David Koch calls Scott Walker: Not quite “The Real Thing”

Posted on February 23rd, 2011 by The Cinch Review

As is being reported, a blogger named Ian Murphy posed as major conservative philanthropist/mover & shaker David Koch (pronounced coke) and got though a call to the Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker.

Although the blogger is trying to make the most of his coup, the real story is how despite his best efforts to draw the governor into being as boorish and stupid as he is, the governor says (in what he took to be a private telephone call with a supportive figure) just what he has been saying in public. Even the transcript edited by the blogger shows that. The effort to demonstrate some kind of evil, secret cabal of union-busters demonstrates the exact opposite.
