Scott Walker's Fireside Chat

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

FDR must be spinning in his Hyde Park grave.

First the conservatives misquote him to mislead people into thinking he opposed public employees being unionized.

And now Scott Walker is going to steal his Fireside Chat to lie "directly to the people of Wisconsin" on Tuesday.

Let's hope the Democrats in the legislature have asked for time to respond to Walker, on Wisconsin Eye and any other station gullilble enough to carry his "chat."

He continues to pile whopper upon whopper and is unchallenged by the media.
