Bernadette Gillick was a college freshman in 1988 when she first met Scott Walker. It was spring semester, and she had just transferred to Marquette University. She was assigned a room in O’Donnell Hall (then a women’s dormitory), which she shared with her new roommate, Ruth (not her real name). Ruth was dating Scott Walker, who was 20 at the time, and, according to Bernadette, Ruth was deeply in love with him.
Midway through that spring semester, Bernadette alleges, Ruth found out she was pregnant. She informed her boyfriend, Scott, and initially he was supportive. That support changed to callous indifference for his girlfriend’s predicament after Scott informed his parents of the pregnancy.
Bernadette reports that at this point Scott began denying that he was the father of the baby, and when Ruth said she was considering an abortion, he claimed he didn’t care, as he wasn’t the father anyway.
Bernadette remembers being present when Ruth was dealing with the wrath of Scott’s mother, who allegedly admonished Ruth for trying to “ruin [her son’s] reputation.”
“I supported her [Ruth] as he [Scott] went from encouraging her to get an abortion, to telling me it was in my best interest to keep my mouth shut, to denying that he was the father and having his own mother call her and tell her to stop erroneously accusing her son of paternity,” Bernadette recounts.
Lady, can you just answer one question asked of you about Scott Walker?

A spate of online disinformation, bullying and outright calls for the destruction of recall petitions raise the specter of fraud in the Wisconsin recall petition drive.
Recall effort against Wis. Gov. Walker begins - CBS News
Lisa Tareski of Milwaukee, who voted for Walker, was one of eight people who won a contest sponsored by the Democratic Party to be the first to sign the petitions.
“I want to fix my mistake and be one of the first to tell Scott Walker that he did not have my full support in 2010 and he never will,” Tareski said in a statement.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s breakfast speech at the Union League Club was interrupted briefly by Occupy Chicago protesters backed by unions opposed to the GOP governor’s actions to curb collective bargaining rights for public employees.
Only minutes into his talk, about 50 protesters began chanting at Walker, including “Union busting, it’s disgusting” and “We are the 99.” The protesters left after about 10 minutes.
Here’s a brand new youtube video of the Wisconsin protest last night on Lake Geneva. The “Lady of the Lake” steamboat was disgorging Republicans after a flotilla of protesters waved “Recall Walker” signs at them during the GOP booze-cruise fundraiser. The video shows the dock crew holding up their end of the protest….
Our favorite moment: The protesters chant, “Wisconsin is not for sale,” and one of the Republicans shouts back, “Yes we are.”
Protesting Scott Walker at Centerline Machine in Waupaca Wisconsin. About 100 people showed up to tell Scott Walker they think he is doing a horrible job as Governor. Scott Walker apparently did not have to show his Drivers License like everyone else who attended was supposed to. It looks like he just walked right in, hmm. Some really good home made signs. There was a car load of four Republican Scott Walker backers with signs, but I don’t think they got out of their car.
