Walker Booed, asked to leave Downtown Tavern.

Another hero is born:

Scott Walker Asked to Leave Local Restaurant

You know you're not well liked when you are asked to leave a local tavern because people boo-ing at you causes an upset, but this is exactly what happened to Wisconsin State Governor Scott Walker on Friday the 18th of February.

The Merchant in Madison, WI confirms that on Friday night, Patrick Sweeney (one of the owners) politely asked Scott Walker to leave the establishment when other customers began boo-ing him. A bartender at The Merchant said that, "his presence was causing a disturbance to the other customers and management asked him to leave."

Above is a hyperlink to the restaurant's website. I spoke to a bartender there just before posting this article. If you'd like to give them a call to say thank you, I am sure they wouldn't mind or give your patronage and thanks in person the next time you are in Madison.

If he trys to run for President, let them try and pull that line out. Stick to your country club pal!

6. They need to pass around photos of repub reps and senators

No reason they shouldn't feel the wrath of the public, they are just as culpable. I am sure they eat as well.

7. Too bad they don't sell gift cards, my daughter lives in Mad

City. They are getting a ton of free publicity. I will be sure to dine there the next time I visit.

8. If every small business

in Wisconsin were to tell him he is not wanted, maybe he will start to HATE HIS JOB. Let him go to a corporate outlet, those seem to be where his friends are.
