Smell Test Police

It just doesn't smell right, said Jay Heck, executive director of the campaign reform advocacy group. Just because no laws were violated doesn't mean it's OK. It still has the appearance of being improper.

This, regarding the on-going dust-up over Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker's Harley ride beyond the county border interpreted as a gubernatorial campaign parade --

I tend to agree with Heck, however, just who is the arbitor of such smell tests? A judge, jury, attorneys, or Wisconsin voters?

Inappropriate appearances can't be adjudicated by the courts, if so, then 80% of Summerfest would be convicted for displaying their boxers, the tattoos (in places my wife rarely reveals to me), their piercings (credit Janet Jackson for making this nearly passé).
