Funniest take on Walker's testimony ever

Wonkette is an irreverent blog that ridicules the overeducated layabouts, pompous charlatans and thieves that make up much of Washington's political culture. Wonkette's Riley Waggaman wrote the following hilarious account of Koch whore Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's testimony on the Hill yesterday.  We present it to you in its entirety:

Remorseless gasbag Scott Walker visited our nation’s swamp capital yesterday, and somehow found time to testify in front of Congress and strip the cherry blossoms of their collective blossoming rights. As expected, Walker wowed the crowd with all his fancy Koch-ing points, bragging that Wisconsin’s “collective bargaining reforms save local governments more than $700 million each year.” Hey bro, Dennis Kucinich has a quick question for you: how much actual “money” will Wisconsin save by stripping government workers of their collective bargaining rights? Jesus, take the wheel! “That particular part doesn’t save any,” Walker replied,not caring at all that he claimed the exact opposite only a few minutes earlier. Facts are stupid things.

Whoa yeah: Kucinich rips Walker a new one

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich just shredded Koch whore Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's flimsy claim that he's trying to protect Wisconsin workers during a congressional hearing. Walker looked like a stunned mullet by the time Kucinich got through with him.

Kucinich first told Walker he was full of crap (not quite in those words). Walker had testified he didn't sit down with unions -- even though they'd agreed to sacrifices -- because they later voted for contracts that didn't include those sacrifices. Kucinich said the unions voted on those contracts because:

You refused to drop your demand to strip workers of their collective bargaining rights, which had nothing to do with the budget.

Then Kucinich demanded to know how much money Walker would save by destroying workers' rights. He got his answer. Walker:

It doesn’t save any.

"This is supposed to be a hearing about state and municipal debt," Kucinich said. "Your proposal would require unions to hold annual votes to continue to represent their members."

Walker:

We wanted to make sure we’re protecting the workers of our state...It would save employees up to $1,000 a year.

Kucinich:

It wouldn’t save any.

He then presented a letter from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, which was asked to identify the budget impact of Walker's attempt to take away workers' rights. Kucinich said:

This letter confirms the obvious: Gov. Walker's efforts to repeal the rights of Wisconsin workers is a nonfiscal policy item...What we’ve been able to demonstrate here is the attack on collective bargaining rights is a choice.

Walker had no Koch-funded boilerplate with which to respond.
