborated with his campaign staff in determining how to respond to issues, including sexual assaults of patients at the complex, security lapses there and controversial remarks by the county&amp;#039;s mental health administrator that Walker aides unsuccessfully sought to suppress. Walker played an active role in how to publicly respond, even when he insisted on staying in the background. &amp;quot;We need to continue to keep me out of the story as this is a process issue and not a policy matter,&amp;quot; Walker wrote on March 27, 2010. Once again, here to present a response, is Mr. Doyle Lonegan from New York.  &amp;quot;Ye&amp;#039;re not just a cheat. Ye&amp;#039;re a gutless cheat as well.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
