Collusion among the GOP to break up the Unions? Rush is the Koch-Head’s Koch Whore. He makes his money from them – of course he’s going to say this.

Koch Whores and Koch Heads aka Teabaggers.

The big news of this morning

Jon, considering oil is $100 a barrel today, what does that say about your profession?

Jazz hands,
While I reject your premise, what would the difference be in the R’s wanting to destroy unions for their gain and the Dem’s being their lapdogs and giving them whatever they want to keep them in their pocket.

Republicans get money from unions too, whether you accept that or not.

Jon, speaking of today’s news, isn’t the chaos in Greece, due to unions, more newsworthy than this non-story? Oh wait! Maybe that’s one of the things you libs are trying to divert our attention from. Sneaky!

Westlake, they let you out of the straight jacket on weekdays?

Here’s a shocker – he’s right.

Not much there, guys. Of course, that won’t stop the left from flopping around like landed fish over this but, hey, its all the poor things have. Let ‘em play with it.

It’s only good for about two or three news cycles. Why?

BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING THERE!!!!!

So, go ahead and play with it, lefties but be careful. It might be sharp. You could put your eye out.

As a resident of WI, there is nothing there. We voted for Walker because he was principled. :)

All this is showing is how squishy other Republicans and Democrats are when true leadership is needed.

is this a story, though? I’m not a fan of Rush personally, but I don’t see what the big f’ing deal is (to quote our Veep!)

Oh. Hi, there Jeffy!

How is that new hosting service working for you?

Were you able to scrub all traces of your horse milking service?

Oh, wait. You ARE STILL advertising… your services… for… milking horses and strangers for $5 bucks and a jelly doughnut.

“Walker: The other thing we may do, ’cause the senator I mentioned thinks that these guys — you’ve got a few of the radical ones, who, unfortunately, one of them is the minority leader, but most of the rest of them are just looking for a way to get out of this. They’re scared out of their mind, they don’t know what it means. There’s a bunch of recalls up against them. They’d really like to just get back here and get it over with. So the paycheck thing, some of the other things threaten them. I think, collectively, there’s enough going on and as long as they don’t think I’m gonna cave — which, again, we have no interest in — an interesting idea that was brought up to me this morning by my chief of staff, we won’t do it until tomorrow, is putting out an appeal to the Democrat leader that I would be willing to sit down and talk to him, the assembly Democrat leader, plus the other two Republican leaders — talk, not negotiate — and listen to what they have to say if they will in turn — but I’ll only do it if all 14 of them come back and sit down in the state Assembly. They can recess it, to come back if we’re talking, but they all have to be back there. The reason for that is, we’re verifying it this afternoon, but legally, we believe, once they’ve gone into session, they don’t physically have to be there. If they’re actually in session for that day and they take a recess, the 19 Senate Republicans could then go into action and they’d have a quorum because they started out that way. Um, so we’re double checking that. But that would be the only, if you heard that I was going to talk to them, that would be the only reason why. We’d only do it if they came back to the capital with all 14 of them. And my sense is, hell, I’ll talk to them. If they want to yell at me for an hour, you know, I’m used to that, I can deal with that. But I’m not negotiating.

Murphy: Bring a baseball bat. That’s what I’d do.

Walker: I have one in my office; you’d be happy with that. I got a Slugger with my name on it.

Murphy: Beautiful.”

Sorry, Rush. THAT was something never previously said publicly. Keep spinning.

The EIB (egocentric impotent blimp) is wrong, as usual.

This story most certainly IS news…because it’s funny.

Rather like when silly Sarah got that call from “Sarkozy”:

So why is the GOP trotting their fat snarly bulldog out to defend Walker? If he didn’t say anything he shouldn’t have, he wouldn’t need the GOP’s propaganda minister out there running interference. Personally, I hope they hang him from the highest tree over it. :)

I wonder about the timing. I first heard about the prank late in the morning Eastern time; Rush must have been doing his, um, “show prep”…that is culling stuff from Breitbart and Drudge, neither of which mentioned the prank until later in the day. It takes a FULL TWENTY MINUTES to listen to the whole exchange, which I doubt the Dittomaster had a chance to do before commenting on it!

I disagree with Rush. To me, this private prank call shows Gov. Walker revealing parts of the bill were, indeed, a surprise in spite of his public assertion that they were not.

“I campaigned on (the proposals in the budget repair bill for Wisconsin) all throughout the election. Anybody who says they are shocked on this has been asleep for the past two years.” said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Monday, Feb. 21, 2011, in a news conference.

Describing a Feb. 14, 2011 meeting with his cabinet, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said, “We talked about what we were going to do, how we were going to do it. We had already built plans up. This was kind of the last hurrah before we dropped the bomb.” in the recorded phone conversation released Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011.

If I were a billionaire able to reach Gov. Walker by phone, my question for him would be: Aren’t most people shocked when the head of a government drops a bomb on his own people?

sort of like ol Shrillery dodging enemy fire!

Nothing to see here, just a corrupt Governor being paid off by Big Business!

screwauger said:

No, not at all.

That was not a prank, dummy. It was just a lie.

Nothing wrong here. Walker is our puppet and he will do what we want him to do. He is taking orders like a good soldier.

Walkers comments tell you everything you need to know about him, he is not doing this for Wisconsin, he is doing it to make a name for himself. Comparing himself to Ronald Reagan, you can see from his words, he is a stooge…taking orders from someone else, trying to trick the democrats into thinking he will talk to them, this guy is a phony, that is trying to look to a bigger agenda than his state. this crap about nothing to see, move along won’t work this time!!!

There was no news when he was in the Denny’s parking lot trying to score more oxy. There was no news when he went to the DR with Viagara trying to score some underage companionship. There was no news when…Oh, you get the picture!

If Rush says it, it must be true!

At long last sir, we have something we can agree on!

OOOoooooo….the Pig Monster has spoken. All hail the Pig Monster, lol.

The only thing learned from this is the unethical behavior of ‘media persons’ in support of the democrat position. Actually, it’s a reinforcement of a lesson already learned in Wisconsin what with doctors unethically signing onto bogus sick forms and union teachers unethically politicizing their classrooms, and lying in front of their students about being sick.

Sprocket said:

Case in point.

But, if it was a Democrat on the phone with George Soros, Limpdick and his far-right conservative cronies would be throwing a fit and having a field day with it.

Rush you look like a frickin’ idiot trying to defend him – do to others what he is going to do to you. You think he really cares? You seriously look like an idiot defending him.
What was learned here? The inside secret truth. Rush, I used to love you, but obviouly, you have no backbone to see corruption maybe it’s because you haven’t been weaned yet and your well being comes from a stream of someone’s nipple.

“…the protesters will be hard pressed to find any juicy sound bites to hurt him with.”

This is an idiotic comment. Walker reveals his master plan to trick the Democratic senators into returning just to pull a bait and switch on them. Do you think in a million years he would have revealed this skulduggery if the prank call hadn’t been made. The very fact that he accepted the call shows what an absolute moron he is. But what can you expect from a Rethug?

Thus Rush cements his claim that he is an “entertainer” (i.e., circus clown) and not a journalist.

The_Reasonable_Lib said:

Public employess should not have unions. President Franklin Roosevelt said that and so did George Meany, who was the head of the AFL-CIO for 25 years. Why are you trying to make this seem as if its about all unions? Its about public service employee unions? Is you cause so weak that you have to present it dishonestly?

Just a thought for those who are too lazy to actually listen to the entire phone call, or read the entire transcript… Gov. Walker admits to considering placing trouble makers into the crowd of protesters. I’m not sure how the democratically elected head of a state admitting he and his staff thought about sending people to make trouble to advance his argument isn’t news. Seems intellectually lazy to just parrot Rush. Rush is a lot smarter than most people like to give him credit for. He knows most of the folks the listen to him won’t bother to look for themselves. If the only way you can advance your argument is sneaky, dishonest tactics, then maybe you don’t have much of an argument to begin with.

Thinking =/= doing. Perhaps someone mentioned it. Then it was considered and rejected. The problem with that is…?

You mean like running away from the job you’re elected and paid to do, and hiding out of state? Yeah, that’s pretty weaselly. They should come home and make their argument, huh?

I agree 100%

Pablo said:

Not “perhaps”. The problem with that is it never should have been brought up for consideration to begin with. I’m sure you’re capable of understanding that, even if your politics won’t allow you to admit it.

For anyone to believe or trust the view(s) of Rash Limbaugh is a real stretch.

There is a story here. The contents of the call, the attitude of the Gov., the views that he thought he shared with the “fake David Koch,” and the intent of this anti-Union ploys. Walker is now trying to tapdance or sweet talk himself out of his stance and tactics. It won’t work by simply saying, “It was just a crank or prank call, nothing more.” I say, BS.

At the time of the call, Walker believed it was real; so, back peddling now is flimsy and weak, very. Gov. Scott Walker needs to leave office, one way or another – he is disgraceful.

And? Spitballing is out now? Or it must be monitored for political correctness? It shouldn’t include the tactics that are constantly used by the opposition? Can’t even mention it? Bah.

“OK, boys. We’ve got some planning to do. But remember, no one have any bad ideas, OK.”

What do you suppose Richard Trumka is talking to the White House about EVERY DAY?

What’s he backpedaling from? He’s saying the same thing in the call he’s been saying in public.

I wouldn’t pretend to know what the White House and Trumka talk about. I’m commenting on a conversation I know the content and context of. Suppose the situation was reversed…. Would you still be so flippant about the whole thing? Also, this isn’t about political correctness. The federal, state government etc., should not be having discussions about planting people to cause disruption. Republican or Democrat.

Haven’t been keeping up with the whole mess well enough to know if Walker reveiled anything “new” or not…

I am disgusted by the underhanded method used by this Ian Murphy of Buffalo Beast. And puzzled at the relative ease that it took to convince this politician.

Ultimately this brings Murphy’s work ethics into question and makes Walker look wet behind the ears.

But it was a Republican on the phone with Ian Murphy posing as David Koch, so you and your left-wing liberal cronies are throwing a fit and having a field day with it?

What’s the difference?

Blogger Who Prank Called Scott Walker, Now a Media Darling, Has Sordid History

Limbaugh is a part of the Triumvirate of Hate that is penetrating so much of our lives across the country. Book ended by BECK AND MURDOCH, there is never a word of encouragement, hope or love beyond self interest. The tbaggers get their jollies at the reactions of progressives and other decent people . They take pleasure in our discomfort and personally, I am tired of giving them satisfaction. Limbaugh doesn’t make me angry any more, he doesn’t make me quake in my boots, he is a pathetic human being who uses his influence to do harm to anyone who gets in his way. No more Limbaugh for me.

I suppose if your mind has been altered by your use or should I say misuse of an excessive amount of Oxycontin, I guess you could claim there’s no story here. Sure, that’s right people, just move along, nothing to see here. Just some scumbag Tea party/Fox News Governor trying to subvert the rights of hard working people. I hope the next time he needs a cop or a fireman he realizes what he’s doing.

I think most of us know Rush has no comprehension of what he reads or hears but he does understand $$$$.
