Schultz Show Compares Scott Walker on Harley to Dukakis in Tank
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Apples and oranges: or shall we say, Harleys and Abrams.

On this evening's Ed Show on MSNBC, guest John Nichols of the far-left Nation mag and guest host Michael Eric Dyson lamely tried to analogize Scott Walker riding a Harley to the infamous episode of Michael Dukakis in a tank. The difference? Walker is a for-real biker and Harley owner. Dukakis did serve two years in the Army, but there's no evidence he did tanks before his ill-fated ride during the 1988 campaign. Check the photos at the foot to see the difference. You'll note that the hopelessly buttoned-down Dukakis is actually, yes, wearing a button-down shirt and tie.

Apart from seeing they both are wearing helmets, I fail to see the similarity.

Dukakis looked like simple Snoopy.

Exactly. Seems the left is expecting Walker to win the nomination and they are getting desperate.

The other difference is that Dukaka never owned a tank. Walker does own a motorcycle

Walker started riding in 2002 to relax from his job as Milwaukee County Executive. I’d say riding 10 plus years constitutes an authentic Harley fan.

-—I’d say riding 10 plus years constitutes an authentic Harley fan.

Especially when Harley-Davidson’s corporate headquarters are in your county.

The Schultz show should compare ITSELF to the sound of a toilet flushing.
