Anyone have any clue if that is real? It sounds exactly like Walker but I'm just hesitant to believe anyone's this dumb.
I'm listening to it now, and it's like - he's saying pretty much the same stuff he's already said - the Koch impersonator is actually seeming to make him a little uncomfortable...

From USA today: "Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirms the governor is on audio of the call posted Wednesday on the website of the Buffalo Beast, a left-leaning New York newspaper" (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-02-23-wisconsin-public-unions_N.htm)

Yeah some of it was same old same old. But some of it was news to me...like his plan to send out 6,000 "at risk for being laid off" notices as a scare tactic and that he considered planting people in the protests to cause trouble.

And some of it was just plain weird (like the Reagan stuff, or talking about his plan as "a bomb"). Delusions of grandeur. And of course the whole "Yes that would be outstanding" in response to "after you crush these bastards I'll fly you to Cali."

It's also the closest admission I've heard from him about this being coordinated in multiple states.

Walker: I talk to Kasich every day-John's gotta stand firm in Ohio. I think we could do the same thing with Scott in Florida. I think, uh, Snyder-if he got a little more support-probably could do that in Michigan. You start going down the list there's a lot of us new governors that got elected to do something big.

Koch: You're the first domino.
Walker: Yes, this is our moment.
