From earlier comments (8.23.04): HERE Reader Aaaargh writes:

It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be any online discussion of it, but Al Regnery was running for DA of Dane County Wisconsin on a law and order platform 20+ years ago. He was running behind, and his campaign stood to get a boost from an attack on his home and very pregnant wife by drug-crazed hippies.

Unfortunately for Regnery, it came out in The Capital Times that Regnery had staged the whole thing *including slicing up his pregnant wife's belly* . These people are political liars from the word go.

The fullest account was published in Penthouse magazine about 1986 or so, when Regnery came under fire as a Reagan appointee for having a bumper sticker saying "Have You Slugged Your Kid Today" while serving in some connection re child abuse. I'll see if I can track it down and send a scan to the farmer for further comment.

The Penthouse release Aaaargh mentions is the November 1985 issue. The article which appears in this issue is titled "The Truth and Alfred Regnery" by Larry Bush. The reference above to Regnery's bumpersticker can be found in an old issue of Newsweek.

Have you slugged your kid today?
Bumper sticker appearing on Alfred S. Regnery's car. Regnery was Ronald Reagan's nominee (appointment) for director of Office of Juvenile Justice - see: Newsweek, May 2, 1983

I couldn't find either article posted online. (including the Madison Cap. Times story) Anyone still have old Penthouse mags laying around the tool shed?
