Nothing surprises me when it comes to Republicans, and frankly, I’ve lost my capacity for outrage. I listened to the “Koch”/Walker colloquy yesterday, and heard the bit that got the police chief of Madison upset, but frankly it never crossed my mind to be aghast at the idea of a state’s governor sending in goons to violently disrupt a demonstration. (He decided against it for political reasons, not because it was wrong, and just the fact that he considered it tells you all you need to know) It was only what I would expect from a Republican, so it really didn’t connect that he was admitting that he contemplated criminal behavior. After eight years of Bush and sundry other Republican outrages, hiring a few thugs seemed fairly tame.
The funny thing is, he may never have actually thought about hiring cheese eating storm troopers. He might have just been trying to tell his puppet-master what he thought he’d like to hear.
