Schultz Show Compares Scott Walker on Harley to Dukakis in Tank

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.

[Fai Mao]

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

[smokingfrog]

Yep. Same thing. :o

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.

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

Nice try

Fail

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

If that’s not real that’s some damn good photoshop.

Oh that’s a real Kerry photo alright.
