(51,134 posts)45. Did Self-Styled ‘Mr. Morality’ Scott Walker Father a Love Child in 1988?

A variation of this rumor was posted at Gawker late last month (like four days ago), though per then-Gawker writer Maureen OConnor (who mentioned the rumor as one of the tips she received but never wrote up at the time) it was sent to her in February of 2011:
From: Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Hungary
To: Maureen OConnor ... Feb 22, 2011 ...
I have, at this point, what is just a rumor, but its one from a reliable source and would be a GREAT scoop if it could be verified. Our high school educated Governor Scott Walker is reported to have been tossed out of Marquette University for impregnating a married, 30 year old woman. He is SUCH a family values guy.
..... there is a major discrepancy between the two stories namely, the age of the lady Walker allegedly knocked up and then abandoned. One has her as a thirty-year-old; the other, as an eighteen-year-old student and Walkers girlfriend ....
UPDATE: Conspiracy theorists might well wonder if these rumors are being released to distract from this bit of news:
With the recall election less than two days away, federal prosecutors are closing in on Governor Scott Walker ...

Yeah, it was Karl who announced, just days before the election, that Bush was AWOL

It's being debunked by people who don't have a pro-Walker agenda. But don't let that stop you!
