Scott Walker's latest scam: Time travel [View all]

Gov Scott Walker, Time Lord: Says he left college for the birth of his son, 4 years before he was born


Gov. Walker’s official biography reports he attended Marquette University from 1986-1990. His 2010 campaign disclosed that Walker left college prior to receiving a degree with senior status after four years of “mostly full-time coursework.”

According to Walker’s latest version of events, reported on Time.com, “At first he tried to be a part time student, but quickly the births of his children took that option off the table.”

However, Walker’s official biography also says he was not married until February 1993. His first son was born in late June 1994, four years after leaving Marquette, and one year after a successful run for the State Assembly in a June 1993 special election. And in fact, the 1993 run for Assembly was his second bid for elective office since the end of his college career. He ran and lost to now U.S. Representative Gwen Moore in a State Assembly race in fall 1990.

“Gov. Walker, a young man so ambitious that he ran for state office twice before he was 25, wants us to believe that he voluntarily left college as a senior to take a part time job at a non-profit to support a family that would not exist for four years. Some would simply say, ‘c’mon’. To the national media we say, quoting Gov. Walker’s political hero Ronald Reagan, ‘trust but verify’,” concluded Ross.
