Scott Walker is the absolute worst: Beneath his “Everyman” facade, a grossly incompetent administration

Walker's tenure has been disastrous. The latest proof? His administration over-billed family planning clinics 93%

This weekend we learned that Scott Walker hopes his “Everyman” shtick will obscure the fact that, in the words of Esquire’s Charlie Pierce, he was “hired by Koch Industries to manage their Midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin.” In New Hampshire the 2016 GOP hopeful won applause, Robert Costa reported, as he boasted of shopping at working class Kohl’s and Jos. A. Banks while busting unions, trying to draw a contrast with his better-dressed GOP rivals and liberal elitist Hillary Clinton.

Also this weekend came the news that Walker’s administration admitted it had overbilled two Wisconsin family planning clinics by 93 percent – or at least $3.2 million. The move was so blatantly ideological that the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel said the change “raised more questions than it answered.”

Walker’s New Hampshire “Everyman” performance was widely covered in the national media. His family planning screw-up was not.

One agency, which serves rural Northeastern Wisconsin, was billed $1.169 million for overcharging the state for contraceptive costs over two years – a charge that almost equaled its entire annual operating budget of $1.2 million. That was reduced to $180,000, which the agency is still contesting. The other clinic was billed $2.35 million, now reduced to $45,000.

But why would Walker apologize? His anti-family planning agenda has already forced the closure of five Wisconsin Planned Parenthood clinics.

2. Believe me, Bush is erudite compared to Walker.

Bush actually had a better GPA than Kerry...go figure...

Walker is a preacher's son his understanding of the world is about what manipulates people's feelings and it's filled with myths and prejudices

we're often told that Walker was just 'a few credits short' of graduating at Marquette...a pretty good Jesuit University. But the truth is Walker quit (rumor has it was encouraged to leave) 30 some hours short of a BS.

He played at university life and didn't do exceptionally well, but he figured out a way to spin it to make it look like more than it was. His whole adult life is founded upon looking like he's more than he is.

Truth is he's a cognitive failure, angry and disappointed...which is likely the source of his anti-intellectualism.

3. The fact that you are dead on in your analysis of Walker's mentation

is no assurance of his unelectability.
