"For the past 18 months I've been filling out a job application," Walker said. "I've been interviewing to be the CEO of the state of Wisconsin. I said, 'Here's what I'm going to do.' I wasn't very untransparent. I basically told people what I thought I should do, whether you like it or didn't like it, here's what I'm going to do."

He was not very untransparent. In fact, he was not very unclear about how not very untransparent he was. Seriously, this guy is making Bush look like Shakespeare.

There was additional irony to Walker's quote, which was part of a talk he was giving on the education policy he plans to unveil soon. As usual, Walker's proposals for broad-reaching policies like school funding reform are restricted to platitudes about accountability, without describing how such a noble feat will be achieved.
