Commentary Update for April 8, 2002: Jim Young, Dems Dumb Plan, Dumb and Dumber

Dear Friends of Commentary:

Green Party candidate for Governor Jim Young is the guest on this week's Commentary. He did answer a few questions for the website back in February (http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/palmeri/44Y.htm) and in the interview he expands on those points.

I should say that Mr. Mather and I just had a great time interviewing Ed Thompson last week and Young this week. As third party candidates, they feel they have nothing to lose so they are quite candid and engaging. I found them both refreshing, to tell you the truth. When the major party candidates show up, I guarantee you they will be more guarded, less willing to take stands, and more likely to blow smoke at us.

In other news, the Madison Capital Times had an interesting editorial the other day on the Democrats' "Dumb" plan in response to Governor McCallum's even "Dumber" one:

As a tribute to Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Chvala and Republican Scott McCallum, I was able to get Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to come forth with a dumb and dumber tribute to these "leaders".

Best,

-Tony
