Scott Walker, who has held elective office since he was 25, is not a “career politician”. Let Scottie explain:
“A career politician, in my mind, is somebody who’s been in Congress for 25 years,” Walker said.

Some people have laughed at Scottie about this, but I fully understand where he’s coming from.
You see, in my mind, I am a career politician. In fact, I’m president of the United States, granted extraordinary powers due to a national emergency, and I’ve solved all our nation’s problems. (If you read this blog regularly, you can see how I would do it). I’ve dealt successfully with climate change, income inequality, and annoying ATM fees, and I’ve put Jamie Dimon in jail, among scores of other accomplishments. In my mind, the United States is a virtual paradise, living at peace with all people everywhere, all because of me.
Also, in my mind, I am 25 years old (the constitutional age requirements having been waived in my case) and members of the opposite sex are falling all over themselves just to get near me. Outside of my mind, they appear to employ extraordinary self restraint, to the point where most of the time they don’t even seem to see me, but inside my mind, they let themselves loose. Also, in my mind, I’ve won an Olympic gold medal, have led the Red Sox to multiple World Series victories, and was invited to join the Beatles, but passed that up because they weren’t as musically inventive as me.
So I get it. When things outside of your mind aren’t going your way, it’s always pleasant to go inside your mind, where things can go pretty much as you’d like. Like me, Scottie must go there fairly often, because in his mind, he’s fit to be president. I’m betting that Scottie will be spending a lot of time in his mind in the near future, because outside of his mind, things aren’t going so well for him.
