More sketchiness rides with Walker

Great work from Capper in exposing another rider on the Harley rides Scott Walker would take as Milwaukee County Executive, which were nothing more than corporately-sponsored campaign events. Capper tells us about a caucus scandal refugee and GOP fundraiser for the Fitzegerald brothers who seems to have gotten a prime spot on the ride after giving money to Walker's campaign. You put it together with what I brought up last week regarding Walkergate criminal Tim Russell's coordination role and AirTran's pay-for-play sponsorship of the Harley ride, and you get a glimpse into how bought off Walker was even before he got the eye of David Koch.

And now you combine it with Koch's admission that he is giving big money to help Walker through "independent" groups like Americans for Prosperity, and you realize that Scotty is nothing more than an amoral puppet, always in search of another dollar, and willing to do whatever is necessary in order to get it. Without regard to the damage caused by anyone else.

Sure make you wonder what he and the WisGOPs have been promised in exchange for supporting a mining bill that Wisconsinites overwhelmingly reject in a recent poll. You can bet it's nothing that helps the average Wisconsinite, but probably has a big payoff for the fortunate few that are in WisGOP's inner circle.
