Forget What I Said. That Scott Walker Call? Never Happened

Last Wednesday, Stephen Moore, a scholar at the Heritage Foundation who is an outspoken supporter of an immigration overhaul, described a recent telephone call with Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, in which he said Mr. Walker had assured him he had not completely renounced his earlier support for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

“‘I’m not going nativist, I’m pro-immigration,’” Mr. Walker said, according to Mr. Moore’s account of the call to a reporter for The New York Times.

On Sunday, after three days of pressure from Mr. Walker’s aides, Mr. Moore said that he had “misspoken” when recounting his call with Mr. Walker — and that the call had never actually taken place.

The turnabout by Mr. Moore came after he was quoted Thursday in a Times article detailing Mr. Walker’s shifts on immigration, same-sex marriage and ethanol subsidies to protect his early lead in Iowa, where he is facing a well-financed challenge from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, among other rivals..................

1. He'd probably like to forget the call from one of the Koch brothers, as well.

I remember how excited he was to be able to speak to his master.

2. So, the guy now says he LIED about a phone call from a party candidate?

And the Heritage Foundation will keep an admitted liar on the payroll?

3. I think the dodge will be to say that the NYTimes

reporter misquoted him (wonder if a recording of the interview occurred). If so Moore has about as much credibility as Jayson Blair.

4. Steven Moore Is A Fraud

Not an original thought ever published by anybody but organization for whom he carried water.

His job is not to think. It's to pretend to be smart about stuff he barely understands and then behave as an officious jerk in an attempt to fool others into thinking he actually knows something.
