Strange bedfellows say "Veto the budget"

It's an unlikely pairing, but both the liberal Capital Times and conservative blogger Brian Christianson are telling Gov. Jim Doyle he should veto the entire state budget passed by the Republican-controlled legislature.

The Cap Times argues policy, calling the GOP budget "the most serious assault on public education this state has seen in many years."

Christianson argues politics. Doyle and the Democrats need a little juice, he says (actually, he says Viagra), and vetoing the whole thing would cause disarray in the GOP ranks. "Doyle simply rolls a stink bomb back under the tent and then steps back to watch the chaos; before stepping forward to define what 4 more years of Jim Doyle will look like," he says.

Well, it certainly would liven up the summer.
