Blogger Ian Murphy from the Buffalo Beast, pretending to be David Koch, had a conversation with Governor Scott Walker about the current union battle in Wisconsin.
Buffalo Beast has crashed (probably due to the unexpected traffic load), but Jason Linkins of the Huffington Post describes the call here.
The governor resists many of Murphy’s efforts to goad him into a right-wing rant, but Slate’s David Weigel thinks that the governor erred by revealing his endgame.
From Governor Walker’s office:
The Governor takes many calls everyday. Throughout this call the Governor maintained his appreciation for and commitment to civil discourse. He continued to say that the budget repair bill is about the budget. The phone call shows that the Governor says the same thing in private as he does in public and the lengths that others will go to disrupt the civil debate Wisconsin is having.
