McGee “potential”…. For what?

Racist Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane weighed in today on the conviction of former Milwaukee alderman Michael McGee (who sometimes used the name Michael Jackson when skirting laws).

Ashanti Hamilton, you make me sick.

I held out hope that Ashanti Hamilton was going to be one of the good guys. A guy who represented his constituents with integrity, and demanded the same of his colleagues. I was wrong.

How many more ways can “The Alderman” break the law?

Following his lengthy history of in-your-face law-breaking, Milwaukee alderman Michael McGee Jr (also known as Michael Jackson, depending upon the day and the crime being committed) has been intimidating witnesses from jail.

Our fine, fine alderman said this
