For some reason, the matter of Scott Walker's school days is now of paramount importance to our media betters. Both the Washington Post and the Boston Globe have seen fit in recent days to travel to Marquette University to learn the deep dark secrets of Walker's undergraduate days, while Politico is aghast that Walker dared to go to his college reunion, since it is apparently strictly forbidden for anyone to enter such an event without showing a diploma at the door. This, by the way, would be news to anyone at any college or university, since people who didn't finish at the school are universally welcomed back to campus, especially if they have a habit of writing checks of sufficient size.
I'm heartened that we seem to have our probing media back now, given the relative lack of curiosity surrounding the undergraduate years of other politicians you may know, including the fella who currently sits in the White House. Do you recall the Post or the Globe inquiring about Obama's days at Occidental College, or Columbia, for that matter? Do you recall anyone looking at that? Better late than never, I guess.

They'll be checking for transcripts, DUIs, whether he ever made fun of a minority, and if there are any photos of him "man-spreading".
Just this morning an MSNBC panel was chatting about rumors of "skullduggery" regarding Walker's student council election. Seriously!!!!
It's like "Mitt Romney cut a classmate's hair" all over again.

you predicted this a few years back.
damn, D... you got skills.
Skills nothing. The little letter after their name tells you what the coverage is going to be 90% of the time. 5% is for plausible deniability. 4% is for mitigating circumstances. 1% is because they screw up and tell the truth by mistake.
