Yeah! OH YEAHHH!!!! It's over. It's ALL OVER for Scott Walker!!! Watch our Rolling Stone victory dance in the end zone as we spike the football and proclaim an end to Walker's political career. Why? Because of the SLAM DUNK of the century which Scott Walker cannot survive!

So what happened? Did Walker perform a gross breach of ethics as bad as the publication of "A Rape on Campus?" Nope. Even worse. AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka wrote the six word slam dunk that will definitely ruin Scott Walker forever and ever and ever. When you read the "slam dunk" on Walker you will probably rub your eyes in disbelief that what you just read led to all this jubilation at the Rolling Stone but first let us savor some of the juvenile flavor provided by the writer, Simon Vozick-Levinson, who comes off with all the gravity of a giggling schoolboy scribbling riffs at a junior high school cafeteria lunch table:

Walker has kicked Trumka’s ass left and right. I am sure these six words just undid all that.

Writing on behalf of the union federation’s 12 million-plus members, Trumka declared:

“Scott Walker is a national disgrace.”

Hey that describes Rolling Stone's readers. Why wouldn't he write to that level.

Rolling Stone chided for making fun of Scott Walker. I guess we won’t be expecting any covers of him displaying his cratch — a la Al Gore.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Her is a quote from the jubilant article:

...he bizarrely compared peaceful pro-worker activists in his home state to ISIS terrorists."

"PEACEFUL" Pro-worker activists?!?! THEY WERE THREATENING HIS LIFE!!!

When you are getting flak you are over the target.

Walker should send RR a thank you card for extending Walker’s name recognition factor.
