Man of the people that he is, Gov Scott Walker is always accessible and eager to speak with billionaire contributors – for instance, David Koch. I wonder if every union-busting billionaire calling on Skype, because his cell phone is being washed by his maid "Maria" is greeted with the same panting ardor ? My Magic 8 Balls says "Very Likely."
While that story wouldn’t fool most people, prankster Ian Murphy of Buffalobeast.com says "He’s just oblivious generally, so it didn’t surprise me"
While it’s great fun to hear Ian Murphy describe Walker’s Waterloo, some very nasty truths are revealed. Koch-backed ‘Americans for Prosperity ‘ was working to fund a union showdown before Walker was inaugurated, and the ‘stand with walker’ site encourages every state to adopt ‘common sense reforms’ on unions. It’s no mystery which Americans stand to maintain prosperity with high-fliers like the Kochs, and willing stooge Walker proudly lists the other mean and nasty Governors who are on board to help trample the working class – one union at a time.
