About Walker's "surprise" at Koch support

Saw his "surprise" referenced in today's news as Walker was heading out to Cali to audition again for the Koch oilmens' money.

Walker has had some other 'surprises' about money and politicking to contend with:

Wisconsin Supreme Court shuts down John Doe investigation
The John Doe investigation began as a probe into conservative groups and donors who backed Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign during the recall election of 2012. Investigators were seeking to prove those groups, most notably the Wisconsin Club for Growth, had coordinated with Walker’s campaign, which would be a violation of state campaign finance law. 
David Prosser says he didn't need to step aside in Scott Walker probe 
Madison— Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser issued a letter Wednesday saying he did not need to step aside from cases over an investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's campaign even though groups under investigation had spent heavily to support him.  
Prosser's letter to attorneys revealed two of the people caught up in the investigation had been involved in Prosser's 2011 re-election bid and had stressed the importance of finding donors for him. 
Rough ride for Walker, what with all the surprises, though his repeated visits to see the Kochs in California has removed one of the major Walker 'I don't knows' from his long list.

Don't worry, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is catapulting Walker's budget talking points right now on jsonline! Their mislabeled "Budget Clarity" is more Walker flim-flam. They repeat the lies about it being balanced, never pointing out that, by law, ALL budgets are balanced. Yup, even Jim Doyles.

Nor do they mention that Scott Walker had to use GAAP accounting to claim "we're broke" under Jim Doyle's budget. MJS doesn't want you to know this, but Walker never kept his promise to use GAAP in his budgets. Under GAAP, Walker's budget is not at all balanced.

MJS is providing cover and doesn't want you to realize: WALKER CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS -- USING GAAP TO MISREPRESENT DOYLES BALANCED BUDGET AND WHILE CREATING ANOTHER "UNBALANCED BUDGET" IF IT IS BROKEN DOWN BY GAAP!

Either Walker lied when he said "We're Broke" all those times in 2010-2011, or he's lying now when he says his budget is balanced and is projecting a surplus. You can't have it both ways.

Don't expect any clarity or truth from Walker's BFF Milwaukee Journal Sentinel!

Prosser proclaiming he didn't need to recuse? Sounds like another temper tantrum is coming. The women on the court and their assistants probably better wear protective gear around their necks until Psycho-Judge David Prosser blows.
