This week's chutzpah award goes to Calumet County (Wis.) District Attorney Ken Kratz. He not only disgraced his office and abused his power by harassing a woman with his sexting; he preyed on her when she was at her most vulnerable -- during the prosecution of her boyfriend (by Kratz!) for abusing her. Yet he plans to fight plans by the governor to remove him:
Kratz's attorney Robert J. Craanen said his client would have the option of contesting removal from office in a hearing. Craanen said he would argue that other district attorneys have committed more serious misconduct related to withholding evidence and kept their jobs.
Ah, the old "bigger scumbags than me have gotten off" defense. Start learning to keep it in your pants, man -- your texter, I men
