About Wrong-Way Walker's Recent "Pants On Fire" Rating
There are times when our Governor's words raise real doubts about the world he lives in, or the connections he maintains with the world the rest of us inhabit.
It is an impenetrable bubble? Was he so addicted to the ephemeral, fact-and-challenge-and-consequence-free nature of the talk radio stage on which he performed for so many years that, even today, he just talks and talks and talks without a shred of logic or genuine information or awareness or concern for the ramifications of what comes out of his mouth?
How else do we explain this recent bizarre claim that PolitiFact rated it "ridiculous"?
Who would take him seriously as a national political figure, let alone qualified to run a state government?
And note also that in Walker's full PolitiFact archive the "False" and "Pants on Fire" ratings outnumber his "True" ratings, without modifiers and qualifications on either side of the equation, by 38-to-10.

Walker's not stupid. He's simply made the cynical calculation that anything he says will be taken for gospel by enough people to win elections.
Why else would make absurd claims like this, or the easily falsifiable attacks on Burke re: Trek income tax?
