Breaking: Reagan Library Says Walker Tale About Getting Anointed By Nancy With Reagan Bible Not True

[Generic Other]

This is a developing story brought to you by your's truly in The Progressive.

In a nutshell, Walker frequently tells a story about how he got a special invite from Nancy Reagan to speak at the Reagan Library, how he got a special sit-down meeting with Mrs. Reagan, and how she was so moved by his amazing similarities to her late husband that she arranged a surprise for Walker when he went to the Library: Walker would be the first person to touch the Reagan inauguration Bible since the Gipper passed away.

I contacted the Reagan Library and the archivist in charge of the Reagan Bible said that it was Walker, not Nancy Reagan, that made the request to get his picture with the Reagan Bible and that many people have handled the bible since it came to them in 1992.

"Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"

2. Saw this Earlier. It is Walker-Out of Madison again-Telling his Big Fish stories. I am not

the only one noting that when Walker leaves town--he tells tall tales about his escapades. As I type this I am thinking of how Bill O'Lielly tells tall tales--embellishes his experiences--inserts lies to make the story better. Yup--two peas in a pod.

[Malraiders]

3. Lying about a Bible is a new low for Walker nt

[Ed Suspicious]

28. There really isn't a thing he won't lie about. I haven't known of a more pathological liar.

[Spazito]

4. Huh, it looks like we have an O'Reilly Walker...

same lies, same ugliness.

[riversedge]

30. ...

[Plucketeer]

31. That was my FIRST thought

O'Lielly could have Walker as a field correspondent. They'd mesh with ease!

5. Walker..Lying?! Nothing too low for him.. keep digging Walker.. another gopper hoisted on his

stupid petard.

8. Another Lie-->Scott Walker says he unsealed his records from college: False

Walker goes out of town and embellishes his life story (lies)....




"I unsealed my records" at Marquette University.

— Scott Walker on Friday, February 27th, 2015 in an interview
Scott Walker says he unsealed his records from college: False



http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2015/mar/12/scott-walker/where-are-scott-walkers-student-records/

......Yet on Feb. 27, 2015, while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference outside of Washington, D.C. with other potential White House contenders, Walker suggested there was nothing murky at all about his time at Marquette, a Catholic university in Milwaukee.

During an interview with Dana Loesch, a conservative radio and Blaze TV talk show host based in Dallas, Walker made a claim as Loesch prepared to ask a question.

"A lot of folks like myself thought it a little elitist -- because everybody’s vetting you now. You’ve already been more vetted than the current commander-in-chief," Loesch said.

"Yeah," Walker interjected, with a chuckle. "And more written about my college days than the president. I unsealed my records."

Really?......

9. Minimitt.. mahalo riveredge!

[riversedge]

15. chuckle I only understand my screenname. Help

[Cha]

23. You mean why did I say "Miinimitt"? 'Cause mitt romney in the last Presidential

campaign was such an inveterate Liar and now we have Walker.

Steve Benen started chronicling mitt's lies.. he had literally Volumes!

[riversedge]

29. Thanks. I did not know that term-..but now I do

Short memory at times though. But will try. Take care.

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. He's a compulsive liar!

Sort of like his bald spot having been caused by hitting his head on the kitchen cabinet. There's no reason for the lies - but he's incapable of telling the truth!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. That clown will never be pres./NT

[onyourleft]

16. From your...

...keyboard to someone's ear. I'm more worried about Walker than any other Republican.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Worry about Jeb or Rubio who offer the hope of poaching some of the Latino vote, imho/NT

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. She's a Rubio fan. i assume because he's reasonably good looking.

Walker is cross eyed and has a prominent bald spot.

[Agnosticsherbet]

12. So Walker is a liar. I think that is a requirement to be a Presidential Republican Candidate.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Every time he lies his bald spot grows./NT

[riversedge]

17. Another lie--at least partial lie-->Scott Walker says cabinet created his bald spot

I concede that he many have a scar where some hair did not grow back--- but Walker has definite male pattern balding.
BTW--lots of news articles about this one.



On the Capitol: Scott Walker says cabinet created his bald spot

.......He brought it up.

As Gov. Scott Walker was wrapping up his visit Monday with the State Journal editorial board, he joked with cartoonist Phil Hands that Hands draws his ears too big — but said the cartoonist’s portrayal of his bald spot was accurate.

The governor continued.

The bald spot, he said, was the result of a repair incident in the kitchen when he banged his head on an open kitchen cabinet door while making repairs requested by his wife, Tonette.

She kept telling him to go to the doctor to get the scar on his head looked at, he said. When he finally did, the doctor said his hair would never grow back in that spot, the governor explained.

Tonette still points to the bald spot as a reminder that he should always listen to his wife, he said....................

19. He also has a bit of an ego.

[riversedge]

22. A big ego!!--but Walker has egg on his face

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. How does he explain being cross eyed?/NT

[riversedge]

25. It does not... I only

responded to half the comment.


Being cross-eyed is a medical condition --which I do not want to--nor do I think it proper to negatively comment on. Even if treated as a child-the condition can continue into adult life.

21. Oh, he's toast

You can get away with a LOT of things as a Republican, wearing diapers and cavorting with hookers, having female interns mysteriously die in your office, having sex with your patients and pressuring them to have an abortion, but you DO NOT BLASPHEME SAINT RONNIE!

33. What a weird, pitiful, and kinda creepy lie

[malaise]

40. Walker is a weird pitiful creep

I'm shocked I tell you NOT!

[midnight]

34. I had not heard this whopper before… Good lord, though, it's a doozy...

[AllyCat]

35. He's a Teapublican. Of course he lied

37. Proof once again that they believe Reagan is their Lord and Savior....

Come ON you guys. He was a B movie actor and a shitty president and the ONLY reason republicans did revisionist history on him was because his administration was such a disaster that anyone mixed up in it would never get a gig in DC ever again.

And that would have included some of the heaviest hitters in the party.

[Scuba]

38. Of course it's a lie. After all, it was Squatty Wanker who said it.

[JI7]

39. And the vp guy who lied about marathon times

[Octafish]

41. Is Reagan the guy the Ayatollah ''handled''?

44. Walker in the bulrushes

I can just see him leading us to the Promised land of GMO manna trickling down from heaven, with no taxes or unions or plagues of liberals! Just Walker and the Kochs.
