Buffalo Beast after the Wa*ker call: uh...

[the_archfiend]

The BB was down after a successful prank call to Wisconsin utilities salesman/ "Governor" Scott Wa*ker, hopefully for all the right reasons (unmanageable traffic, not a DDoS or hack attack), but the Raw Story chimes in instead:

A few highlights included the alleged governor warning the phony oil baron that Wisconsin House Rep. Tim Cullen, a Democrat who's voted with Republicans on numerous issues, was "not one of us;" Walker supposedly commenting that he's "got the layoff notices ready" and bragging that he's got a baseball bat with his name on it; and accepting an offer to be flown out to California for "a good time."

The call also allegedly reveals that Wisconsin Republicans are planning to hold Democrats' paychecks hostage by changing the rules to end direct deposit, placing their printed checks in their desks on the floor of the senate, forcing them to physically come in to pick them up.

The voice alleged to be Walker also said he was trying to find ways to prosecute Wisconsin Democrats on ethical violations if they accepted favors from union organizers.

Moments later in the call recording, Walker allegedly accepts an offer for similar favors from the fake Koch.

These are your state gummint tax dollars at work, Wisconsin. Hope you've got enough air sickness bags to go around.
