Are his fifteen minutes up?

What really bothers me about Scott Walker's claim that his handling of Labor Union protesters in Wisconsin prepares him for dealing with ISIS isn't the comparison of Union protesters to terrorists (let's face it, that's pretty par for the course for republicans these days) but rather the abject naivete inherent in that claim.

I mean, the last time I checked, terrorists couldn't be rounded up by sending out the local sheriff.  And terrorists don't care that you have a majority of the votes in the legislature.  They also don't accept laws they think are wrong and go on with their lives.  Most of all, democracy means nothing to them--when they fight back it's with violence.

Frankly, his ball-less bullying would go over about as well as Bush the Lesser's faux bravado.  They'd have a little chuckle and go back to killing.

Tick-tock, Governor, tick-tock.

Peace,
