The Stupid

Josh Marshall examines Scott Walker's latest bit of evil.

I don't think this is necessarily a way to maintain the privilege of riches, as he suggests at the end.  It's rather that Walker - who failed to graduate from college - is placing himself as an anti-intellectual populist.  True, he's a "populist" in the pocket of the Koch brothers, but if he can run against pointy-headed elitists who think and read and shit, he'll have an angle to the GOP nomination.

I am hopeful that this is not a venue to the White House, but one never knows.
