Don't act like this is something new and horrible from the Dems. This has a long and rich history. I can think of one respected lawmaker, who saw that a key vote was going to go against them, and tried to hide in the State Senate's change room.. when that didn't work, he tried leaving, only to find the doors locked, but this plucky "representative of the people" fled the building by the expedient of jumping out of a second story window and fleeing the premises.
This scofflaw and horrible person?
Abraham Lincoln.
(Also, Walker's currently losing support, I'm hopeful that he's the one who folds and not theunions)
