Not a Billionaire? Use This Scott Walker Hotline

By Mike Hall

?I?m sorry, Gov. Walker?s on the line with one of his favorite billionaires. At the tone, please don?t bother to leave a message because Gov. Walker doesn?t really give a hoot what you think.?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was pranked the other day into taking a call from someone he believed was right-wing, extremist billionaire David Koch. He bragged extensively about his fight against public employees and derided the tens of thousands of Wisconsinites who have been protesting his assault on middle-class jobs. Click here for the details on the call and here for more David and Charles Koch?s involvement in the Wisconsin fight.

While Walker will gladly chat away with a billionaire benefactor, he doesn?t take citizens? phone calls and doesn?t have a message line. So the folks at Blogging Blue in Wisconsin have set up their own Scott Walker hotline (1-888-882-7921), where you can call and leave message about what you really think about his assault on workers and middle-class jobs. They will post some of the best messages.
