Cue "For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow" and wait for the standing ovation. Are you still waiting? I suggest you sit down now. Scott Walker arrived as the conquering hero fresh from the battle fields of Wisconsin where he showed those union people a thing or two! Scott had become accustomed to pats on the head and more tangible rewards for his part in dousing the union movement, and standing fast on collective bargaining.

Obviously he wasn’t expecting the reception that he got. There were harsh questions, and a recitation of his ‘sins’ including the embarrassing conversation a delighted Walker conducted with the doppelganger "Koch brother," and oh – so much more!

Walker genuinely seems stunned. He thought "they really, really liked" him, to borrow from Sally Fields.
