Scott Walker Boots Joshua Inglett, Student Who Signed Recall Petition, From Regent Appointment

[okaawhatever]

Days after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) appointed the student who would sit on the state Board of Regents, the administration announced that it would keep looking.

Thursday morning, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, an aide of the governor called Joshua Inglett, a University of Wisconsin-Platteville rising junior, to tell him he was not getting the position after it came to light the student signed a petition to force Walker's 2012 recall election

"They had four months to look this up and Google-search me," Inglett told the Journal Sentinel. "I looked it up online yesterday. It took me 15 seconds."

Inglett told the Journal Sentinel he discussed the petition with one of Walker's aides over the phone, and acknowledged he did sign it two years earlier. The following morning, he was told the governor would withdraw Inglett's nomination.

But Walker, who named Inglett on Monday, won't say the withdrawal was related to the petition.

How many evil things can one Governor do?

[MrModerate]

1. Let's see . . . that makes Walker inept . . .

Cowardly, petty, vindictive, and hyperpartisan.

Yep, that about covers it.

Although I'm sure I've left some things out.

2. the kid should sue for retaliation,I bet he would win...

Walker is a real piece of work.

[Itchinjim]

3. What a petty, thin skinned asshole Walker is.

[Omaha Steve]

4. The price of FREE SPEECH

Walker should pull his head out.

5. Jebus, what a baby. Childish POS.

Can't stand any possible dissent, past or present. I can't image the antics when he becomes a lame duck - scorched earth will be an understatment.

[Botany]

6. Scott Walker is an A-hole.

I still don't buy that the recall vote was fair.

[kimbutgar]

7. So walker has an enemies list like Nixon

Can you just see when he gets re-elected he will use the recall lists to go after more people. As he and the koch's take over Wisconsin they will target people who signed the recall petitions. It is chilling to think this will be wisconsin's future or maybe America's future if the koch's buy his way into the white house. Scary chilling and downright evil is what I see in walker.

8. I don't have a problem with this.

If the shoe were on the other foot and the Gov. of California had appointed a student to a non-partisan
board or committee and then found that student had signed some teabagger petition......
I would EXPECT that governor to withdraw that appointment.

This is how the game of politics is played.

9. wow, that's so sad.

Non-partisan is just that. Stacking the board with your cronies ceases to make it non-partisan, regardless of what side you are on.

If the kid is qualified for the post, then his politics are his own and shouldn't be a factor. He got nominated, after all.

[1KansasDem]

10. I don't know if "non-partisan" even exists any more.

[City Lights]

11. Scut Wanker is stuck in pre-school.

I wonder if he still sucks his thumb.

[Brigid]

12. Do they at least have term limits in WI?

[okaawhatever]

13. No sorry. But certainly he won't survive another election. nt
