Better not of signed the recall petition in Wisconsin

Heard this story on NPR yesterday. Really not to surprised of these tactics coming from the current people running the GOP. Also confirms Walker as a dangerous example of what to expect if the GOP were to have complete control in Washington.

About what I would expect from Walker, the man has no concept of morality. And I use the word 'man' loosely.

Classless act by a college dropout. Still controversial if he dropped out or got kicked out.

Charlie Pierce, a Marquette alumnus who has memorably named Walker "the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin," linked to Barry's remembrance of Walker at Marquette this way in a post well worth reading "The Wisconsin Recall Is About One Thing: No More Him":

My daughter is a Marquette grad and from what I understand, Walker and MU have both been successful in keeping the details of his departure from MU under wraps. He's a skank of the first order, IMHO.

What I just fail to see is two of the GOP hero Governors, Walker and Christie. Both operate as bullies and a my way or the highway approach to governing. Charges used by the GOP against our present President with so little to support, other then exaggerated or even completely made up accusations.

And the cheeseheads put him back in office. I spent a few days in Ladysmith a couple of years ago. I felt like I had been abducted by aliens and taken to a world with a language where no sentence could be longer than 4 words.

"I'll have a cheeseburger."
"Go get my shotgun."
My butt hole hurts."

and such...
