" Pratt was almost the only black person in the room at Walker's election night victory party,

[midnight]

with no reward yet in sight. Will his next gig, come April, be in the Walker administration, having shown he can do Walker's old job? "



Marvin Pratt gets another acting job -- er, interim job:

Acting Milwaukee County Executive Lee Holloway has appointed former acting Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt today to serve as interim county executive until after the April 5 general election.

Pratt previously served as acting mayor in 2004, when John Norquist resigned. If the county board confirms the appointment, he will serve until the special election to choose a replacement for Scott Walker in April.

I seem to recall his line in 2004 was, "I am the mayor and I'm not acting."

"I'm the executive and I'm not interim" doesn't have quite the same zing.
