Wisconsin Republicans introduce Idiot Protection Act to ban prank calls

Wisconsin Republicans introduce Idiot Protection Act to ban prank calls

by Barbara Morrill

This is so sweet! Wisconsin Republicans want to help Governor Scott Walker avoid making an idiot of himself ... again:

A week after Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker received a prank call from blogger Ian Murphy, who posed as conservative billionaire David Koch, two Wisconsin legislators introduced a bill Monday that would ban prank calls, reports the Badger Herald.

Republican state Sen. Mary Lazich and Republican state Rep. Mark Honadel said their measure would forbid deceiving the call’s recipient into believing the caller is someone he or she is not.

The kicker?

The bill’s authors deny any correlation between the proposed law and last week’s false call made to Walker.

:rofl:

2. Help Scott Walker avoid making an idiot of himself
It's going to take more than a bill to get that done. This guy is a class A+ moron.

3. The Republicans never fail to amaze
The only people dumber than this are the folks that voted them into office.

4. LOL. I LOVE how the GOP is for "smaller" govt and fewer laws
unless those laws benefit them by hiding their criminal activity.
