From the transcript of the fake Koch-Walker conversation:
KOCH: Now, you’re not talking to any of them Democrat bastards are you?
WALKER: There’s one guy that’s actually voted with me on a bunch of things that I called on Saturday for about 45 minutes mainly to tell him that while I appreciate his friendship, and his work with us on other things and tell him well, I wasn’t going to budge. Mainly, because he’s about the only reasonable one over there,
KOCH: Goddamn right.
WALKER: I figured if I go talk to him, he’ll go back to the rest of the gang and say you know I’ve known Walker for 20 years and he’s not budging.
KOCH: Now what’s his name again?
WALKER: His name is Tim Cullen.
KOCH: All right.
WALKER: He’s …
KOCH: I’ll give that man a call.
WALKER: Actually in his case, I wouldn’t call him, and I’ll tell you why. He’s pretty reasonable, but he’s not one of us. So, I would let him be. I think he’s in a position where maybe he can motivate that caucus but he’s not an ally, he’s just a guy, he was in the senate years ago, he was actually the Senate democrat leader back in the 80s and Tommy Thompson hired him to be the head of health and human services, he went into the private sector, made real money, and then became a little more open minded, and last fall he got elected into the senate seat he was in 25 years ago. And he’s kind of one of these guys, he really doesn’t care, he’s not there for political reasons, he’s just trying to get something done. So he’s good to reach out to for me, but he’s not a conservative, he’s just a pragmatist.
