Walker: 'County exec duties' call

This sounds like a parody, but it is the real thing. Scott Walker, on his campaign blog, pretending that a taxpayer-financed trip on a Harley, to every media market in the state, is something he's required to do as part of his county exec job. So he'll "have to be off the campaign trail for a few days."

How dumb does he think people are? Here's my earlier take on "Scott Walker's Free Ride."

County Exec Duties

From Saturday, June 25 through Thursday, June 30, I will be riding around the state on the trusty Harley-Davidson Road King. It is our part of our 2005 Executive's Ride to promote tourism attractions in our county - everything from the parks, to the zoo, to the lakefront, to the state fair to Miller Park to Miller Brewing Co. About 50 bikers are going with on the entire trip and many more are meeting us in each city.

Since the ride is an official function, I will not be spending time on the campaign trail this week. Look for word from the blog next week and from updates from our blog staff while I am out on the road.

In addition to raising awareness our tourist attractions, this year we are also raising support for the families of our men and women in uniform. Details on the ride can be found here.
