http://wonkette.com/568826/scott-walker-wished-jewish-friends-a-merry-jewish-christmas-and-an-incendiary-new-yearWisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is definitely giving some serious thought to running for president like, more serious thought than Donald Trump, even and to do that, hes going to have to prove that he is a friend of Israel and of The Jews. Not necessarily a friend to the majority of American Jews, who foolishly keep supporting Democrats, despite Ben Shapiro yelling at them, but he needs to at least prove that hes worthy of some Sheldon Adelson money. And so he makes the appropriate gestures of love for Israel, which is both a great beacon of democracy and a necessary prop that will be needed to bring about the End Times. He even made a point of goysplaining, at a Las Vegas Adelsonfest, that he named his son Matthew, which is Hebrew for gift from God, and that he celebrates the Birth of Our Saviour Jesus Christ with both Christmas lights and a menorah candle. See, hes trying real hard! Unfortunately, not every attempt to be hip and fit in works so well, as we are reminded by Madisons Capital Times. As part of a document dump from last years John Doe investigations of Walkers administration, the group One Wisconsin found an amusing artifact from Walkers pre-governor days, when he was Milwaukee County executive. Franklyn Gimbel, an attorney from Milwaukee, had written about setting up a Chanukah display at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, and Walker enthusiastically replied:
Walker told Gimbel his office would be happy to display a menorah celebrating The Eight Days of Chanukah at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, and asked Gimbel to have a representative from Lubavitch of Wisconsin contact Walkers secretary, Dorothy Moore, to set it up.
Nice! Servicey! We also like the Exotic Culture Quotation marks around The Eight Days Of Chanukah, as if he were dealing with something really obscure. You know it as corn, but we call it maize. And then the closing of the undated letter:
Thank you again and Molotov.
