Caution, @GovWalker, Roads Are Slippery When Anti-Worker

by Kate Childs Graham  |  January 19, 2012

Early Tuesday morning, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin tweeted, “Be careful today. The roads are slick.” Indeed, Tuesday proved that when you stand against the rights of workers, you are on a slippery slope.

A few minutes after the news was confirmed that more than 1 million Wisconsin voters signed petitions to have the governor recalled, “Scott Walker” was trending on Twitter.

Natives of the Badger State celebrated:

@vahamaa: Dear Scott Walker, welcome to Recallville.

@DefeatVos: 1,000,000+ Wisconsin voters say: "I love teachers, firefighters, police..." (but NOT Scott Walker) #wiunion

@mcwheelz: Scott Walker, we have your pink slip ready for you.

@Spudlovr: Gov. Scott Walker lives in public housing. Landlords' about to evict him #wiunion

@BrewCityBrawler: Strange how Friends of Scott Walker ads dont call out his awesome job creation record. Oh, wait ... #wiunion #recallwalker

Politicians and journalists weighed in:

@AndrewKroll: The 1mln #recallwalker signatures gathered by organizers adds up to 46 percent of #wisconsin's total electorate

@BrianFair: Let's remove Gov. Scott Walker from office. Then let's convince the singer Scott Walker to tour again & obliterate the memory of Gov. Scott.

@donnabrazile: Recall fever 2.0! RT @HuffPostPol Organizers collect 1 million signatures in favor of recalling WI Gov. Scott Walker

@mcmullenforus: Scott Walker is being recalled, let's hope this happens to Rick Scott in Florida.

And even Arsenio Hall had a character or two for the governor:

@ArsenioOFFICIAL: In addition to the states troubles, i also blame Wisconsin governor Scott Walker for the Green Bay Packer loss. #recall

Meanwhile, @GovWalker has soothed himself with some “American Idol.”
