Next they'll make Walker hug a dog to investigate his claim that he has a dog allergy.

: )

April first was two days ago.

[JennysCool]

Really? REALLY? They’re making an issue out of getting a great deal on a SWEATER?

[dware]

Boy, would be nice if they investigated the current administration so well

[BerniesFriend]

Yeah, but the sweater does not wish to attend a gay marriage ceremony so the hate left is now after it!

[LadyBuck]

He better not try to use Coupins :-)

[Morpheus2009]

So freakin’ what? Is Walker buying million dollar shoes? At least he isn’t, in this particular instance, spending money like the Obamas do!

When Sara Palin tried to get center stage in clothes from Walmart she was laughed to scorn.

Anybody who knows how Kohl's works would know that you can definitely get an ugly sweater for a dollar. 90% discount rack, 30% coupon, and some Kohl's cash. You could probably score a suit if you put in the effort.

Yet, they're not interested in why Obama and Holder really wanted to arm the Mexican drug cartels.

there was a Rainbow Colored sweater AVAILABLE....but he snubbed it

In a joint investigation with the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, researchers visited a Kohl's store in Glendale,

LOL

If these reporters would have only investigated Obama’s college transcripts as well as they investigate Walker’s shopping habits, I might believe they are fair and balanced....

[dfwgator]

“This is effin’ awesome.”

[Steve_Seattle]

Is this satire? The Wisconsin Journal Sentinel undertook a "joint operation" to check out Walker's claim about the cost of a SWEATER? PolitiFact is checking out Walker's claim?

If true, this is madness. It will be a brutal election campaign.

That’s nothing. I once got a shirt at REI marked down from $80 to $.03.

"April first was two days ago."

The story is dated today. I read the whole thing and there is no indication that it's satire other than the utter absurdity of the idea of investigating Walker's claim about the price of a cheap sweater. What has "journalism" come to?

[dila813]

If only they had vetted Obama 1/10th of the way Walker has been vetted so far.

[Steely Tom]

Interesting. There ought to be a word for the situation in which reality becomes satire.

"That’s nothing. I once got a shirt at REI marked down from $80 to $.03."

REI has gone from a blue-collar outdoor supply company to a frou-frou, latte-sipping, overpriced hangout for limousine liberals.
