Doyle is a politican with no backbone, no leadership skills and no where to go. Obama doesn't want him in Washington. He'd probably make a lousy lobbyist, too. I expect he'll serve out his term, and some other clown will take his place. No matter the party, they're all Bozos on that bus. But, unlike some people who claim to know all the deep, dark secrets, I only know what I read in the papers. Funny think about those papers: They usually get it right. Anyone can have an opinion. Having a true fact is devilishly difficult.

DO as I SAY; NOT as I do.

It's fairly common to use college kids as part of internships, ext. I'm just surprised the journal is even taking on an endeavor to expose political corruption. There has been countless stories over there in the past decade where the Milwaukee journal has been NO WHERE in reporting the rampant corruption that exists not just in state government but in their own community. Take for instance the pension scandal a few years back that shocked Milwaukee residents when it FINALLY broke (I say finally because the scam was know by many for years). You have the cities water treatment plant dump MILLIONS of gallons of untreated sewage into Lake Michigan every time it rains (since the rocket scientists did not separate the systems in the billion $$ deep tunnel). Amazingly every time there is a major dump, the Journal is no where to be found. Yet if someone is seen throwing a rock into a river they make a HUGE story about that (no joke).

They have major problems over there. Circulation has fallen off a cliff. Advertising is plummeting, and the whole operation is on the verge of bankruptcy. Mas layoffs have all ready occurred, as I noted in my initial posting. Perhaps now with things so bleak, their operation start to do some actual reporting over there.

rexkramer, So true, the press is so out of touch

The credit card receipt is insufficient. Who says those $5000 hotel bills don't have a $2000 cash advance on it? He needs to come clean on this. His arrogant attitude is a bluff to cover up for some fiscal shenanigans in my opinion.

The journal sentinel must be in pretty bad shape if they're using college kids as pawns in their attempts to crucify elected officials. The media will say anything as long as they get attention for it.

No documentation? What about the credit card receipts they have, most businesses accept credit card receipts without questioning it.

I wonder which would prompt louder cries of incompetence: a governor missing a few receipts for travel that benefits the state, or a governor sitting at home doing nothing while the economy collapses around us? Looks like you've made your decision. Personally, I'd prefer my elected officials actually do something to fix this mess.

Where was all the column space devoted to Scott Walker's "official" travels? Didn't the JS give the County Exec a pass for the same thing?

Looks like the all the democrat posters are hiding. You people voted for this guy and now you are all hiding. Defend this clown. I am suprised none of them are on here blaming President Bush for this, or just getting away from the point and bashing republicans without the usual facts. Come on that's the MSNBC way, no facts, just bashing.

To paraphrase Nixon, if the governor does it, it's not illegal.

WOW; I guess after the ax fell at the Milwaukee Journal (huge layoffs across the board the past year) some of the reporters have actually started to go back old school, and actually INVESTIGATE things, and not just offer political spin on issues.

Perhaps if they are as good as Kass, and a few from the Chicago tribune, they will blow open the rampant corruption that exists in the Doyle administration just like they did with Blogo in IL. Corruption of course runs rampant in almost every Governors office across the state. Nice to see some reporters actually start to look into it around here!

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE EVERONE HAS SAID IT HE MUST GO THANK YOU FOR HELPING THIS STATE FAIL GOV DOYLE

jimmy d doing something unethical? no way!!!!!!!!!!!!

rexkramer - Soooo true!

Well why should he feel like he has to present any documentation when our own president will not show his birth certificate and prove he was born an american citizen!!!

No receipt, no reimbursement. Quite elementary business practice, is it not? Though we are not talking about a "business" are we! Still, no documentation of money spent, absolutely no reimbursement!!!

Why would he feel as though he has to account for anything? The vast majority of the media and a good share of Wisconsin taxpayers haven't held this crook accountable for anything in six plus years.

Personally I think he should have to account for all of his travel expenses...heck I would have to for any businees or even tax purposes...what makes him so special that he dosen't ? And why not follow the state policy...sounds like some wrong doing somewhere and he should be held accountable.

I think Doyle is a tool who is going to get voted out of office come election day
