Today Scott Walker released a new commercial which stands to be my favorite Scott Walker video thus far. It’s a parody of the Mac Ads with a good respectable Scott and a mustachioed glasses wearing imposter, which is the Scott Walker Lena Taylor wants you to believe in.
With the ad Scott Walker’s campaign released this statement:
While critics try to tarnish Scott’s positive record, he is on the frontlines fighting for the taxpayers, said Campaign Manager Georgia Maxwell, “His innovative plan to fund our parks would add nearly 20,000 labor hours, while saving taxpayers millions. Beyond this, he remains committed to enhancing our transportation system to grow our community and to attract jobs. His 2008 budget maintained the price of a weekly bus pass from last year. Scott will continue to look for innovative ways to save money and to provide the quality services that we expect”
Walker also posted this video on YouTube showing how is committed to the Milwaukee County Transit System in its current form.
Scott Walker was also the first politician in the state of Wisconsin to make a statement about the retirement of Brett Favre saying: “Brett, thanks for 160 wins, 253 consecutive starts, 442 touchdown passes, 61,655 passing yards and a million great memories. Thanks for making us proud to be Packer fans!”
McCain also mentioned the retirement of Brett Favre.
Brett is waiting on you Lena.
From the sporting sense I think any true Green and Gold lover will remember the time and their location on the fateful moment when Brett Jesus Favre announced that he would no longer play professional football. I got the news a bit later since I was studying this morning, but thankful a bears fan asked me if I was crying about the loss of America’s favorite quarterback. Then I threw on ESPN and my mouth just dropped. Favre retired for a legit reason, to be able to play for 17 years is astonishing, and I can’t blame him for being tired of doing that. It’s going to be sad to see this era end and I’m not sure how I like the idea of Aaron Rodgers be announced as the starting quarterback, but I am proud to have cheered for Brett Favre, owned a number 4 jersey and been able to see him play his entire career in Green Bay. He owns nearly all major passing accomplishments and he’ll be a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. Brett went out on top in my opinion. It’s a real tough to make it to the NFC championship game, and he was smart to not want to try and do it again, because the Packers could have come up short, and Favre would probably have regret coming back. And if you are wondering, yes I did shed a tear. Not exactly because he retired, but because TV showed the December 23rd 2003 rout of the Raiders where Favre went for 399 yards and four touchdowns the day after his father’s death.
Here is the Favre statement on why he is retiring. -Somewhere in the voicemail you can hear Favre say he blames Scott Walker for falling short in the playoffs and for his retirement.
