Occupy Chicago protesters interrupt Wisconsin governor's speech here
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's breakfast speech at the Union League Club was interrupted briefly by Occupy Chicago protesters backed by unions opposed to the GOP governor's actions to curb collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Only minutes into his talk, about 50 protesters began chanting at Walker, including "Union busting, it's disgusting" and "We are the 99." The protesters left after about 10 minutes.

He should be recalled just to keep other politicians humble.
