Hero Has No Hero Worship For Walker

Does anyone respectable stand with Scott Walker since his assault on the working people of Wisconsin?

Definitely no heroes do, and not Jeff Skiles:
Jeff Skiles, the co-pilot in the famous "Miracle on the Hudson";landing in January 2009, has been involved in the budget protests that engulfed Madison in recent weeks. 
On Tuesday, he took another big step, choosing to withdraw what he said was hundreds of thousands of  dollars of his own money from M&I Bank to protest the actions of bank executives there who backed Gov. Scott Walker. 
Skiles said Wednesday that he put the money in other financial institutions, and did not technically close his M&I accounts. 
"They have supported Gov. Walker and I wanted to send a message to them," Skiles said.
It's one thing to stand up for principles.  It's wholly another to be so adamant that one won't listen to the people any more (not that he ever did).
