1. Not the audio, but here's the text.
One of his most famous gaffes came as we debated in this state whether or not we'd build Miller Park for the Milwaukee Brewers. Talking to an audience outside of the 5 counties that would be assessed a sales tax to pay for the stadium, Thompson told them they should support the deal, as they wouldn't have to pay for it, anyway. Refering to Milwaukee, which many parts of the state see as a money hog, Thompson said, "Stick it to 'em!" 620 am WTMJ still plays that quote.

2. Tommy is and always was an asshat
among other things. By luring him to Washington Shrub certainly did a big favor to the state of WI.
