Ron Johnson reads to local kidsCapital Times

Money quote:
Turns out many of those listening to [U.S. Senator Ron] Johnson were not actual patients at Access, but children of staffers' friends who had responded to an appeal for live bodies for what in politics is called a "media opp" or media opportunity.
Ron Johnson, who ran against "career politicians," just happened to be in Madison to raise money for the Dane County Young Republicans — a real class act — and to kibbutz with the shrillest of radio screamers.
