Maryland's Gov.Martin O'Malley just threw Gov. Walker under the bus

[eleny]

He was the first guest along with Sherrod Brown on Hardball (MSNBC) and said that those guys, like Walker and Kasich are nuts. You have to work with labor and you don't go after the labor movement.

P.S. O'Malley is a Dem.

1. Whatever happened to politicians being afraid of labor? Not that that was a good thing,

or maybe it was.

2. It was a good thing.

Trust me.

4. They should be afraid of labor as they should be of their electorate, but they are not. n/t

3. My man! A great Governor!

5. Of course, that assumes that a decent man like O'Malley....

...would be on the same bus with Walker in the first place.

By the way, I really hope Martin O'Malley is elected president in 2016.

6. Former PA Gov Ed Rendell said about the same thing yesterday.

He added that governors can't cut state workforce and at the same time give huge tax breaks to companies.

Interesting how the talk of tax breaks is brought into these conversations...too bad this kind of talk got shouted out of the tax debate last December.

7. I hope the bus has a union driver!

Just sayin.....

8. I thought you could only throw someone from your own team under the bus.

He dissed him yes, but that is not the way I understand that term.


Throw under the bus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To throw (someone) under the bus is an idiomatic phrase meaning to sacrifice some other person, usually one who is undeserving or at least vulnerable and often a friend or ally, to make personal gain.


Even if it were an ally who had done it, this would not fit Walker at all. "Undeserving?" I think not.

9. I figured they were both governors which says something

They do have their meetings. Oh, well.
