Scott Walker Billboard Brags About Job Creation To Empty Factory Yard

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson

Money well spent, this ad placement.

Some unintentional American Heroes of comedy placed one of a series of billboards touting the jerb creation skillz of Wisconsin’s Kochgobbler governor Scott Walker directly in front of a shuttered GM factory that sent 10,000 people to the unemployment line. It’s such an apt visual, seeing his fat head up there surveying the landscape of other peoples’ misery with a weaselly, self-satisfied grin. And how is the whole job creation process going in Wisconsin these days? “In every month since June, the state has lost jobs both overall and in the private sector,” according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Has everyone in Wisconsin remembered to sign the recall Walker petition yet? They’re due next week!

The billboard has already come down, boo, after the pro-Walker group that sponsored it heard that the Internet was making fun.

Oh well, it could not really get much worse for Scott Walker anyway, who is so hated in Wisconsin that he’s been forced to exile himself from his own state to go beg evil factions in the rest of the country to give him money to support his villainy.

From the AP:

State law allows those targeted for a recall to ignore normal campaign donation limits until the recall election is set. Walker reported raising more than $5 million as of mid-December, with roughly half coming from outside Wisconsin, and has been traveling the country seeking donations. He was in Texas on Thursday speaking at a conservative legislative forum.

Ha ha, shouldn’t Texas have to keep Scott Walker, if they are buying him?

Recall organizers will be submitting hundreds of thousands of signatures on the petition deadline next Tuesday, let the fun begin! [Wisconsin Radio Network/ AP]

Walker's preaching to his own choir.

Terry January 13, 2012 at 12:56 pm

He's carrying water for the Koch brothers and their pals.

SorosBot January 13, 2012 at 12:37 pm

OK now unlike the troll's comment on Colbert below Walker is someone who really does deserve to have marines piss on him.

Terry January 13, 2012 at 12:57 pm

UAW members, too. Teachers, State workers, they should get their turn, as well.

C_R_Eature January 13, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Is there a line forming? Do we need to take numbers?

bureaucrap January 13, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Is he still trying to raise money? Cuz I would pay to see that (somebody tell his campaign manager).

Scott Walker going around the country begging for money to keep his jerb — it's another strong Rethuglican strategy to solve America's unemployment problem!

Why, it's something Americans all over the country are doing! …except for the "keeping your jerb" part.

Steverino247 January 13, 2012 at 12:37 pm

Don't let the rusted gate hit you in the ass on the way out, Walker!

neiltheblaze January 13, 2012 at 12:37 pm

They've taken it down, but thanks to the Intertoobz, it lives forever!

SnarkoMarx January 13, 2012 at 12:38 pm

That picture would be complete if Michael Moore were standing in the parking lot flipping the bird to the billboard.

iburl January 13, 2012 at 12:38 pm

Governor Goblin Koch, pack your bags.

Maman January 13, 2012 at 12:38 pm

That's ok that the sign isn't there anymore. Photos like the memory of Walker's dastardly deeds will live forever

OC_Surf_Serf January 13, 2012 at 12:38 pm

Irony is not just a river in Egypt, my friends.

Chillwillard January 13, 2012 at 12:39 pm

That's not a Walker billboard. It's for Newt's new film, "When Mitt Romney Came to Town."

SexySmurf January 13, 2012 at 12:39 pm

In Walker's defense, it takes two people to put up a billboard, therefore he technically created "jobs".

FlownOver January 13, 2012 at 12:47 pm

Billboards are people, my friend.

MissTaken January 13, 2012 at 12:39 pm

Well billboards don't just put themselves up and then take themselves down, now do they?

Job Creation!!1!1

Lionel[redacted]Esq January 13, 2012 at 12:55 pm

Think about all the jobs created after he is recalled and has to take down all his campaign signs!

SorosBot January 13, 2012 at 12:56 pm

By being such a douche that he's inspired recall petitions against the eligible Republicans in the state legislature and now himself, Walker's created jobs in the campaign industry too!

Chillwillard January 13, 2012 at 1:05 pm

Those are South Carolina-type jobs (volunteering).

nounverb911 January 13, 2012 at 12:39 pm

Is being recalled a qualification for unemployment insurance?

Gratuitous World January 13, 2012 at 12:40 pm

Wow, fleeing the jurisdiction for political purposes. Wisconsin's GOP is going to go absolutely apeshit, right?

veritass January 13, 2012 at 12:41 pm

To be fair, he did create a job for installing and removing job-creation billboard ads. So there's that.

paris biltong January 13, 2012 at 12:41 pm

What's the matter? People not using toilet paper any more? How disgusting.

KeepFnThatChicken January 13, 2012 at 12:42 pm

When will he be called to the carpet for spending taxpayer dollars on private frivolities like "communication"? You teabaggers are all selective pussies.

Come here a minute January 13, 2012 at 12:43 pm

Governor Walker will keep some movers employed when they have to haul his shit out of the governor's mansion to make way for the new governor.

EatsBabyDingos January 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Hey Scotty, move to Tex-ass and get yourself a TV show. Call it "Walker, Texas Douchenozzle."

MosesInvests January 13, 2012 at 1:27 pm

DO. NOT. WANT.

OC_Surf_Serf January 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Billboards are people too, my friends.

FlownOver January 13, 2012 at 12:48 pm

Jinx!

ThundercatHo January 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm

According to this show I've been watching one must shoot a walker in the head in order to put it down so I'm not sure if all these signed petitions will be enough.

MissTaken January 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm

That billboard was just crying out for a Hitler-stache to be drawn on it.

OH! That's what the barbed wire was to prevent.

e_z January 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Walker, TexasChanger, next on CBS

ManchuCandidate January 13, 2012 at 12:46 pm

My billboard drives all the jobs from the place,
And I'm like,
I got mine, Fuck you,
Damn right I got mine, Fuck you.
I can tell you (Tejas)
But I have to charge

hagajim January 13, 2012 at 12:46 pm

So Scotty has been travling all over the country Kochsucking for $$$$? Big fucking surprise. I hope you Wisconsinites send this douchenozzle to the dustbin of loser history where he can join the Tundra Twat in leaving our collective consciousness – forever!

PsycWench January 13, 2012 at 12:46 pm

Was it taken down before anyone had the chance to draw devil horns and a goatee on him? I hope not.

C_R_Eature January 13, 2012 at 1:15 pm

Well, there's always Photoshop…

Beowoof January 13, 2012 at 12:46 pm

Ah like Mitt Romney he is a job creamator. With proper attribution to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

Chillwillard January 13, 2012 at 12:48 pm

"Ha ha, shouldn’t Texas have to keep Scott Walker, if they are buying him?"

Fuck no. Isn't it enough that we have to put up with Dick Ferry?

Eve8Apples January 13, 2012 at 12:54 pm

I'm waiting for the day Walker joins those 10 thousand unemployed GM workers at the unemployment office.

The unemployed GM workers will have many kind words for union busting Walker.

elviouslyqueer January 13, 2012 at 12:55 pm

The billboard has already come down, boo, after the pro-Walker group that sponsored it heard that the Internet was making fun.

In related news, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

OT: I knew it!!
Nehru Jackets are BACK BABEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walker libel. Clearly that is not Wisconsin, as there are no palm trees.

x111e7thst January 13, 2012 at 12:57 pm

Whenever I think of Walker I experience the most remarkable combination of stultifying boredom and wracking nausea.

MissTaken January 13, 2012 at 1:02 pm

Koch-sucking is a job!

widestanceshakedown January 13, 2012 at 1:09 pm

Billboards are jobs, my friend.

meatlofer January 13, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Walker is ok, Haley Barbour,pardoned him.

Groupshrug January 13, 2012 at 1:14 pm

In Scott Walker's defense, the billboard says he is "creating" jobs, as in future tense. That means he is working on it.

It doesn't says Governor Scott Walker CREATED jobs for Wisconsin.

horsedreamer_1 January 13, 2012 at 8:08 pm

It's a gerund, but not necessarily future tense. "Will be creating" is future. Creating implies an active effort to make.

Then again, Scooter is on the take make, so PolitiFact Wisconsin rates this billboard's claim TRUER WORDS NEVER SPOKEN.

C_R_Eature January 13, 2012 at 1:16 pm

Billboards go up, billboards come down. You can't explain it.

CapnFatback January 13, 2012 at 1:17 pm

The real irony? "GM" stands for "Grand Marquees."

horsedreamer_1 January 13, 2012 at 8:09 pm

I thought it was Grand Macaque. Did George Allen lie to me?

fuflans January 13, 2012 at 1:19 pm

in mitt's defense, if scott were employed in the private sector it would be a lot easier to fire him.

mavenmaven January 13, 2012 at 1:26 pm

He's creating jobs, those Bain types profiting off all these closures need valets, shoe shine boys, strip clubs to throw money around in, etc…

Callyson January 13, 2012 at 1:29 pm

But Scotty did create jobs, according to Urban Dictionary's definition:
snowjob
The process in which a line of coke is placed on an erected penis, a woman snorts it and then proceeds to give it a blowjob.
Well, it IS Wisconsin after all…

freakishlywrong January 13, 2012 at 1:38 pm

More rightwing social engineering.

Slim_Pickins January 13, 2012 at 1:40 pm

As a non-resident, part time resident of WI, I can tell that Scott makes the Birthers look sane in comparison.

Nostrildamus January 13, 2012 at 1:44 pm

My guess is a number of the former factory workers are making ends meet by doing "jobs" in the alleyways surrounding the plant.

poncho_pilot January 13, 2012 at 2:32 pm

lot lizards servicing the lizard people?

bikerlaureate January 13, 2012 at 1:55 pm

Needs moar Photoshops of Walker-themed billboards above cemeteries, bankruptcy lawyers' offices, plasma donation centers, etc.

poncho_pilot January 13, 2012 at 2:31 pm

for any other slackers in Wisconsin, like me, today's the last day. get thee to a recall office.

Designer_Rants January 13, 2012 at 2:40 pm

I bet Union Thug teachers had something to do with this scandalous billboard placement.

Tundra Grifter January 13, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Mitt Romney would say "10,000 down; 90,000 to go…"

Douché January 13, 2012 at 3:39 pm

Wisconsin should try a new tact, raise money and pay him to resign, and go run for governor of Texas.

MinAgain January 13, 2012 at 5:11 pm

I'll bet those were union billboard installers.

ttommyunger January 13, 2012 at 5:34 pm

Well, if its on a Bill Board, I guess it has to be true, right? I mean, shit, we are talking about Wisconsinites here. They wrote a book about them called "Gullible's Travels".

BZ1 January 13, 2012 at 6:37 pm

Here's your New Year's resolution, sign the recall Walker petition!

WinterOuthouse January 13, 2012 at 11:51 pm

What a shit bag. The sooner he's gone the better.
