Brett Hulsey at Scott Walker Press Conference (Video)

Since when did it become appropriate for the end of a governor's press conference to become akin to an open mic night at a comedy club?

Brett Hulsey, a Wisconsin Assembly Democrat from Madison, lunged at the microphone and hijacked the media event after Governor Scott Walker had left the room.

More, from WLUK:
A couple of hours ago, Republican Governor Scott Walker re-stated his message about the budget changes he wants to make.

“If we're not able to pass the bill by the end of the week, for us that ultimately means at risk notices will have to go out and ultimately that would affect 1,500 individuals,” said Walker.

Following his remarks, Walker took a few reporter questions and left. That's been the governor's daily routine.

However, what happened next was different. A first term Democratic Assembly member, Brett Hulsey from Madison, took the podium.

During Hulsey’s remarks, he called the governor a dictator, not a leader and said this budget bill is about union busting, not about balancing the budget.

“The budget despair bill that we have right now, according to our non-partisan fiscal bureau does not have to happen. We do not have a budget emergency in this state except the one that he is creating by creating union busting,” said Hulsey.

During Hulsey's comments the governor's staff left the door to the conference room open, which ironically allowed Democratic supporters to drown out his voice.

Can you imagine if Obama was making a statement from the Rose Garden and taking a few questions from the press, and then a freshman Republican congressman commandeered the microphone and called Obama a dictator and declared Obama was speaking nonsense?

It's unfathomable.

Hulsey actually claimed that Wisconsin doesn't have a "budget emergency in the state except the one that [Walker] is creating." That's a lie.

Hulsey said, "[Walker] is acting like a dictator, not a leader."

Civility? New tone? What? Huh?

Disgraceful.

He said, "The guy's a megalomaniac." He spoke of his "tyrannical rule."

Watch Hulsey, in his probably very ripe prison orange t-shirt.




Hulsey's gibberish is an embarrassment.

Before Hulsey actually took questions, he informed the press, "I'm sorry I have not had a shower. I've been on the floor for about a day and a half."

We're all sorry about that. Yuck!

I worry about the Dems' mental health and their physical conditions.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

The Dems are really dirty, literally.

Hulsey, please take a shower.
