Walker's Relevant Day Of Unintended Irony

Announcing Thursday the irrelevancy of his views on same-sex marriage - - after years of being a gay rights' obstructionist and reaping all the benefits of the position from right-wing voters, funders and advocacy groups, and when the issue became fully relevant and newsworthy - - firmly validated Walker's thorough worthlessness.

Here's what was relevant - - and filled with fitting irony - - about his revealing statement and commitment to full-time political calculation, not policy or executive leadership, or moral conviction:

Making the announcement at an event described as muddy and messy:

During a 12-minute news conference at a muddy and messy groundbreaking event in Oak Creek, the first-term Republican governor argued that his position on same-sex marriage is no longer relevant. 
"It really doesn't matter what I think now," Walker said at one point. "It's in the constitution." 
And it's out of his hands, he suggested.

So is the public trust doctrine but he supported and signed the mining bill which includes language in direct violation of the constitution, yet he and Van Hollen didn't go to court on that.
