Walker, who has taken several trips overseas in recent months to study up on foreign policy in preparation for an all-but-certain presidential bid, told a roomful of Republican donors Friday that world leaders, including Cameron, are worried about the U.S. stepping back in the world. […]

“I heard that from David Cameron back in February earlier when we were over at 10 Downing,” Walker said. “I heard it from other leaders around the world. They’re looking around realizing this lead from behind mentality just doesn’t work. It’s just not working.”

If true, this would be a break with diplomatic protocol and a legitimately big deal. It’s unpersuasive when GOP leaders run around telling voters, “Lots of foreign leaders don’t like Obama; we just can’t actually name any.” But here’s Walker saying the British prime minister personally told him that he’s unsatisfied with Obama’s leadership.

The problem, not surprisingly, is that Cameron quickly pushed back, suggesting the Wisconsinite, who’s repeatedly struggled with foreign policy, has no idea what he’s talking about.

Scott Walker is an embarrassment to us all

1. REMEMBER this:

“The Prime Minister did not say that and does not think that,” a Cameron spokesperson told Time.

This guy is willing to LIE about things our allies say in order to be elected. This is really shitty. He's not just an embarrassment, he's more than willing to lie and expect our allies to not know what he is saying.

That is delusional, and really dangerous.

2. Consider this

The first apology to America from a life long Wisconsinite for the all but certain infliction of the illness know as Scott Walker upon the commonweal. The old saying is that the eyes are the window into the soul. If this is true then Scott Walker is soulless. If it wasn't bad enough that Wisconsin afflicted America with Joe McCarthy and the the commie witch hunts he brought to us, wait till you get a load of the evangelical righteousness that will accompany Scott Walker and the train of hate he will drag around with him. Again, sincerely sorry.

6. Is it lying if one is too fucking stupid to understand a conversation?

Walker is guilty of one or the other, but I'm not sure which.

8. Ugh.
