The Rude Pundit - Very Brief: Shut the Fuck Up, Scott Walker

[meegbear]

(Wow, where the hell did this day go? Anyways...)

When asked by noted Fox "news" chief blonde Megyn Kelly about never having graduated from college, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, a man who looks like he's constantly getting a blow job from an enthusiastic schnauzer, could have taken the high road and merely brushed off any criticism. He could have said that it wasn't right for him and then encouraged others to get an education. He could have done that. Or he could have been a total twat. Guess what he chose?

"That's the kind of elitist, government-knows-best, top-down approach we've had for years," Walker said. "I'd rather have a fighter who's proven he can take on the big government interests and win." First off, what the fuck does one have to do with the other? And, once again, going to college ain't elitist. Sitting there from a position of power and wealth and saying Americans shouldn't get an education actually is pretty goddamned elitist.

As if that wasn't dumbass enough, he added, "I think people want to judge what have you done lately." Yes, just like no one paid attention to Bill Clinton's affairs, George W. Bush's military record, or Barack Obama's neighbors. No one judges you by your past.

Shut the fuck up, you fuckin' uneducated yokel.

Suppose you were an immigrant who had just landed on America's shores. If you picked up The New York Times in the past week, you might suspect that you had entered a time machine and catapulted forward to the year 2017. You'd probably ask (in your native language), "Who is this President Scott Walker that the Times keeps talking about?"

In the past two weeks, Gov. Scott Walker has become The New York Times' muse; it is covering him as if he already occupied the White House. In fact, to the national media as a whole, Walker has become the ultimate curiosity — a Republican governor from a blue-leaning state that actually practices the conservatism he preaches — and yet these Midwestern rubes keep electing him!

But the Times specifically has hoisted Walker to the stage, poking and prodding him as if he were a three-headed heifer for sale at the State Fair. When Walker chalked his proposed rewrite of the University of Wisconsin's mission statement up to a "drafting error," the Times kicked into high dudgeon, calling the proposal "ridiculous."

But even more hilarious was the fact that the original Times editorial condemning Walker's drafting error referred to the governor as "Mr. Scott" throughout. Drafting error, indeed. Evidently Walker's cuts are so deep, they even eliminated The New York Times' proofreading department.

The clumsy attempts to smear Walker didn't end there. Days later, Times columnist Gail Collins used her poison pen on Walker, accusing him of cutting teacher jobs in 2010 — the year before Walker took office. A correction was offered, but her error about jobs rendered Collins' entire column baseless. The column still lives, but they are now simply dead pixels on a desktop.

[mountain grammy]

18. I agree. I think half of Americans identify with this jerk

and will vote for him. He's dangerous. He's suckered Wisconsin twice.

[FiveGoodMen]

21. Three times.

[sunyasi]

31. Twit

I'm from Racine Wisconsin. The local newspaper, The Journal Times, had a poll question the last week or so. Do you think Scott Walker should run for president? 70% say no. He has made Wisconsin almost totally lawless by cutting funding for government services. We need him like we need herpes.

[NuttyFluffers]

34. i agree, he's the real threat.

and i think he's like hillary kryptonite. he doesn't have to say or do a thing for people to leave her and flock to him. he's got the optics, regardless the facts.

look like a simpatico asshole you can knock back a cheap beer with and you got the no-nothing, fucktard vote wrapped up. that's the largest active voting block in every nation.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. And that expression is so familiar....

Especially around the eyes.

[dhill926]

38. haha...nailed it...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

40. So sad too....

[Cha]

5. Damn.. he makes me feel better like Jon Stewart does after one of his repub exposés.. he totally

nailed that kochtool.

[daleanime]

6. K&fuckingR....

[NewJeffCT]

7. Hey Scott Walker - I'll give you a discount on surgery

sure, I don't have a medical degree or any training beyond putting on Band-Aids, but if you insist on going to an accredited surgeon who graduated from a top medical school and did his or her residency and internship at top hospitals, I'll call you out for being an elitist as well.

[turbinetree]

8. DECISIONS

This right wing hypocrite wants to take 300 million out of the UW budget, to balance the budget mess that he and his right wing cronies have created and then privatize the entire education for greed and make all the schools for profit charter system ( then go around and talk about how a self nominated teacher for an award and gets the award for first year teachers and because she had no seniority and gets laid off by the same Scott Walker who was and is cutting education ) because of a negotiated union contract to protect the first one in last one out employee based on seniority.
Then he (Walker and cronies and oligarchy fascist) makes a decision in his criminal life to hire people to break the law while he was in office to use the same offices to campaign for governor and now the republicans have put him on the pedestal has there go to guy with his educational background.
Then he makes another decision in his life to not complete his degree program because he made that decision, well now he wants this for the entire state, the state that has a 200 plus million dollar deficit, because this guy doesn't know math, lags in job creation and his attacking voting right's, and then with his education "PUNTS" on the theory of evolution.
Way to go Wisconsin, who are going to blame the poor and the shrinking middle class, when you are being driven into the proverbial ground by a guy with out the proper education to think clearly unless he his told to by his handlers----nice job

[shenmue]

9. My first laugh this morning.

[Scuba]

10. Privatize Walker ...

And, my fondest dream ...

[Katashi_itto]

11. This guy has a shot at the white house. He's perfect for the Koch brothers.

Stupid, unquestioning. Like most of the American populace.

[Stardust]

41. Remember his asskissing phone call with a "Koch"-sucker?

Walker Receives Prank Call From Koch Impersonator

MADISON, Wis. — A prank caller posing as a prominent conservative donor succeeded in getting Gov. Scott Walker on the phone to talk about his budget repair bill, a lengthy conversation that contained some of his most unguarded comments to date about the standoff with public employees.

[Orsino]

12. Remember W ca. 2000, bragging of having "stood up to the big trial lawyers"?

It just translates to doing what Big Money tells him to do, and Scott Walker's claim here parses identically. Government "elitism" is code for constitutional mandates and regulatory power, and these are what Koch flunkies like Walker were installed to dismantle.

[bullwinkle428]

13. K&R. Scott Walker and Joni Ernst are the new prototypes for RW politicians -

absolute empty vessels that are capable of being filled with every Koch brother talking point, and operated like a drone, wreaking havoc on the American landscape.

[Jack Rabbit]

22. That sounds like Sister Sarah

. . . or even the Frat Boy.

[Paladin]

25. Even Sister Sarah obtained a college degree.

And Frat Boy, like his siblings and offspring, got the top-flight college exposure to which his family name and money entitled him.

[Jack Rabbit]

27. I'm going to agree with Walker on the broader point

In a country that considers that among its greatest leaders are a man with about a second grade education received from occasional literate passers-by on the prairie and a man of privilege who graduated Harvard with "gentlemen's C's," the idea that an occasional leader might have dropped out of college shouldn't be held against him. We can add to this argument that a long string of Harvard and Yale men have brought America to the brink of ruin, although they got a big assist from a fellow with an economics degree from Eureka College in Illinois who clearly knew nothing about economics.

That does not mean that Scott Walker or Sarah Palin would measure up to Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt or Harry Truman (who didn't finish college, either) as a leader. They most certainly would not. However, we come to that conclusion by examining Mr. Walker (a not-very-bright crooked politician) and Mrs. Palin (a not-very-bright grifter) for all they have done during their adult lives. The same goes for Yale graduate and Harvard MBA George W. Bush, a man who, had he not been born to one of America's most wealthy and powerful families, would have failed as a WalMart stock boy instead of a corporate executive and whose greatest concern would have been how to pass the next piss test from his parole department instead of how start a war in Iraq without a causus belli.

I am simply saying that the relevance assigned nowadays to a college education, especially one from an elite university, is overrated.

[Moostache]

14. There is a silver lining to this assclown getting so much attention now...

Remember back to 2010-2011 when the Republican clown car took turns giving morons a chance at the wheel...Gingrich was "inevitable", Palin was "serious candidate", Trump used the process to promote his TV show blatantly while Huckster did the same thing more covertly, even Michelle Bachman - semi-conscious, semi-literate, semi-sentient Michelle Bachman - was talked about as a "front runner"...

Better to have Walker exposed and run out of the race early than lurk in the shadows until he might actually have a real chance of ending upon a ballot where 40% of Americans would blindly vote for him because of the "R" by his name...

I would bet large sum of money that he ends up on the very short list for VP to Bush though...

[SmittynMo]

15. He won't make it thru the 1st round.

I can't stand the this guy. His stupidity and ignorance for reality really pisses me off.

[turbinetree]

28. 900 Million

He has been in cahoots with the KOCH"s for years, and they have made a pledge to have 900 million in this next election, that kind of corruption can buy a lot of greed and political pay back, he has survived four elections to get him thrown out of office , two of them on recall and with a corrupt judicial system now in Wisconsin backing this hypocrite on whatever he does, says and speaks volumes to how the dumb keep getting dumber in this state and the country, as we speak they are gerrymandering the state into absolute oblivion and lets not forget that one king of the AYN Rand concept of deceit and deception comes from this state and is on the committee to truly screw people and that is one Paul Ryan

[GusBob]

16. "I'd rather have a Doctor who got his smarts by catching all them diseases....

verses all them book learning and schooling dealies....."


In other words, "going to Marquette University is and was a complete waste of time" His alma mater is gonna rue the day they accepted this idjit into the school

[TBF]

17. She should have followed up by asking why his sons are in college.

Apparently college is fine for the kids of a politician who is being funded by the Koch Bros., but not necessary for anyone else.

[rurallib]

19. got to be one of the funniest and most accurate lines ever:

"Scott Walker, a man who looks like he's constantly getting a blow job from an enthusiastic schnauzer"

[boatsfra]

20. He looks great in the orange jumpsuit...

as ISIS prisoners also wear orange jumpsuits prior to them leaving Earth.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. THAT'S where I've seen that expression before!!!

"What's everyone looking at ME for???"

[Enthusiast]

24. 'fuckin' uneducated yokel'

The Republican Party finally found someone with as perpetually stupid look on their face as Dubya Bush.

Go, assholes!

[hifiguy]

26. Calling Walker a scummy little shitweasel

is an insult to the other scummy little shitweasels.

[Blue Owl]

29. Hey voters, leave us Koch-heads alone...

He don't need no education...

[the_sly_pig]

30. Stupid people ....

will always believe the sword is mightier than the pen. In my years I've found it does no good to highlight stupidity. Educated and uneducated alike refuse involvement and are apathetic.

Given a choice, lazy people won't think. Empathy requires energy.

[Aldo Leopold]

32. YES

ALL THE WAY!

[butterfly77]

33. Kick&Recommended!

[47of74]

35. F Scott Walker

[lobodons]

36. Walker was 1 semester from Graduation

So does that make him an Elitist before he was not an Elitist?

[warpigs72]

39. Not 1 semester

He was in final senior semester, but allegedly needed about 34 credits to graduate. Probably because he dropped out or flunked other classes. The guy is about as smart as a hammer.

Someone should ask him what someone should be judged on: 250,000 jobs promise? A massive $2B budget deficit he created? A completely divided state? Secret wireless network which was used by people getting paid by taxpayers to work on his campaign?
