The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reports that you don’t need higher education or a clean record to work for Scott Walker’s administration, as long as your father donates $121,652 to the campaign. Apparently Walker employed a 26 year-old with only a high school diploma and two drunk driving convictions, who just happens to be the son of a prolific campaign donor. His salary? $81,500 per year.

Said donor Jerry Deschane in response to the controversy surrounding his son:

“I put in good words for every one of my children in their jobs. But that would be the extent of it.”

I’ve heard that “good words” can actually be quite potent when wrapped in money. Oops, I mean, braaaaiiiinnnnnssssss.
