That intern is wrecking everything in Walker's office again

True to form, Gov. Never-Mistaken offers up a lower-level scapegoat instead of saying, ''I'm sorry,  or 'my bad' when an error is made on his watch, in his name, for his political benefit, or in his own words on major policy and performance matters.

The latest culprit: Interns! Turns out they do more than swipe extra doughnuts.

* When Walker's name was found at the bottom of his now-infamous letter addressed to a leading member of Milwaukee's Jewish community that substituted the word "Molotov" for the congratulatory phrase "Mazel Tov", Walker gestured down the food chain as far as his finger could point:

"It's quite possible that was done by an intern or someone on staff who never actually sent the letter off," Walker said Tuesday.

*  The workplace chupacabra bedeviling Walker operations had also struck when the page-count of high-profile jobs plan released by his 2010 campaign was inflated to contain one more page than opponent Tom Barrett's more detailed plan by displaying Walker's document in giant type. (A side-by-side comparison, here.)

You'll have to settle for that example, as the Walker campaign has removed the item from its website.

Walker didn't take responsibility for the deception, but did slap down a junior campaign aide who called attention it. Problem solved.

*  You know - - those cut-ups! What the kids won't do today, like the "overzealous political associates" the Journal Sentinel board said were at the heart of criminality unearthed by prosecutors at Walker's 2010 County Executive offices. Some of whom are or about to be interning in various correctional settings,

*  Not long ago, Walker made a national list in The Washington Post of public officials who shunted off responsibility on an embarrassing underling:

A campaign staffer, who had previously been an intern, sent a fundraising appeal for the campaign of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) asking people to give money to Walker’s reelection rather than go shopping on Black Friday for their kids. The staffer also had a series of offensive tweets on her personal account. Explanation: “We didn’t know about them. I think like most employers, we don’t spend time going back trying to find out years and years ago what people may or may not have said in social media,” Walker said, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. The staffer was fired.
