Bring in Da Noise

Today was chock full-o’-punch lines. First we had Scott Walker being prank-called by Fake Koch. Then we had Hypocridiot of the House Boehner do his level best to top that, but he couldn’t come close.

Walker held a press conference today after revelations of his punk’ditude. You know what they say, location is everything. He held it in the governor’s press room, “with the thick, wooden double doors closed in order to block out the ever-present sounds of the protesters inside the Capitol.”

Remember the part that’s italicized, you’ll be quizzed on it later.

Now back to the presser. I love a reporter with a loud voice who makes a loud point that needs to be made… loudly:

The first questioner asked Walker whether he could be trusted to negotiate in good faith, given he had discussed with “Koch” methods of tricking the Democrats into coming back to the Capitol building, and after he alluded to having considered bringing “troublemakers” into the crowds.

“For us I think it’s real simple. First I want to say I take phone calls all the time,” Walker said, before being interrupted by a reporter in the crowd who yelled, “Not mine!.“

Correct, loud reporter. And that i you just dotted and that t you just crossed are exactly what was so “lethal” about the call.

Now for the callback to the italics:

When the Q&A was over, Democratic state Rep. Brett Hulsey — who had gotten in the room before the press conference began, took the governor’s podium to give his own remarks and to take questions from reporters.

At this point, some young staffers from the governor’s office opened the double-doors wide open — so that the sounds of the thousands of protesters came pouring in, drowning out Hulsey. The reporters then asked for the doors to be closed, but the young men stayed at the doors, keeping them fully open.

The voice of the people once again stifled by Walker, Inc.
