Meet the new Nixon (same as the old Nixon)

No, Tricky Dick has not been reanimated; it's just Governor Wa*ker living up to his new billing as the most odious pol in recent Wisconsin history in a most Nixon-like fashion:

Specifically, (Madison Police) Chief Noble Wray says that Walker's claim that he considered sending infiltrators into the crowd (prompted by a suggestion by "Koch," played by blogger Ian Murphy) made him nervous.

"I would like to hear more of an explanation from Governor Walker as to what exactly was being considered, and to what degree it was discussed by his cabinet members," Wray said. "I find it very unsettling and troubling that anyone would consider creating safety risks for our citizens and law enforcement officers."

So this is what Citizens United indirectly brings to the table viz-a-viz American democracy circa 2011 AD.

Consider me wholly unimpressed.
