This is so sweet! Wisconsin Republicans want to help Governor Scott Walker avoid making an idiot of himself ... again:

A week after Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker received a prank call from blogger Ian Murphy, who posed as conservative billionaire David Koch, two Wisconsin legislators introduced a bill Monday that would ban prank calls, reports the Badger Herald.
Republican state Sen. Mary Lazich and Republican state Rep. Mark Honadel said their measure would forbid deceiving the call’s recipient into believing the caller is someone he or she is not.

The kicker?

The bill’s authors deny any correlation between the proposed law and last week’s false call made to Walker.

Uh huh. The timing is just a coincidence. That's about as believable as Walker's claims that he's not union-busting.
