14 Wisconsin Democratic state senators hiding from the cops out of state

The Wisconsin Senate's 14 Democrats did not report to work today for a possible [Tea Party-led] vote that threatened to curb unions and public worker pensions. Without their votes, the 19-14 Republican majority was one person short of the 20 members required for a quorum.

It was believed the Democrats had fled Wisconsin for a neighboring state; Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach, would only say that all 14 legislators were together and in "a very cold place."

AP said the fuzz was sent to look for the wayward lawmakers.

This has happened before, chickens. In 2003, Texas House Democrats said "Fuck You" to Tom Delay and holed up in Oklahoma.
