Busted: Scott Walker fell for Prankster posing as David Koch (updated)
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 10:41 AM by ProSense
Via Daily Kos: Busted: Scott Walker fell for Prankster posing as David Koch

We all know that Governor Scott Walker takes his orders from Billionaires and Tea Party loaders Koch Brothers. But thanks to this guy named Murphy, we know how much Scott Walker is in bed with the Koch Brothers.

Scott Walker just got the Sarah Palin's treatment when someone called him while posing as David Koch. Just like Palin, Walker believed it and fall into the trap.

In fact, if you hear closely to the tapes or read the transcript, you will be just as outraged as I was when I first heard the tape.

Part I:

<...>

Here the Transcript:

Walker: Hi; this is Scott Walker.

Koch: Scott! David Koch. How are you?

Walker: Hey, David! I’m good. And yourself?

Koch: I’m very well. I’m a little disheartened by the situation there, but, uh, what’s the latest?

<...>

Koch: Now you’re not talking to any of these Democrat bastards, are you?

Walker: Ah, I—there’s one guy that’s actually voted with me on a bunch of things I called on Saturday for about 45 minutes, mainly to tell him that while I appreciate his friendship and he’s worked with us on other things, to tell him I wasn’t going to budge.

<...>


OMG! Is this for real?

Updated to add this from Mother Jones: Did Scott Walker Get Crank-Call Pwned? (AUDIO)

1. It appears to be as real as the sun coming up in the east.

3. People who don't believe in
conspiracies should listen to this shit. This is all being done under the auspices of Corporate America.

4. It sounds fake to me,the conversation seems cartoonish
a little too much like listening to what one would imagine the bad guys would sound like, the only thing missing is the handlebar mustaches. Also, Scott doesn't give out any more information than one can know from reading media reports. This part of the conversation is laughable:
Koch: Well, not the liberal bastards on MSNBC.

Walker: Oh yeah, but who watches that? I went on “Morning Joe” this morning. I like it because I just like being combative with those guys, but, uh. You know they’re off the deep end.

Koch: Joe—Joe’s a good guy. He’s one of us.

Walker: Yeah, he’s all right. He was fair to me…

Koch: Beautiful; beautiful. You gotta love that Mika Brzezinski; she’s a real piece of ass.

Walker: Oh yeah.

Koch: That son of a bitch!

Walker: Yeah no kidding huh?…

Koch: Well, good; good. Good catching up with ya’.


The whole thing is a little too over the top. It's fake.

8. I've already apologized for doubting it in another thread. It
certainly does sound too cartoonish to be true ,proving once again that truth is stranger than fiction.

7. It's been confirmed.
http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/scott-walker-koch-brother-crank-call-wisconsin

UPDATE: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's office confirms that the recording of a call between the governor and an alt-weekly writer posing as David Koch, one of the billionaire GOP financier brothers, is real and that it is actually Walker on the recording. The governor's office has released a statement:

The Governor takes many calls everyday," Walkers spokesman, Cullen Werwie said in a statement. "Throughout this call the Governor maintained his appreciation for and commitment to civil discourse. He continued to say that the budget repair bill is about the budget. The phone call shows that the Governor says the same thing in private as he does in public and the lengths that others will go to disrupt the civil debate Wisconsin is having.
