He looks like he's a few slices short of a loaf. Don't people who's eyes are all fucked up like his and Ron Christie's get paid enough money to see an eye Dr? Or do the think cockeyed-ness is an endearing trait? Makes me just want to slap their eyes straight in their heads.

I figure he was delivered with forceps.

(But I'd check him for coat hanger scars too.)

Scott Walker: I'm 'The Most' Qualified On Foreign Policy Because I Visited Six Countries
By David


Likely Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker argued on Sunday that he would be the most qualified person to lead the country's foreign policy because he had visited six countries while serving as governor of Wisconsin.
........
"If I choose to get into this race... I'm going to lay out a very clear plan for what we should do going forward and how we should address the issues we face here in America, and the issues we face around the world," he told CBS News host Bob Schieffer on Sunday. "I think there is a wide open door to lay out a very clear doctrine."

"And I do think if foreign policy plays an important role, the contrast will be clear because just about everywhere Hillary Clinton has played a role with this president -- under President Obama -- that part of the world is largely a failure, a mess," he continued. "Because of the policies we've seen from Obama and Clinton."

After noting that Walker had recently visited Israel, a trip partially paid for by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, Schieffer wondered what made the Wisconsin governor qualified to lead the county's foreign policy.

"As a governor, I've been, just recently in Germany, in Spain and France," Walker explained. "Earlier in the year, it was the United Kingdom on trade related missions. A few years back in China and Japan. So, that's probably the most of any governor of either party has is that experience in terms of trade relations."...............

as they saw the wisdom of his statements.
Aho is moron in Japanese.

To be truthful; I have no idea if anyone said Aho in relationship to Snotty Wanker. I find it hard to imagine otherwise. One thing the nation of Japan treasures is education, formal university education.

In a discussion about foreign policy this dipshit says Reagan's greatest action was firing domestic air traffic controllers.

See, if you're a union worker in Wisconsin and you feel like you're being treated like the enemy, it's not your imagination.

The vacant look in his eyes? I remember seeing that look in the Hitler Youth. And that fucking hair.....Jesus, did mommy comb that for you, Scott?

That would make him a foreign policy expert in republican circles.

to look into how many times a sitting governor has appeared on Face the Nation talking about foreign policy. I bet even Reagan didn't do it. Unless he's on a trade mission for Wisconsin, I don't see why his opinions should be featured - and the rest of us could give two shits!

17. Trade mission for Wisconsin????

Trading what?
Cheese?
Already a trade item, subject to food laws of both nations. Neither one of which is Wisconsin; in all variations of respective countries.
Packer Goods?
Outside of the USA footballs are round. Nobody cares.
Beer?
British, Japanese, and German beers are generally better. Israel has quite a few craft beers, I am unfamiliar with Spanish beers, and 5000+ years of Chinese civilization has to have produced a good beer at some point.
The current Wisconsin approach to education?
Why would anyone want increasingly stupider people living near them. For that matter, why does he think Wisconsinites do?
Tourism?
I've heard Japanese, German, Spanish, and Hebrew spoken by people in Wisconsin dells. Twice, variations on "Cheese for breakfast?"
Promoting living in a subsidiary of Koch Industries?
Germany, England, Israel, and China all had negative experiences with nationalistic fascism in the last century; probably reluctant to play again. Spain was fascist until 1978, but not so aggressive in expansion.

When are you going to announce your candidacy?
I expect to complete the work on the state budget by mid June. Once I've finished the framework to bankrupt the state to enrich the already wealthy. I'm coming for the rest of you. Vote for me.

He's the most qualified to direct foreign policy because he visited six foreign lands as Governor of WI.

The only problem with more than 10 years in Iraq is that we aren't still there.

Most significant event was named by Scottie, and that of course was the Gipper firing Air Traffic Controllers.

....Is there ANY non-Walker-family witness that can remember Scott tying yellow ribbons to the trees in the Walker's front yard? I'd bet a buck to a donut that's PURE fabrication.

And THIRTEEN and being impressed with Reagan's union-busting??? I suppose where most other toddlers had a teddy bear for a comfort toy, Scott had a stuffed elephant!
