Corrupt Government Title: WI Dem Assemblyman threatens to murder GOP colleague A Wisconsin Assemblyman issued an apology after shouting an obsenity-laced threat to GOP Assemblywoman Michelle Litjens. Democratic Assemblyman Gordon Hintz screamed "You are f*****g dead" after the Wisconsin Assembly voted to pass Governor Scott Walker's budget repair bill Friday. WTMJ talk show host Charlie Sykes broke the news Monday morning, asking "would Hintz have apologized or even acknoledged the comment if I had not broken the story on my show/blog this morning?" According to a report at postcrescent.com: Everyone was exhausted. We were on the floor 58 hours. (But) there is still no excuse for his comment, Litjens said. Hintz, who was cited earlier in February for violating a "city sexual misconduct ordinance" blamed the outburst on shock after spending 58 hours in debate: According to a report at The Blaze, Hintz was among the Democrats who screamed "Shame! Shame! Shame!" after the vote. Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard notes the lack of reaction by the so-called mainstream media: Despite this being reported no later than 10:43 AM, a Google news search identified that apart from Wisconsin outlets, only Fox and conservative websites thought this was at all newsworthy. As of 12:30 AM Tuesday, according to LexisNexis, no major news outlets reported this event. Closed-caption records for ABC's "World News," CBS's "Evening News," and NBC's "Night News" also found no coverage of this issue. Had Hintz been a Republican shouting an obscenity-laced threat at a Democrat, the reaction would have been much different. Sheppard observes, "Makes one think it's journalism that's bleeping dead!"
