Koch On The Line: Gov. Scott Walker Punked!

Ian Murphy from the Buffalo Beast heard that Scott Walker was refusing to take calls from the AWOL WI Democrats.

Who would he talk to? How about David Koch?

Part 2 after the fold.

Transcript of the juicier bits at Ian’s original Buffalo Beast post.

They should play this over the loudspeakers at the state capitol in Madison today.

C+ Agustus II - failed out of college, failure as a human.

BWAHAHAHAHA.

That is all.

The Buffalo Beast (as it was known in the past) has done this sort of thing before with hilariously results. In fact, the second link was the cover story of their first issue.

That’s amazing.

Beautiful, YAFB, thanks for the post and the link. Blessings on the beast.

Why isn’t this on the front page of every news site? Oh, right—corporate media. Plus IOKIYAR, I guess…

Oh, Betty, you know you have to meet very strict accuracy guidelines to make it onto the front pages of the nation’s elite media outlets. The Buffalo Beast will never meet that standard.

And now stay tuned for the nightly news with our new anchor Andrew Breitbart…

Thanks, I’ve sent this out on my twitter feed

I’m sure that if a Dem governor involved in a big showdown with the tea party had agreed with, say, George Soros that Mika Brzezinski is a nice “piece of ass,” that would also be ignored by all news outlets, including Fox.

First thought that came to mind was that Walker loves the sound of his own voice,pretty one-sided “conversation”.

Who will call on Congress to make it a crime to pretend to be someone you’re not in order to make a Republican look bad.

Hahahahahaha

(I linked to it on my Facebook page.)

Oh this just makes my little heart sing. Pwned!

Link to the transcript isn’t working for me.

It was working earlier, Oblomova. Must be overloaded. Looks like the media is starting to pay attention after all. Walkers office confirmed the punking.

Comment by Betty Cracker on 02/23/11 at 01:17 PM

Not since Palin thought Sarkozy was a fan of “Nailin’ Palin” have I been so tickled by a phone prank.

Comment by Oblomova on 02/23/11 at 01:57 PM

Aww, I wish I didn’t have to wait until I got home to hear these…

Wonder how long it will be before the staff members involved will be able to join the protesters.

Comment by Hunger Tallest Palin on 02/23/11 at 02:17 PM

O, ye of little faith: This story was covered on NBC Nightly News. As in broadcast, not cable. The piece was by good ol’ Spikey Isikoff, and included audio samples and everything.

The lead-in included the assertion that Walker campaigned on this, which is a freshly zombified lie, but still. Brian Williams gets way more eyeballs than O’Reilly could ever dream of.

This is huge. Ian Murphy is a Great American.
