Wisconsin Freshman Goofs on Disclosure Forms
Source: Roll Call

Freshman Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) isn’t doing himself any favors.
Duffy, already a top Democratic target, stumbled in trying to fill out a personal financial disclosure form, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which unearthed a series of irregularities.
Duffy’s overall debt was cut in half after he took office, for example. A spokesman explained that the difference was the exclusion of Duffy’s mortgage. The Congressman also forgot to include the sale of several investments. And he could not explain a bump in his district attorney salary prior to his election.
Sensing an opportunity, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pounced on the local news report, which follows another gaffe in which Duffy told a group of constituents that he’s struggling to pay his bills.

Rep. Duffy hiding his financials like Thomas does... But they are both Republican so this will be alright..

5. What?!
How does his debt get cut in half once he takes office? You'd think it would increase...repaying his campaign and all. How did that work out?

6. Premeditated financial fraud is now a "goof"? Really?
I'm harder than that on sophomores in high school trying to explain mistakes on their World History exam.


His name cracks me up, though (Sean is John) DUFF-ee. Get it? Toilet and ass? wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Is he a goer?
