Flood waters rise; Walker tweets 'Go Pack, Go'

While his fellow citizens battle flooded basements and sandbag their homes within minutes of the Governor's Mansion, this is the most recent posting on Walker's personal Twitter page:


 15 hours agoMoreAlready looking forward to a win tonight against the Raiders!

And on his official Twitter page, nothing showing him on the scene since this Thursday tweet:
 Aug 23MoreTook a look at the flood damage, visited a shelter & thanked so many wonderful volunteers. 
He did on Friday post a retweet which linked to information and a photo from #ReadyWisconsin, an arm of the state's emergency management agency, but I'm not seeing Walker with much personal involvement:
 Aug 24MoreGovernor Walker Retweeted ReadyWisconsin
Thank you to all of the volunteers helping out around Dane County who are chipping in to help their neighbors as we continue to deal with rising water levels and flooding!

I've seen him more committed to a plate of french fries or hijinx with the racing sausages.

His disinterest in what's happening in a crisis unfolding literally within blocks of his lakeside digs - - and who's sandbagging there as Lake Mendota rises? - - continues his failure to confront, and thereby enhancing, the changing climate's escalating damage to lives and property in our state, documented here.


This behavior is atypical for a Governor ten weeks from what polls say is a close election with a disaster still playing itself out in the state capitol. Is he even in Wisconsin?
