Jim, that’s all true, but the organ-harvesting and persecution of Christians and general totalitarian hideousness were all old hat back in 2013, when Scott Walker himself was visiting China to chat up Xi Jinping. What’s new is that Walker is running for president, that China has had a bad run on the stock market, and that there’s a bull market for boobishness in Republican circles.

I like Governor Walker, and I like Governor Jindal. I hope they get back to being themselves sometime soon.
