U.S. Senator Ron Johnson has been frothing at the mouth lately, calling Russ Feingold "a complete phony" because, in Johnson's view, Feingold is an "arrogant elite" and not the regular guy persona that Wisconsinites think they know.
Meanwhile, Johnson insists he's not the arrogant elite that Wisconsinites have come to know. You see, everyone has got it all wrong: Before he went to the Senate in 2010, he spent the previous 35 years as a simple "working man." Just a good 'ol boy, never meanin' no harm.
Never mind that while Russ Feingold was in Congress he stood out as one of the few non-millionaires, while Ron Johnson has been a gazillionaire since he married plastic mogul Howard Curler's daughter, goes to Chicago to buy his clothes, bought a million dollar second home in Washington D.C., and stays in a $435 a night hotel rooms.
And never mind that in 2010, he said he was "not a gun owner" and didn't hunt. Now, just in time for the election, he's Elmer Fudd-- putting out all kinds of campaign material of him handling his 'ol shot gun. (Likely on the hunt for that wascowy arrogant elite rabbit that has been stymieing him at every )
