David Koch

Yesterday Gov. Scott Walker recieved a prank call from a blogger who runs a page called "The Beast." The blogger pretends to be David Koch, the wealthy financial backer who funds the Tea Party and other right wing antics. Scott Walker apparently believed he was really talking to David  Koch.  What resulted was Walker getting recorded admitting that he was going to start firing public employees to strong arm the Democrats to reconvene so he can push his union busting bill through. 

There are many other things revealed in this call, including manipulating protesters. Here's a direct link to the recording:
