Goodness gracious, Republicans are the essence of mendacity. If you thought the fake "I was attacked by an Obama supporter" incident back in 2008 wasn't embarrassing enough, you will love this.
Back in February, some nitwit named Carlos Lam — who, by the way, was not a nobody but, astoundingly, a deputy prosecutor in Johnson County, Indiana — e-mailed the certain-to-be-recalled Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, with some curious advice.
“If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions’ cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions,” he wrote. "God bless, Carlos F. Lam."
What's interesting to us cats is not only that this fool deemed a "false flag" operation appropriate — it's that the e-mail was written within days of Walker's phone conversation with the prankster posing as right-wing billionaire David Koch. In that talk, "Koch" asked Walker about "planting some troublemakers" among Wisconsin union protesters. "You know... we thought about that," Walker says. Gee, ya think?
Meanwhile, after initially denying he sent the e-mail, Lam has perhaps envisioned a life lived on his last name and has confessed and resigned his job. Of course, he's only the second Indiana prosecutor to disgrace himself with such foolishness: Remember Jeffrey Cox and his "live ammunition"?
Ugh. We cats aren't crazy about baths, but we're thinking of taking one.
