Republican Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who is currently leading the charge to strip state workers (nurses, teachers etc) of their right to collectively bargain, fell for a prank call from the current editor of The Buffalo Beast, Ian Murphy. Murphy posed as David Koch, of the infamous Koch brothers, a pair of billionaires who not only own the petroleum behemoth Koch Industries, but also provide financial support to the Tea Party and climate change denial movements. In fact, the Koch brothers have donated over $100 million to right-wing causes. Anyways, Governor Walker believed he was talking to one of his pay masters, and has completely embarrassed himself by admitting to a "union busting" agenda, to threaten workers with layoffs, to create divisions between public and private sector unions: Wednesday, February 23, 2011
