Republican laughing point of the day ....

POLITICO's James Hohmann reports on some home-state boosterism:

Scott Walker wants Mitt Romney to pick Paul Ryan as his running mate.

“I’m a homer,” the Wisconsin governor told POLITICO Saturday. “I’ve known Paul for years. I grew up 15 miles down the road from him.”

“But what I like about him, even if I’m not from Wisconsin, is even the fact that he’s seriously on the vetting list suggests to me that Mitt Romney’s serious about wanting to do something about the budget,” he added. “If you want to tackle the budget, even if it’s not exactly the Ryan plan, there’s nobody better both in terms of knowing the budget. But also, you want to get something passed in the Congress, there’s nobody better.”

Walker made the comment during an interview at the National Governors Association meeting in Colonial Williamsburg.

Is he one o' them "homer-seckshuls" True Christians™ hear about on Sunday morning? How they're evil and all and don't deserve jack shit, even though they pay their taxes? What better place to learn how to hate this week than church.
