Fairly incredible. A hoaxster from the Daily Beast poses as David Koch and calls Scott Walker. There are two parts.
The youtube is titled Koch Whore: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and that pretty much says it all.
The hoaxster, we must hope, did his research to get a Koch sounding voice and mannerisms, because otherwise it’s simply incredible that Walker didn’t see through this.
The fact, however, is that his no-negotiation strategy will work. He will get his way, just like Bush always got his. Not only that, he will have enough money and propaganda behind him to convince the people he’s screwing that he’s doing the right thing, enabled, as he points out, by the New York Times, which sent its reporters into Wisconsin with orders to find some union members that would trash talk the public employees.
Someday, before I die, there will be a Democratic President of the United States, blessed with large majorities in Congress, who will get into office and refuse to compromise on his or her progressive beliefs. Then, we will get some of the things we’ve been hoping for, like real health care reform, union rights, real financial regulation, and action on global warming. Someday that will happen.
No. I’m kidding. It won’t happen.
CORRECTION: My error. The faux Koch was from the Buffalo Beast, not the Daily Beast.
