We are hours away from right-wing GOP Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's State of the State address, the kickoff of his Year Seven of The Great Con, wherein middling growth, crumbling roads, contaminated groundwater, cuts to education and a fast-disappearing middle class will be spun into red state Nirvana.
Walker has only one real goal in this speech: convincing Wisconsinites that he really likes being Governor, that he's really learned to love Wisconsin all over again in his phony, by-invite only 'listening sessions,' that his flirtation with the Presidency actually worked out well because he got to keep the best darn job on the planet.
And that good times are here again because Big Daddy Donald will help make Wisconsin great again by sending the state all sorts of federal money that was deemed untouchable when President Obama offered it by the boatload for Amtrak, broadband expansion and the very Medicaid expansion that, once rejected, cost state taxpayers and potential recipients hundreds of millions of life-affirming dollars and prevented some heroin addicts from getting the treatment that Walker will now say is a crisis occupying some of his attention.
So the Great Con continues, on live TV, with all sorts of nods to programs and policies that were, are and will always have been secondary to Walker's first priority: election, re-election, special-interest servitude and GOP votes at the Electoral College confab.
Also - - look for his signature fake winks and shoutouts to the Packers and UW football Badgers.
If only he could wear their jerseys, bought with Koh's cash, of course.
Now that would make for some excellent TV.
