Vikes erase Scott Walker's signature

[n2doc]

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings' new stadium is quickly rising on the east end of downtown Minneapolis, but construction workers still have plenty of time to tend to the little things -- like erasing a pro-Green Bay Packers message that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker tried to slip into the stadium.

While making a campaign visit to River Steel in West Salem, Wisconsin, Walker signed a steel beam that was being fabricated for the Vikings' stadium, also writing "Go Packers" on the beam, according to the New York Times.

However, when River Steel sent the beam to the main steel fabricator -- LeJeune Steel in Minneapolis -- the message was erased.

"Governor Walker did sign a piece of steel that was in a fabrication shop in Wisconsin, but his signature and whatever else he wrote has been removed from that piece of steel," Mortenson Construction senior vice president John Wood told Minnesota Public Radio.

Walker had boasted about his hijinks during a campaign appearance in Schofield, Wisconsin, on Friday.

1. Are the workers at LeJeune Steel in a union?

If so, what sweet IRONy (pun intended).

5. LOL -- make sure Focker doesn't steel this election

2. That was kind of cheesy, don't you think?

[gratuitous]

3. Ah, friendly rivalry stuff

If a Democratic governor did this, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it (although you can be Fox News would). While I'm no fan of Walker's and am eager to see him lose today, this falls under the category of harmless hi-jinks for me.

4. LOL

As a lifelong Vikings fan and Packer hater I am amused no matter who the WI governor in question might be. That it's Walker makes it funnier. Hope he goes down in flames.

6. I Stand with NOT Walker...

and when the opportunity presents itself...I squat on Scott

[Wellstone ruled]

7. My question is

why are they fabricating the structural steel in West Salem. Must be a non Union Shop. Most of the heavy Steel Fab shops in and around the Twin Cities are UAW shops. Back in the day, the Twin Cities used to be Packer fans with buses running to Green Bay on home game weekends. Made the trip many times.

9. Wisconsin is all about beer and cheese....

Imagine mixing beer farts with this...

8. Oh That Scotty!

I predict he's really gonna be something when he gets out of high school. Ain't life just one big party!

10. Erasing Walker? Sounds good!

Here's hoping the voters in Wisconsin do it tonight.

11. Scott really thought he is funny man after screwing Wisconsities for last four years.
