About all those emails to Governor Walker
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/118267909.html?page=2#comments


"Of the more than 8,000 e-mails we got today, the majority are telling us to stay firm, to stay strong, to stand with the taxpayers," Walker said.


Part of the e-mails had been divided by Walker’s staff into one folder of supportive e-mails and one folder of opposing e-mails. The ones for that day in the opposing folder appeared to be several times larger.


Liar, liar pants on fire.

Edited on Fri Mar-18-11 05:58 PM by eowyn_of_rohan

7. By suing scooter to hand over his emails
Edited on Fri Mar-18-11 05:53 PM by eowyn_of_rohan
they allow him to present whatever emails he feels like presenting. He can say there were 10,000 for his side and 500 against. So they give him a chance to spin this situation to his advantage.

adding - how can we really know if he handed ALL the emails over?

11. Without a court order, we have to take him at his word (snort)
which is what we were doing before.

The settlement calls for the defendants, Gov. Scott Walker and his office, to produce a disc containing these emails next Tuesday, March 22, at or after 4 p.m. It is agreed that the governor will produce emails "in the folders in which they are stored at the time of production."

Aparently, there are forensic methods for determining whether the emails have been tampered with, thus the reasoning behind "in the folders in which they are stored at the time of production" clause.

Gee, maybe I should work on taming the cynical beast within me.


and I will add: THANKS ISTHMUS!

5. Why did he believe it wouldn't have become public
knowledge. I guess he was too busy organizing the sell out with Koch and not reading the Wisconsin constitution and the laws of the state.

What a fucking moron.

6. So he's bragging about 8,000 emails while ignoring the 100,000 people outside his door.
I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen republicant math before. Wohoo! If jobs decrease by 700,000 that means more jobs for everyone!

12. Oh, OK
So, all these anonymous emails mean more than the thousands of real people out protesting against you in the streets. Genius.

14. That was obvious at the time
but I'm glad it can be proven to the repugs. I doubt they will listen though.
