Originally, I thought that the governor of Wisconsin, a guy named Scott Walker, and the son of a preacher man, made a gaffe while speaking to a group of Jewish folks. Evidently I was wrong. It appears the gaffe came at the end of a letter to a Wisconsin person of the Jewish persuasion.Walker wrote, in closing, "Thanks again and Molotov."
Kaboom!
It is likely he meant to write Mazel Tov.
Damn, damn, son of a preacher man, is Mr. Scott Walker.
From Crooks & Liars: About a month ago Walker gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal in which he said, "My reading of the Bible finds plenty of reminders that it's better to teach someone to fish than to give them fish if they're able ... Caring for the poor isn't the same as taking money from the federal government to lock more people into Medicaid."
Yikes!
A blogger by name of Chris Walker (not related to ol' Scott) noted that Scott got mixed up (again). He wasn't quoting the Bible - there's nothing in the Bible about teaching people to fish" He was referring to a rather well-known Chinese proverb.
And as Chris pointed out, in the New Testament, Jesus actually does give people fish. He and his disciples caught the fish and then they gave it to those who were hungry without asking anything in return!
So, Walker the despot, ignorant as he is, tries to use the Bible to justify his defiance of the Feds and his callous unwillingness to help poor people in the State of Wisconsin receive medical care which would cost the State of Wisconsin almost nothing!
Damn, damn, son of a preacher man, is Mr. Scott Walker.
