A liar and a snake?

Throughout his speech and afterwards in an interview with the Tribune, Walker, a former member of Marquette's College Republicans and president of Marquette Students for Life, said Doyle was a liar and a "snake" and had "failed the leadership test."

"He's pretty slippery when it comes to the issues," Walker said about why he considered Doyle a snake. -- The Marquette Tribune.

That's going to be the level of discourse 10 months before the election? Scott McCallum called Doyle a crook in 2002, but it backfired badly.

Walker, of course, leaves himself wide open to the well-known Pee Wee Herman defense: "I know you are, but what am I?"
