On the Walker prank call - the Governor of a state drops everything for a phone call?
I was having a conversation with a friend last night about this and I had to comment on this aspect.

My boss doesn't take "important" phone calls that aren't scheduled. Her boss (President of the company) has phone calls of any merit scheduled on her Outlook calendar and even then they come through her Executive Assistant.

So the Governor of a state drops everything because someone calls him on the phone? I think this is more telling of Walker's position to Koch (real or fake) than anything. Clearly Walker and his Chief of Staff saw this as a call from THE BOSS and dropped everything to take it.....and then spent 20 minutes on the unexpected phone call.

1. You do when it's your Lord and Master.
Koch says "jump" and Walker says "how high, and for how long, sir?"

9. That's it right there. Koch owns Walker, he had no choice but to answer to the tug on his leash.
Walker is just a puppet on a string.
Everyone knows it now.

4. You know HE didn't even have the time to talk

To the Mayor of Madison. I guess, a City Mayor is considered "little people" to Walker. (This was discussed on Lawrence O'Donnell's show.)

5. It's obvious that Walker is a "kiss up and kick down" fella.
It's one of the more common perversions in the authoritarian right.

6. What is in the black hair dye
that makes people goofy? Walker, Mubarak, Cal Thomas, Reagan, Ghadaffi, numerous RW politicians.

7. All Pols do it for certain members of their constituency. It is more
important to know who these "Preferred Callers" are.
