THE PRANK CALL! Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker "punked" by caller posing as a "Billionaire" political donor. Paging Saturday Night Live! This is one of the funniest "political" set-ups ever!



Update at 8:16 p.m. PST
We now know the name of the "prankster" who made this call to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.  The dude is a blogger named Ian Murphy out of Buffalo, New York.  Got to look this guy up on Facebook.  I see a "beautiful" relationship in the works.

This is one of the funniest political pranks I have ever seen in my entire life.  Trust me. I have pulled my fair share in the past, and this one is "priceless."

Congratulations to Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker.  Tonight is my winner of the coveted: "Political Pirate of the Week Award."  If you are a follower of my blog, you will know that "The Pirate" is only given out on "special" occasions.  This is ONE of those TIMES!

The Clean Cut All-American Looking Guv is now a "political punchline" in the making.

Egg on face.  Tele-Punk ed.  Extreme Make OVER Gone Wild.  What ever you want to call it,  a twenty minute phone call to someone he thought was a "billionaire campaign contributor" is now the center of a new political controversy in the "Heartland" of America.  It has hit You Tube this afternoon.  Let the viral hits begin!

"
Walker has to be one of the most naive Governor's in America.   He could be the new "Sarah Palin" of the Mid West.  Opps.  Did I just say that?

Gov. Walker: PUNK ED!
Here is what took place yesterday.

His bill to limit collective bargaining with Wisconsin teachers is now the new "political battle-cry" for 2011.

Walker took a call yesterday to discuss confidential strategies for pushing the bill controversial "union busting" bill through the legislative maze, when a New York blogger recorded the telephone call, and well, the rest is now "Political Fodder" for ALL TIME SAKES!

Instead of doing a long blog post about this, do yourself a favor and take 20 minutes to listen to the "Farce of the Week" take place.  Then, ask yourself, is Walker serious about fixing the fiscal crisis in Wisconsin, or is he "not ready for prime time."

One thing for sure.  After this stunt, Governor Walker could be headed to Saturday Night Live.

Bring on the PARODY!

Los Angeles Democrats HEADING TO TENN! said...

Tennessee's Republican controlled congress is trying to pull a Wisconsin union busting effort. Mass protest rallies are planned on March 5th and March 15th in Nashville. I'm gonna be there for sure! As I hear more I'll let everyone know.

NOW is the time for all Democrats to show there support! The Republicans in the Tennessee House and Senate are trying to stop Union members from contributing money to political campaigns and they are trying bust up collective bargaining for teachers.

Get your signs made up!
Make them very readable!
Make the letters bold!
Let them see BLUE!
Let the Republicans know we Democrats will not let them have it their way!

Sisters and Brothers,

A last minute reminder to attend the February 26, 2011 South County Labor Breakfast. The event is held at UAW Local 148 located at 3971 Pixie Avenue in the city of Lakewood. I rec’d a call from the campaign manager of our California Secretary of State and confirmed the attendance of the Honorable Debra Bowen.

This promises to be another great breakfast with speakers and information in abundance.

Good News! The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor is in Wisconsin in support of our Sisters and Brothers in the Public Sector. Collectively we shall overcome. This is but the first shot across the bow as many other states are preparing to mimic Governor Walker of Wisconsin.

See you at the Breakfast on Saturday. Remember the event begins with a coffee mixer at 8:00 a.m., Breakfast served at 8:30 and the program commences at 9:00 a.m. sharp with FREE Door Prizes at the end of the program at 10:00 a.m.

In Unity and Friendship,
Raymond L. Cordova, Chair
South County Labor, (AFL-CIO)
