Walker And Nixon, Taping Problems. Honestly.

Scott Walker shares an unfortunate similarity to the late, disgraced, (and sorta recalled) President Richard Nixon.

An inveterate liar himself, Nixon was surrounded by loyal staffers and "Plumbers" who went off to prison, done in one and all by what was found on Nixon's secret audio tapes.

Walker has piled up PolitiFact truthiness outings at a jaw-dropping pace.

Like this one:

Scott Walker

As a political argument, it may work. But as a financial one? Experts say not so much

"We’re broke. We don’t have any more money."

And Walker himself disclosed that he and his coterie had discussed sending a local variation of 'plumbers' into the peaceful Madison protester ranks to cause trouble- - disclosed on a taped call when he seemed to be channeling a scheming Tricky Dick for the benefit of the fake David Koch.

Oh, the ironies!

Now there's this:

Walker had state officials last week tell a Madison judge that protesters had caused $7.5 million damage to the Capitol with poster tape.

And then a day later say, ah, disregard that claim. Even though it was central to their case that protesters disrespected the Capitol, and shouldn't be allowed to stay in the Capitol - - an argument which the judge affirmed in part when he said protesters could not stay there overnight.

By week's end, the state was saying damage could total less than 1% of their first figure.

Playing fast and loose with facts...as well as with Capitol images manipulated for television.

Seems Nixon and Walker have taping and honesty issues.

Coincidence?
