I'll just let
Esquire's Charlie Pierce chime in about Scott Walker's latest and now classic non-answer:
Let us begin with S.W., the g-e h hired by Koch Industries
to manage their Midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin.
Once highly touted by skeevy old bloggers as a real threat for the Republican
nomination, S.W. has run a campaign that is a perfect reflection of the
candidate himself – slow-witted, dumb as a sack of hair, and dull as a medieval
butter-knife. He was asked the other day about what he would do, if he were
president, about the refugee crisis exploding out of the Middle East. This is
what the putative leader of the free world said.
"I'm not president today, and I can't be president today. Everybody wants to talk about hypotheticals; there is no such thing as a hypothetical."- Scott Walker." - Scott Walker
Walker's word salad partner, Sarah Palin, also got the Pierce treatment:
There's Palin. She
took the stage at the ass-end of the Great Rally Against Unmongered War on the
Capitol lawn the other day. She delivered a speech. This is part of what was said by someone who, in the
year 2008, was one of only four people with a legitimate shot at being
president of the United States.
Thank you. Man, I never thought I'd say it, but I think you
all are a lot tougher than Alaskans, being able to be out here. I'm roastin'!
I'm meltin'! I've always said, though, sweat is my sanity, so as I sweat, let's
bring some SANITY to this discussion about this insane "treaty"
that's in front of Congress.
"Sweat is my sanity"? Well, something has to be, I
guess.
No, only in an Orwellian Obama world, full of sprinkly fairy
dust blown from atop his unicorn, as he's peeking through a really pretty pink
kaleidoscope, would he ever see victory or safety for America or Israel in this
treaty. This treaty will not bring peace. You don't reward terrorism. You kill
it.
