Scott Walker Emails Right-Wing Talk Radio to Defend Me Calling Him Out About Emailing and Calling Into Right-Wing Talk Radio
If only I had a radio show to get my opinions disseminated instead of my “lowly lefty” weblog.
Then I could just respond to criticism by sending out emails, which totally dodge the issues but get in jabs against “lefties”, to the hosts of those radio shows.
Kind of like Scott Walker did again today in response to my questioning his teen like obsession with being on the phone with right-wing talk radio hosts while he should be doing the business of the residents of Milwaukee County.
In response to part of my point about him emailing right wing talk radio show hosts he… wait for it… sends in an email response to Charlie Sykes defending the fact that he’s spending considerable amounts of time emailing right-wing talk radio show hosts!
It’s not much of an excuse on Walkers part to be sure. In fact, it’s mostly filled with right-wing code words like “liberal bloggers” and “fairness doctrine” to try to hide the fact that indeed, Scott Walkers phone bill to right-wing radio talk shows is getting a bit high.
In fact, the rest of my point about spending his mornings on the phone with talk radio wasn’t addressed, which is interesting and telling in itself. Of course, it’s hard to dispute the fact that he’s spending so much time on right-wing talk radio when the evidence is there to prove it.
So once again, instead of actually refuting any points, we have a Republican dodging the issue by blaming liberals.
That’s accountability?

You’d actually have a decent argument if you could quantify the amount of time Scott Walker is spending away from his duties. Without that, it just sounds too whiney.

Speaking of politicians wasting time, today Milwaukee saw: 1)Governor Doyle posing for pictures and cutting a ribbon in front of the Marquette Interchange. 2) County Exec. Walker, Mayor Barrett and Lt. Gov. Lawton posing for pictures by the bronze “Fonzie” statue. Collectively, hours of time were wasted by politcians politiking.
Still, congratulations to the governor and the DOT for getting the Interchange completed several months early and under budget. I can drive downtown without trepidation.

All those phone calls and email logs are public record if they were made from a County computer or phone. If you want to see how many calls and emails and to who, you just have to ask !
Maybe Walker gets up early and emails from home and calls from his own cell phone?
Will be interesting if Walker uses his office in the same manner when he declares his run for Gov… again.
Didn’t some of his buddies go to jail for using State resources to run for public office? or is that now allowed in County Government?
Check civil service rules about personal gain while on County time.
hmmmm
