The Bowzer says Cowles will need to get a job August 9
Jon "Bowzer" Bauman of Sha Na Na just took the podium and congratulated Hansen on his win.
At the end, he projected Nancy Nusbaum would in her race against Republican Rob Cowles, and sang to him the chorus from his 1950s doo-wop classic “Get a Job.”
Bauman told WisPolitics that he joined volunteers in making calls for the Hansen campaign and was in Oshkosh to help out the King campaign. He said he will continue to help out through August 16.
Bauman, who has been active nationally in Democratic politics, told WisPolitics that the GOP's plan of blaming the country's problems on regular working people would backfire on them.
He stressed the significance of electoral battles in Wisconsin, and motioning to the crowd, said that while Wisconsinites are among the best people, “this is the wrong bunch of people to get upset.”
