For Walker, meals aren't always a 'brown bag'
Republican Scott Walker wants supporters of his campaign for governor to join his "brown bag movement" to show how serious he is about cutting government waste and spending.

Someone ought to tell his campaign about it.

Walker's campaign has spent thousands of dollars on food and beverages, including at high-end restaurants, even as it launches a public relations blitz to promote his claim that he's so frugal he packs his lunch every day, an Associated Press review found.

The campaign's bills for Walker's meals, campaign meetings that included meals for Walker, his staff and others, and food and drinks for fundraising events amount to at least $24,500 since mid-2008.

1. Walker is a big phony.
Walker brags about his "brownbagging," but wines-and-dines big shots.

He brags about all the jobs he'll create, but is really vague about how, if at all.
