Scott Walker, Republican Governor of Wisconsin.

You already know he’s a jerk.

This is the guy who was caught trying to hide his emails after sneaking language into the state budget that drastically changed the purpose of the State University. He was the one who gutted the public schools after waging war against the teachers’ unions.

His Presidential campaign was a complete bust, leaving him millions of dollars in debt.

Now the cranky conservative has taken to Twitter, playing the role of Scrooge for poor families in his state. Get this:

Now why would the Governor send out a tweet like this?

Gee, could it be because his state is now facing a $693 shortfall in its own biennial budget? And that this shortfall was partly caused by the governor’s poor accounting methods and misuse of state funds for personal expenses?

A crook and a jerk.

The reaction to the tweet from Walker’s constituents was predictable and brilliant.

Some were pointed but polite, like this one:

Others were more poignant and more powerful. This one brings up the question of children living in poverty.

But there were a bunch that were plain hilarious. Like these:

So Happy Thanksgiving, Governor Scrooge. Looks like your people aren’t feeling so happy about you, are they?

Bah, Humbug.

Looks like you’ll be tossed the hell out come reelection time.
