Yesterday Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett announced his gubernatorial campaign's first action since staging a bone-breaking attack outside the Wisconsin State Fair last year.
Barrett staffers will be collecting brown bags produced by his Republican opponent, Scott Walker, filling them with shit and then handing them out to voters.
The Walker brown bags attempt to legitimize the Republican's campaign with slogans like ""Walker + Wisconsin = jobs"" and ""Woman IS a pre-existing condition."" Barrett, a Democrat and stereotypically pugnacious Irishman, plans to use Walker's technique against him.
""This kind of ingenuity is what my campaign is all about. Jobs, jobs, jobs,"" Barrett said. ""Manufacturing, green and hand. Even shitting. That's a job I created.""
Barrett had no qualms admitting the tactic was meant to smear the Walker campaign.
""We need to prove that he's full of shit, and so are his retarded bags,"" Barrett said. ""My son thought of it.""
Barrett announced his campaign strategy outside his home, flanked by dozens of uncomfortable looking staffers eating bran bars.
Walker said he was disappointed by Barrett's underhanded tactics.
""He shouldn't do it,"" Walker said. ""I don't approve of him putting it in there.""
""That's what she said,"" Barrett responded in an e-mail to supporters.
