Scott Walker Spreading The Wealth

Scott Walker Gives $81,500 Government Job To Top Donor’s 26-Year-Old College Dropout Son

Since taking office in January, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has stripped public workers of their collective bargaining rights, proposed wage cuts to local government employees, and insisted that his “state is broke” and that its public workers are overpaid. But Walker applies a different standard to himself.

Today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reveals that Walker is using state funds to pay more than $81,500 a year to the 26-year-old son of a major campaign donor with no college degree and two drunken-driving convictions.

Nice try, but wrong, yet again. The answer is a Wisconsin Representative from the Democratic Party.

Can we assume that you have no problem with the Governor of Wisconsin giving a relatively high paying job to someone that most likely is not qualified to do the job? This action looks like political payback to me. I would think that you would be upset over this, no matter if it's and R or a D in the Governor's office.

The media? They report this when Republicans do it, but ignore it when the Dems do similar corruption plays.

They don't know what they like- So you'll will have to wait until Rush Limbaugh addresses this, or after the Glen Beck show tonight for a response from the teabaggers here.

Do you have an example of this? I would be outraged over cronyism no matter who did it.

An example of dem patronage, or an example of the media ignoring it?

Either. Both. Whatever trips your trigger.
