And Here I Thought He Was Kidding

Grumps shows us his creative, satirical genius by highlight Scott Walker's ineptitude at using Twitter. I would like to point the reader's attention to this line:
Feb 12, 2010 It's felt good to be speaking at the Dumptruck County Lincoln Day dinner. The 7 people who showed up were very enthusiastic.
I was laughing hard at that one, until I saw this story on WisPolitics.com:

Republican Scott Walker promised to take the state in a new direction of "limited government, economic growth and personal freedom" during one of five stops he made Tuesday to officially announce his gubernatorial campaign.
Surrounded by about 70 supporters at a farm in rural Dane County, Walker used a message of change to sell his candidacy.
Only 70 people in the entire region made it to his official kickoff? That's not overly impressive. Heck, in Wausau, which is much smaller and less densely populated, he got about 175 people, according to the Wausau Daily Herald.

Make sure you read the comments. Even they know up there what a weasel he is:
This is the same guy that wanted to refuse TARP funds for his district until voter outcry made him change his mind. Sorry, this guy is not the republican for me.
In a related story, it could very well be that Walker's twittering is the cause of the sharp decline in Tweeter users.
