Why Snotty Scotty Best Get Used To Questions He Doesn't Like: Evolution, Climate, Vaccines . . ..
t's almost as if Scott Walker knew he could get in trouble just by traveling to London. In the UK for a trade mission, the governor of Wisconsin and likely presidential candidate went to the Chatham House think tank to talk Wisconsin business on Wednesday — and ended up the headline of stories about, of all things, evolution. Walker seemed to suspect something was coming. Answering a question about political polarization, he brought up the unpredictability of media coverage and referred specifically to the recent London visit of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who ended up on the defensive over comments about vaccines.
"Look at my colleague, my friend," Walker said, referring to Christie. "When he came here a week or so ago, and I'm not going to get into his statement, but just saying that became the focus [of news coverage] … even though that probably wasn't the most substantive thing he was talking about here. And yet for whatever reason, that was the lead in many ways on the news."
Ed. - Gee, I wonder why? Could it have anything to do with the fact that he displayed monumental stupidity and slim-to-no understanding of the basics of medicine on the world stage? 
EDIT
"For me, I'm going to punt on that one," Walker said. "That's a question a politician shouldn't be involved in one way or the other, so I'm going to leave that up to you." Up until that moment, the story of the London trip might have been Walker's deference to Obama. Instead, it became, in the words of an Associated Press headline, "Wisconsin Gov. Walker Refuses to Answer Evolution Question."
Walker's political team back home scrambled to fix things, releasing a statement saying he believes "faith and science are compatible." But remarkably, for a man who has run for high office, Walker didn't have a ready-to-repeat answer on evolution. His staff didn't even know his views before drafting the statement. But Walker learned a few lessons. First, there's no protection from out-of-the-blue questions. Second, Republicans, as Webb suggested, get special treatment when traveling abroad. And third, it doesn't matter if a candidate wants to talk about cheese and industrial sand, he's never the one setting the agenda.
