Did any of you get this "Brown Bag" thing from Scott Walker?

My old man got an actual brown bag from his campaign. My old man said that he ought to fill it up with dog shit and send it back to him.

2. "Brown Bag Guide to Government"?

Also, I like this:

"..The people here create jobs, not the government. That's probably the most important message. A lot of politicians, including some Republicans, believe that government creates jobs," Walker said.

Huh, so I guess public sector employees such as teachers and police officers don't have actual jobs then, Scott? How about construction workers who are given work through government generated demand, do they not have "real" jobs?

3. He's also spent $24,000 of campaign cash on expensive meals... nt

4. Yup....

...And apparently this undeniably stupid gimmick isn't even an original idea:

An anonymous Republican advised me that this new gimmick includes a direct mail component that is a total knock off on a 1998 Republican campaign. In fact, I am told that the Walker brown bag thing includes a mailing from SCM and Associates, a direct mail firm based on the east coast. This same firm did a very similar "brown bag" campaign (scroll down) in 1998 for U.S. Senator George Voinovich. It even included a brown bag accompanied by a letter from the candidate's spouse, bragging about his "thrift". Again, almost from beginning to end, the Walker gimmick follows the exact same template.
