Scott Walker’s Crazy Train Pulls Into Lunatic Junction
What does a guy have to do to get himself committed for psychiatric evaluation these days? GOP congressional candidate Scott Walker seems determined to find out.
I missed this when it came out a couple of days ago, but Walker, who has talked before about his problems with alcohol, took his cell phone into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and put it out in public on a live Facebook feed. I’m really unsure how crazy one has to be to fail to understand that the entire foundation of AA is that people there stay anonymous. It’s right there in the fucking name.
Walker didn’t show anyone’s face but his own, but others’ voices were heard telling their stories in the 10 minutes he broadcast. His excuse was that he wanted people to see an organization that fights addiction in action; Facebook, unimpressed, suspended his account for three days.
If I ever meet this pitiful soul, I intend to congratulate him on surpassing Micheal Miller as Delaware’s worst major-party candidate for Congress in my lifetime.
AA is bullshit
I don’t doubt it, but that doesn’t make Scott Walker sane.
AA is not bullshit. It has saved millions of alcoholics.
It works for some and doesn’t work for others. No excuse for its religious overtones — and, for that reason, should never be mandated by the legal system, as it frequently is.
This race is not a complete waste of time. For the next decade or more, we’ll be able to point to his vote totals by district as the level of incorrigibly stupid voters. So when a real race pops up, we can say “Well, the Walker line in that district was at 23%.” as a way of gauging how many idiots will pull the R lever no matter what.
Great point. The Mendoza Line for political incompetence.
As noted a bright side to everything as the ridicule potential is off the charts, the gold standard of political stupidity if you will.
Never underestimate how base and reactionary it can go. Nadir could be years away.
