You might remember Sen. Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) as they guy whose wife and maid were going to sign the recall petition against him and who no longer lives at the home where he is registered. Well, it get’s worse. This guy’s mistress was hired from a right wing lobbyist firm and given a state employee’s job. You know, the jobs the senator just signed a budget bill over, killing collective bargaining. Maybe in Republican circles collective bargaining happens in bed. -clip-

If you've not read the post below, read that first. Then read this. Then pinch yourself. This is actually happening. You can't make stuff like this up

Wisconsin GOP Family Values Senator Living With 25 Year Old Mistress

-Sen. Randy Hopper's Wife Tells Protesters Hopper Is Living with 25-year-old mistress in Madison-


Recall target, the silver-haired lothario, randy Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac), talks a good game about family values and is demonstrating his respect for the institution of marriage by hopping into the bed of a staffer and lobbyist young enough to be his daughter.

Protesters outside the Hopper house this week in Fond du Lac were met by his wife Alysia, who reportedly came out and told them: Hopper no longer lives there, but with his 25-year-old mistress, Valerie Cass, in Madison. Cass's position with the ironically named Persuasion Partners lobbying firm has ended as public attention drew to her extramarital, ethically scandalous, relationship with the sanctimonious Senator Hopper.

Hopper has been a close ally with Gov. Scott Walker whose billionaire Koch Brothers funded attacks on Wisconsin families is drawing international attention and widespread condemnation.

Update: Two sources in Fond du Lac close to the recall effort say the Hopper maid has signed the legal-sized recall sheet. The maid reportedly said it's likely Hopper's soon-to-be-ex wife will also sign the recall petition.

Update II: Blogging Blue reports the woman in question is a former state Senate committee staffer and lobbyist.
