King Dave-O
We've been asking for quite some time if anyone's actually seen Dave Obey. We saw that he was in Iowa campaigning for another Democrat. We know he's helping Jamie Wall in the 8th. Then today, we saw this Go Nick Go post and started asking around.
We have confirmed that Obey was in the Park Falls parade yesterday waving like royalty from a fire truck. So much for the idea that he represents the working man. He's more like a Washington, DC Union lobbyist than someone who works for a living. He couldn't even walk and waive, he took a ride.
We also heard he was trying to take credit, along with Doyle, for re-opening a plant there. From what we heard, the locals weren't buying what Obey was selling. However, we're not shocked that Obey would swoop in to take credit for something he didn't do since he really does so little that actually helps us here in Wisconsin.

You have exposed a tactic Obey uses all over the district. Either the Bush administration or a local businessman will take action to award a local community some grant funds or open a business and Obey will swoop in at the announcement and take credit for it, even though in most cases he wouldn't lift a finger. That's where the "Obey brings home the bacon," myth comes from.
How insensitive of us to mention that Dave Obey didn't walk in the parade. We should remember how his knees are worn out from all the knealing and begging he does for special-interest money back in his home state of Virginia. I wouldn't be able to walk after being on my knees all week either.
(said the lobbyist while Dave was knealing in front of him, "while you're down there...")
Oh, come on! I was talking about shoe polish!
