Scarborough: Walker’s Victory No Gift to Dems

By    |   Tuesday, 15 March 2011 11:00 AM EDT ET

The New York Times declared Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s victory over public unions as a “gift” to Democrats. But nothing could be further from the truth, Joe Scarborough, the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” writes on Politico.

“If the Times is your only source of news, you could be forgiven for believing that Walker has single-handedly doomed the Republican Party while ensuring President Obama’s re-election next year,” says Scarborough, a former Florida Republican congressman.

“This is a curious conclusion to reach considering that Walker’s GOP has stripped public unions in his state of many collective-bargaining rights while limiting their ability to collect mandatory dues from workers. How Democrats are the beneficiaries of these draconian measures must remain a mystery to readers not employed by left-wing cable news shows or progressive bloggers.”
