Loser son of Walker's crony resigns

Brian Deschane, the 27-year-old who recently got a promotion and $81,500-per-year job in Koch whore Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s administration, has resigned. The college dropout with two drunk-driving convictions also happens to be the son of a top donor to Walker’s campaign.

Deschane was appointed last week to a head position at the Department of Commerce. After an uproar over his appointment, when there were much more highly qualified candidates, Deschane was demoted yesterday back to his previous position. Wisconsin State Journal reports:

Deschane, 27, was officially sent back to his old job Wednesday with the Department of Regulation and Licensing, which carries a salary of $64,728 a year. DRL officials said he never showed up.
Surprise--the governor had no comment.

Btw, we're especially fond of Wonkette's take on the whole Deschane controversy:
When it comes to government workers, Scott Walker knows how to hire them. If they agitate about “benefits” and “collective bargaining,” they’re lazy and want to inflict any pain they can on the taxpayers of Wisconsin, and Scott Walker will do anything in his power to try to fire them. But if they’re college-dropout 27-year-olds convicted of two whole drunk driving offenses daddy’s lawyer couldn’t get them out of, they’re prime talent Scott Walker will hire hastily and immediately give a raise.
