Scott Walker once signed a note ‘Molotov’ instead of ‘mazel tov’

Scott Walker learned the hard way about the importance of an editor.

In an undated letter found in one of two John Doe investigations against Walker by the liberal group One Wisconsin Now, the Wisconsin Governor signed a note “Molotov” instead of “mazel tov,” according to the Capital Times.

In the note to Franklyn Gimbel, chairman of the Wisconsin Center District, Walker says his office would be happy to approve a request to set up a menorah at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to celebrate Hanukkah.

At the time of the letter, Walker was Milwaukee County executive.

Now, as governor, Walker has had a bit more luck with those of the Jewish faith, speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Last Vegas in March.

Walker, who is currently eyeing a run for president in 2016, is currently seventh among 11 potential presidential candidates, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
