Local Leader Has No Vision

JSOnline is reporting that Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has surgery to repair a detached retina:

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke suffered a detached retina in his right eye, causing him to have emergency eye surgery Thursday, according to a news release dated Saturday morning by the department.

The news release does not say how or when Clarke suffered the injury or where he had the surgery.

The recovery period for this type of injury is 6 to 8 weeks. The first two weeks require limited movement and his vision will be impaired, which will prevent Clarke from making any public appearances during that time, according to the information from the sheriff's department.

While I wish Clarke a rapid and successful recover, this raises two questions:
  1. Will he try to say the injury was from over a year and half ago, excusing his helping and abetting a drunk driver?
  2. How long before Scott Walker uses this excuse for his lack of vision for Milwaukee County for the past seven years?

  1. Bad form...

    Even your liberal peasants might revolt at this display of a lack of consciousness by their monarchy.

  2. What, wishing him a rapid recovery is in bad taste now?

  3. Oh, Capper, you must know I'm smiling at that question.

    Why, your wish for a rapid recovery was lovely, and sincere. Perhaps you didn't "see" what followed it.

  5. Snark? You? Well, I guess you are allowed some snark at least once (oh, that's funny). Okay, one time...deal?
