Today's anti-union busting amateurism of the day (it's been a good day)

WI governor Scott Mubarak was punked by a call from a prankster pretending to be David Koch. Hilarity ensued. Video and transcripts are kindly provided. Funny thing is, Democrats have been complaining that governor Mubarak is not returning their calls. But when big daddy Koch calls ...

Perhaps even more amusing than the prank on the governor is the idiocy of his chief of staff:
Murphy simply called Walker's office, saying he was Koch, and was ultimately connected with Walker's chief of staff, Keith Gilkes. "The most ridiciulous thing to me is when I get on line with the chief of staff and he wanted to take my number down, and I said I couldn't give it to him because my maid Maria had thrown my phone into the washing machine," Murphy says. 
As he tells it in the Beast story: 
I politely said hello, not knowing how friendly Gilkes and Koch may be. He was eager to help. “I was really hoping to talk directly to Scott,” I said. He said that could be arranged and that I should just leave my number. I explained to Gilkes, “My goddamn maid, Maria, put my phone in the washer. I’d have her deported, but she works for next to nothing.” Gilkes found this amusing. “I’m calling from the VOID—with the VOID, or whatever it’s called. You know, the Snype!”
Bonus FAIL: Indiana Deputy Attorney General Jeff Kadhafi has been fired for tweeting that 'live ammunition' should be used against pro-union protesters.
