Remember that annoying kid in class who always had his hand up because he was in love with the sound of his own voice - - but actually had nothing of substance to say that furthered the discussion?
There he was - - our Tea Party Governor with a few minutes of time on MSNBC today, - - and, again we saw that without cue cards or a script or an ear piece to prompt him, quick thinking and mere words are his enemy, as he:
* Jabbered nervously about President Obama's State of the Union speech, and noted that the President had not come out for Walker's worker training and other state-level programs.
* Talked about "the Democrat party," an intentional error used by right-wing, talk-radio inspired Republicans to diminish the Democratic Party.
* Praised President Obama for standing with the French people against terror, but then noted that he, Walker, had done the same in his State of the State speech a few days earlier. Translation: The President followed Walker's lead.
* Followed his handlers' instructions by invoking Ronald Reagan, but also drew an unfortunate comparison with The Great Communicator by exposing himself as The Great Discombobulater, when...
* He deflected a question about his lack of foreign policy experience by saying that the obviously more-experienced Hillary Clinton - - whom Walker fantasizes as his '16 opponent - - had spent time as Secretary of State in areas of the world that were now "messed up."
Not impressive.
