Something rotten about Walker I never saw mentioned before...

He has disbanded the board of pardons and has vowed never to pardon anyone.

This was brought forward in our local paper, The Sheboygan Press, talking about a Iraq vet, who wants to be a police officer but can't since he punched out a guy in an argument, breaking the other guy's nose.

Oh, but you bet your ass, if any of Walker's cronies especially those convicted in the John Doe investigation asked?
Or anyone who can give Walker a big fat contribution?

Instant pardon!

I knew he has issued exactly ZERO pardons but I didn't know he disbanded the board of pardons too.

He is just the kind of human being it is easiest to hate.

But more specifically, he reminds me of the worst of the kids I work with. Immaturity. That's the word I was looking for. It seems like he's locked in a perpetually childish state.

Unfortunately it usually takes nothing less than a serious personal tragedy for someone like that to grow up, and I doubt it ever will happen for Walker.

He's the kind of kid who laughs when his friends light a cat on fire, or giggles when he pulls the wings off of flies. It's downright disturbing.

Fire-setting and cruelty to animals during childhood are linked to the development of antisocial personality.

Some doctors believe that psychopathic personality (psychopathy) is the same disorder. Others believe that psychopathic personality is a similar but more severe disorder.
