While Gaddafi went on Libya State TV (why not? He owns it) to channel the ghosts of Baghdad Bob and Tom Emmer, ol' "Baseball Bat" Walker chose to go on ~~Faux Noise~~ Fox News (why not? The GOP owns it) to peddle similar camel dung: Sean insHanitty Interviews Walker: Walker Claims Credit for 10,000 New Jobs And Lower Unemployment

Hey - "Baseball Bat" Walker's makin' that claim all over! Like, just last week - in Hudson, WI:

MnPP: Walker Claims Credit for 10,000 New Jobs And Lower Unemployment

Speakin' o' other claims Ol' Baseball Bat is makin' that aren't true:

Politifact.com: "Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says out-of-staters account for "almost all" in Madison protests" - FALSE.

Hey - who the (cheney) does Ol' Baseball Bat think he is - former Gov. "TBag" Pawlenty??!?

TBag's court cases don't turn out so swell - for Timmy. Ol' Baseball Bat's only been in office ~~for FAR too long~~ since January, and already this:

WSJ: Judge Blocks Union Law

The first installment of this Strongman Report series was subtitled ...Today's Example of "Republicans run on the platform 'Government doesn't work!' - and once elected, they prove it.". Graphics and links for previous installments in this series are below the fold.

Today's Strongman Report - 20 March 2011 | 3 comments

I wouldn't compare Gadaffi to Baghdad Bob (0.00 / 0)

Unlike Baghdad Bob, so far, Gadaffi has made good on what he said. He, actually his more public son, said there would be a civil war if the protests didn't stop, and they made good on that. Each city they've said they would take, they have. Gadaffi rallied his supporters and told them they would win, and without international intervention, it looks like he would have. When he said there would be no mercy, I took him at his word. We keep hearing Gadaffi is nuts, but I can't help noticing he survived 42 years in power, and has often known when to shut up and pull back, and his threats have usually been good. I suggest he isn't so much nuts as vicious and eccentric. He has so far been right about his situation. His regime isn't the same as Iraq's, which did seem unrealistic about what was about to happen.

In the matter (0.00 / 0)

of "strongmen" in governors' offices, have you considered taking a look at Michigan's Rick Snyder? The man is out of control, trying to assume dictatorial powers. This is just one example, that popped up right away on google:

recall (0.00 / 0)

Snyder is up for recall after six months, and the petition time is longer than Wisconsin. Snyder will be the first to go.
