Dats wight, it's doz smoking wascally wepubwicans prwobobwy doinn dis to us. Twi-ing to cheat da stat of wisconsin.
If too much information is released about how state officials got the names of Internet cigarette customers, state Revenue Secretary Roger Ervin said, it may jeopardize relationships with those vendors.
