5. Scott Walker would have to impale babies on spikes to lose support from the enthralled masses.

Seriously, what would it take for the Stand with Walker crowd to abandon their “hero?”

http://bloggingblue.com/2012/06/01/what-would-it-take/

I’ve struggled with this question for some time now. What would Walker have to do to get them to see him for who he is? Let’s face it, he’s got the following record:

He has the worst Jobs Record in America
He oversaw corruption while County Executive
He’s lost 10,000 businesses
He has a legal defense fund
He has two high-priced legal mouthpieces
He’s been obstructing the John Doe investigation for two years
He’s the most dishonest governor in America according to PolitiFact

I think Eddie Izzard has the answer: Scott Walker would have to impale babies on spikes to lose support from the enthralled masses. And even then, I think they’d figure out a way to excuse it since he impaled babies and not fetuses.
