Scott Walker just got a fantastic deal on some oceanfront property in Nebraska.
I usually try not to post on the same thing that ten jillion other people have already posted on. But when America’s Favorite Asswipe gets punked, what’s a boy to do?
So I gave it a little bit of a twist!
You probably know about this already: A telephone prankster, Ian Murphy, called up Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, pretending to be David Koch — aka Scott Walker’s owner/pimp/puppetmaster. Let us tune in earlier to the relationship!
1) Walker sees the statewide protesters of his draconian “repair” bill as ”just” public union people, their families , Madison liberals, and out-of-staters.
2) You learn how unmoved he is by 73,000 Wisconsinites who came here from across Wisconsin to fight his bill on Saturday.
3) You know he’s arrogant enough and insulated enough from reality to just accept a call from a supposed “David Koch”. He’s very smug. Maybe a little too comfortable.
4) He is still a preacher’s son. No swearing. No denigrating terms. You may have wanted to catch some trash talking dirt. You may have thought that just by trash talking him you’re hurting him-getting under his skin. When I hear that he doesn’t stoop to swearing and slurs, I now know that he’s just as strong as I am in that department.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Trash talking so you can demonize the “other” doesn’t work.
Having a vision does. What’s your vision? State it. Go there.
5) You know this is going to have to ratchet up as high as it can if Wisconsin people are going to win. When the rally is getting national coverage, many times it’s because he’s getting coverage. We need help on getting national coverage that the Wisconsin rallies are about
* maintaining a middle class in Wisconsin and in the United States
* on preserving education funding for our kids,
* on preserving rights for workers for generations to come
6) We’ve already had an enormous show of in-state protesters. That needs to double and be documented aggressively in media.
7) Governor Walker is still not a Czar. He needs the support of his Republican legislators. The pressure on them needs to amplify tremendously. They need to know they are going to lose their jobs.
