Scott Walker is Weird

Walker's fundraiser to restore mansion raises some eyebrows

On Sept. 22, the governor and first lady will hold a private reception and croquet tournament at the governor's mansion from 5 to 7 p.m. to raise money to help rehab the Maple Bluff facility.


Because, yeah, that's what people should be concerned with about now, the governor's mansion might need a little home improvement.  

Attendees can donate anywhere from $50 to $1,000 to the mansion's nonprofit foundation. Those who drop a grand get a "private reception, private tour, recognition on the invitation, signage and acknowledgment at the event, and admission and (croquet) tournament entry for two."

 Because in these economic times, nothing says "let them eat cake" like an $1000 croquet tournament.

The first lady said in her email accompanying the invitation that she hopes the event generates enough "resources to help us restore the Residence to its intended historic charm, beauty, and value."

'Cuz if it doesn't. . .  Off with all your heads!


Oh, but wait. It gets weirder.

"I am inviting fellow leading ladies like yourself to please join me in donating a purse filled with some of your favorite things. The purses will then be raffled off at the event," Tonette Walker added. "For example, I'll be donating a Tignanello bag filled with some of my can't-live-without items like my favorite shade of Bobbi Brown lipstick and an Aveda hand cream that I can't get enough of."

Because if you want to raise enough money to re-do the mansion, you can't go wrong with lipstick and hand lotion!

And donating big bucks to upgrade the governor's home totally doesn't count as bribery!

    Bribery? Heaven forfend! I thought this post was going to be about the singer. He's a bit weird too.

    Maybe it's a small thing, but I wish Tonette Walker had said there would be NEW lipstick and hand cream in the bag she's giving attendees. If they're just old crap she's already used, they would be creepy and unsanitary, like her husband's political policies.
