Gov. Scott Walker Attends Failed Ass Kissing Hearings, Gets Pummeled by Democrats.

Just in case you missed it:

jsonline: Introduced by fellow Republican Jim Sensenbrenner as a “very polarizing figure,” Gov. Scott Walker lived up to that mantle in a highly charged appearance Thursday at a congressional hearing on state budget problems. 

Lawmakers from his own party hailed him as a gutsy politician making tough choices, while Democrats seized the chance to cross-examine a governor they regard as a poster boy for conservative overreach. Democrats called him a union-buster, a divider and a vehicle for corporate interests. They derided his contention that cutting collective bargaining rights was a fiscal necessity rather than a politically motivated choice.

Here's a compilation of video clips of the event, featuring Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Bruce Braley of Iowa, and Gwen Moore of Milwaukee.

 

And again, like the true Republican he is, Walker did NOT take responsibility a bad hire:

jsonline: It's amazing how no one is willing to take the credit - or the blame - for hiring the son a prominent supporter of Gov. Scott Walker. In his testimony before a House committee, Walker responded by distancing himself from what happened:  

"That person was five levels below me. When that hiring was brought to my attention, I had my staff go back and have that person taken out of that position, and I acknowledged the fact that there were more qualified people, and I asked someone else to be put into that." 

Walker didn't mention that his chief of staff, Keith Gilkes, recommended Deschane for his first job in state government or that two cabinet secretaries signed off on his hiring.
