Governor Scott Walker

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker let out his frustration with the media this weekend over Twitter, an attempt to regain control of the narrative surrounding his refusal to comment on former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s remarks questioning whether Obama “loves” America.

On Saturday, Walker decried the media’s “gotcha game,” and on Sunday he tweeted a selfie of himself and his son visiting the White House with the rest of the governors in town for the National Governors Association meeting.

“Enough with the media’s gotcha game, we started Our American Revival to talk about big, bold ideas,” Walker tweeted Saturday night, with a link to his website.

The picture he tweeted on Sunday night featured Walker and his son in the foyer of the White House.

“Alex and I in the White House for the National Governors Association dinner,” he tweeted with the pic.

Walker campaign raising money off reporter questions on Obama, Giuliani


...............Reporters since have been asking Walker if he agreed with Giuliani's question, and a Washington Post reporter asked the guv if he believes Obama is a Christian. He answered he didn't know, though a spokeswoman later told the paper he was trying to make a point by not answering such questions and "Of course the governor thinks the president is a Christian."

Walker's state campaign sent a fundraising request playing off the controversy.

"Your support will show the clueless and mindless journalistic herd that you know what matters most and that it is not the pointless minutiae that they are pushing," the appeal read.

The DNC slammed Walker for his answers over the weekend...........

4. Twitter rants

Walker may as well be shouting at clouds.

[tishaLA]

5. “Alex and I in the White House for the National Governors Association dinner” ...

And he's trying to cut education in WI! It's "Alex and me," you stupid fuck!

[lutefisk]

7. He's not educable

We tried, but he dropped out before graduation to take a part time sales job.

[VWolf]

8. Well, you know,

twitter maxes out at 140 characters. He was just trying to be efficient.



Actually, now that I think about it, it seems more like he deliberately used "I" instead of "me" to appear intelligent, and of course got it completely wrong.

[FSogol]

17. ...we are sitting in the back by the kitchen door and busboy station....

Enjoy it Walker, that's the closest you will ever get. America won't elect a chump like you no matter how much cash the Kochs throw down a rat hole.

[starroute]

18. Well, no, it is "Alex and I"

You wouldn't say, "Me am in the White House," would you? You would say, "I am in the White House."

So it's also "Alex and I."

[tishaLA]

20. So if you alter his sentence, it becomes grammatically correct

Gotcha. Now let's work on what he actually wrote instead.

[RufusTFirefly]

24. Actually, it is "Alex and me"

It's a sentence fragment, which makes it problematic, but the tweet has no verb so the verb is probably implicit, as in

&quot This is a picture of) Alex and me in the White House for the National Governors Association dinner."

Politicians and corporate executives are absolutely terrified of using "me" incorrectly and will go to great lengths to avoid it by using either "I" or "myself" instead. In nine out of 10 instances, that usage is incorrect.

Common violations include variations on the following

This is a picture of Alex and myself. (WRONG)
This is a picture of Alex and me. (RIGHT)

The Koch Brothers joined Alex and I at the National Governors Association dinner. (WRONG)
The Koch Brothers joined Alex and myself at the National Governors Association dinner. (WRONG)
The Koch Brothers joined Alex and me at the National Governors Association dinner. (RIGHT)

[starroute]

25. I see what you mean -- it's the sentence fragment nature of it

Twitter forces you to leave out words -- and I took it for a compressed version of "Alex and I (are) in the White House..."

But you're probably right that it should be taken as &quot This is a picture of) Alex and me in the White House..."

So yeah. I concede.

[underpants]

6. It's not a gotcha question just because it gotcha

Bill Maher comment about Palin applies here I think

[VWolf]

9. "Governor Scott Walker gets his side out" - yeah, his backside n/t

[Sunlei]

10. A Twit In The White House

[riversedge]

11. Walker will not even make it to the nomination

[Scuba]

12. "Oour American Revival"

[unionthug777]

21. just made this up

unions !!!

[Scuba]

22. I like it!!!

[louis-t]

13. Fuck his big, bold ideas.

Stupid piece of garbage doesn't have an original thought in his head. Dumbass. This guy is really starting to piss me off.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. How can you not like Scotty's BIG AND BOLD(TM) ideas

Scotties BIG AND BOLD(TM) ideas are great because they are BIG AND BOLD(TM) and also very bold, and rather big besides.

[louis-t]

16. Yeah, and he won't name one.

But I understand they are brilliant. And new. And they are his own ideas. And proven to be successful. And pro-growth. Etcetera.

[Still In Wisconsin]

19. EXACTLY!!! THEY ARE BIG AND BOLD(TM)!!!!!!

Also, don't forget, what America really wants is a FIGHTER(TM). Scotty is such a BIG AND BOLD(TM) FIGHTER(TM)

[randys1]

26. How could anyone look at a pic of this dipshit or Cruz and not vomit, let alone vote FOR them?

[Still In Wisconsin]

15. Nobody plays the victim more quickly.

Every single time Scotty starts getting it handed to him by ANYBODY- and I mean EVERY time- he will pull out the victim card. Cue the (fabricated) story about his car almost getting tipped over during the Act 10 protests in 3-2-1...

[They_Live]

23. tweets from the twit

how appropriate.

[drray23]

27. big bold ideas?

This is not something Gov Walker can do. He does not have the intellect for that. He is just barely able to regurgitate talking points he gets from the Kock propaganda machine and RW pundits.

[yellowcanine]

28. Walker's problem is low name recognition and negative name recognition coinciding.

As people start to know who he is the bad stuff is going to define him. He will flame out early.

[ProudProg2u]

29. EF This Doofuss...

And his taskmasters "The Koch Brothers" And the, "Right to work for less" Governors"...I refuse to believe these people are honestly elected by anyone.
