Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is hosting a fun new game: spot the union shills pretending to be normal people in Russ Feingold’s latest misleading campaign ad. So far out of the six ‘plain folks,’ two have been identified as being union corporate suits:
That’s Joanne Ricca, AFL-CIO Legislative and Research Director. And this…
…is Linda Sadowski, who works in “the office of the President.” What are you willing to bet that the others are likewise part and parcel of the special interest groups that are now starting to worry about losing a pet Senator? Well, there’s an easy way to find out. Below the fold are the other folks featured in the ad: possibly someone here might recognize both them and their place on the AFL-CIO management hierarchy? – Because we all know that Russ Feingold doesn’t know anybody real…
Here you go:
…OK, OK, that last one’s a ringer: he’s not on the formal AFL-CIO org chart. He’s just that guy currently losing to Ron Johnson.

zachv (Diary) Monday, August 23rd at 3:53PM EST (link)Is a familiar looking woman. When I saw the ad for the first time the other day, I vaguely recognized her. She must do campaign ads for other Wisconsin Democrats, or visit Madison a lot.
Who knows when the non-talk radio Wisconsin media picks up on this?
The dude with the glasses and beard looks like
knitwit (Diary) Monday, August 23rd at 11:02PM EST (link)the California Nurses Association and union thug who attacked a camera man at a gathering not too long ago, and was caught on film by the second person filming. Don’t remember his name; thought I saw the coverage on another blog….maybe Hot Air, or Michelle Malkin? I don’t remember where, just that they tagged him as a union schill and administration bigwig. Sorry if I got the site wrong; don’t mean to short anyone for their hard work and reporting…..Does anyone else remember seeing this?

Not the same union thug...
roscopico (Diary) Monday, August 23rd at 11:50PM EST (link)Though likely a union thug, the noses are different. I’ve been wrong before, but these are two different (if altogether probably exactly the same) people.

IJB Monday, August 23rd at 4:53PM EST (link)Expose Feingold’s “regular people” as the insiders they are.
That will put some tarnish on Feingold’s supposed “honesty” and “integrity”…
I love this site. Good Job!

tex41lb Tuesday, August 24th at 6:00PM EST (link)What does 555555555 {nt} mean?
The meaning of '5' and [nt]
qixlqatl (Diary) Tuesday, August 24th at 6:23PM EST (link)I might not be the best person to explain, but ’5′ means agreement, more ’5′s means stronger agreeement.
[nt] in the title line indicates no text in the field. if you don’t put that in the title, you can’t post a comment without text in the field

I believe "5" is referring to a HIGH FIVE
ywhyvon1 Tuesday, August 24th at 9:31PM EST (link)therefore “55555″ is really going over the top and “55555 and 5″ or “55555+5″ is to infinity and beyond(for all you Buzz Lightyear Fans:) )

epaulzy (Diary) Monday, August 23rd at 8:08PM EST (link)I know Feingold is in a heap of trouble in Wisconsin when he brings out these types of ads so early in his campaign. He usually holds off on these til the end so there isn’t time for his “normal people” to be found out. This will play well in Wisconsin…….against him. I think Johnson has hit a chord with voters, especially independents, and has him on the run. I figure by October he’ll be calling Johnson bad names because he had the audacity to start his own business and be successful at it. Wisconsin is getting very interesting indeed. Could be a banner election for conservatives in our state.
He already is
redtillimdead (Diary) Tuesday, August 24th at 12:15AM EST (link)By starting rumors the Johnson dropped out of high school and saying that he married into the business. The Dems are saying his father-in-law owned a huge plastics business and he spun of PACUR for Johnson and his son. I think the lies backfire on him.

epaulzy (Diary) Tuesday, August 24th at 1:54AM EST (link)Let him attack him with lies. I think Johnson is smart enough to take him down with the truth.
I would love to see the photos TSA have on their computer and compare.

dambama Tuesday, August 24th at 6:24PM EST (link)You are pulling our legs right? If they support Russ Feingold there must be something wrong with them. They are not normal people by definition.
