I would think that if a single one of these tax payer funded gold-plated "Wisconsin Attorney General Brad D. Schimel" coins is used in any way related to his campaign for reelection he would have big problems. But then again this is Wisconsin we're talking about. These guys are starting to figure out that they can do whatever they want and nobody is going to stop them.

Attorney General Brad Schimel is really proud of the motto he coined for his agency:

"Kicking Ass Every Day" — or KAED, as he likes to sign off his emails to staff.

So impressed is Schimel with his mildly crude, get-tough motto that he ordered 2,000 challenge coins with the acronym on them. The 1.75-inch gold-plated brass souvenirs read "Wisconsin Attorney General Brad D. Schimel" on one side and "Wisconsin Department of Justice: K.A.E.D." on the other. The state seal appears on the medallions.

Records show the state Department of Justice paid nearly $10,000 in taxpayer dollars — $4.75 each, plus other costs — to Lexington Metal Products Corp. in Lithia, Fla., for two shipments of the commemorative coins, which they received over the past 1 1/2 years. Schimel, a first-term Republican, announced recently that he is running for a second term.

1. I just saw this in the Sheboygan Press, also.

"To hell with actual needs, *I* have to boost my ego!"

Wisconsin is one of several states being run by people so corrupt they stink on ice.
