Blogging at the Weekly Standard’s site, Mark Hemingway makes an excellent point about the Wisconsin schools and state legislature shutdown orchestrated by Democrats and their labor union supporters, considering that Democrats are decrying the prospect of a federal government shutdown over spending.

The obvious point here is that if it’s so “reckless” to shutdown the government, why have Wisconsin legislators, the President and the DNC all supported the government shutdown in Wisconsin? Not only that, they have shutdown the government by fleeing the state and breaking the law, not to mention the illegal union strikes shutting down schools and national Democrats helping to organize the angry mob descending on Madison.

D’oh!
