One of Walker’s favorite families, The Deschane Family, is back in the news. In yesterdays complete fileting of Walker in Washington the brilliant hire of Brian Deschane was brought up. As Dan Bice reported:

During today’s testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee , U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) quizzed Walker about the hiring:

“Are you ready to apologize to the people of Wisconsin for hiring the 27-year-old son of one of your major campaign donors, who’s a lobbyist, and that individual had no college education, very little managerial experience and had two drunk-driving convictions and was hired for $81,000-a-year job when you obviously had better qualified applicants? Are you ready to apologize today to the people of Wisconsin? That doesn’t sound like good government to me.”

Walker responded by distancing himself from what happened:

“That person was five levels below me. When that hiring was brought to my attention, I had my staff go back and have that person taken out of that position, and I acknowledged the fact that there were more qualified people, and I asked someone else to be put into that.”

Who knew that his Chief of Staff and two cabinet secretaries are “five levels below him”?

Walker didn’t mention that his chief of staff, Keith Gilkes, recommended Deschane for his first job in state government or that two cabinet secretaries signed off on his hiring.

That brings up many questions that need to be answered:

* Was Scott Walker lying to Congress?
* Does he not care who runs his agencies?
* How many other unqualified kids of donors are working in our state Government?
* How many unqualified kids of donors are buried in Milwaukee county government?
* Who approved the raise?
* Does he really not know where Cali is?
* How many major donors and WMC members are pissed at him now that they won’t be able to stick their kids into a highly paid government job that they are not qualified for?
* Between the Deschane Hiring and taking the fake phone call, is Keith Gilkes the least qualified person in the Walker Administration?(my vote is still Mike Huebsch).
* Does anyone really believe that Scott Walker is not in way over his head?
