Allah:
What sort of emotional damage did this guy do to these people, first by signing the collective bargaining bill and then by stomping them in the recall, that they would resort to this to try to find “dirt” on him?
I’m not even mad. I just want to hug them and reassure them that the Walker presidency won’t be as bad as they think.
“There is a pattern in Scott Walker’s career where he gets caught knowing about illegal activity and then tries to blame it on others. Walker needs to stop ignoring legitimate questions from the Wisconsin and national press and explain what he knew and when about the illegal activities happening in the County Executive Office literally only feet away from his desk,” American Bridge President Brad Woodhouse said.
In 1988, Walker wanted to become president of the school’s student government, known as the Associated Students at Marquette University. He was running against John Quigley, a liberal student, in a race that became incredibly contentious. Election rules said that presidential candidates could not begin campaigning until after they registered, which started on Feb. 3.
Walker, however, was caught campaigning on Jan. 24…
As punishment, the campus elections commission prohibited Walker from campaigning until Feb. 4, 7:00 p.m. — 24 hours after other candidates were officially allowed to begin. In response, Walker said, “I found no fault in their decision. … All it does is limit me for one day.”
He started campaigning again on February 4 at 11 a.m., eight hours before he was allowed to. So I guess that makes scandal number two.
Incidentally, the election for college president was one of the last he’d ever lose. He lost again in 1990 when he ran for state assembly but then won an open seat three years later and hasn’t lost since — assemblyman, Milwaukee county executive, governor, and then the recall. (He ran briefly for governor in 2006 but dropped out early.) No wonder liberals feel nostalgic for his Marquette days.
Seriously, what’s the strategy behind pushing a story like this? I can spitball all sorts of theories but none of them are convincing.
At least they have his college records.
Puffington Host is as pathetic as it gets.
Remember when going to back to Clinton’s sexual predation was too far back and it was “history”?
Are they sure this is the right Scott Walker?
There was a TV documentary about a singing team, the Walker Brothers.
The TV media guide consistently claimed Gov. Scott Walker was one of those brothers!
LOL!

LOL!
Didn’t 4 students get jello in their eyes during a food fight he was supposed to have monitored? Disgraceful!
