"I was sick to my stomach."..(That the WI -14 were given a hero's welcome upon return to Madison).

I was there--est at 120 thousand, all cheering. It was awesome and inspiring. And he calls it sickening. I am sickened by Fitzgerald's comments.

....Has Scott Fitzgerald made peace with his 14 Democratic colleagues?

"No," he says. "I just still have a real distrust of what they're up to, like I've never had with the other side."

Scott Fitzgerald is still perturbed by the welcome the Democrats received from adoring crowds when they returned to the Capitol.

"I was sick to my stomach when I picked up the paper on that Sunday morning and saw they were given a hero's welcome here on the (Capitol) Square," he says. "I was sick to my stomach. I think what they don't understand, maybe they'll never understand, is that they trashed the institution of the state Senate. We have a Senate policy manual, Senate rules, statutes and a constitution. I've been lectured since the first day I was elected that that's how this body has been run. That we live and die by the rules."
