Don't need a weathervane to tell us it's raining on Emmer's parade: Walsh returns to state job

Way back on July 3, Bluestem posted Three weeks: a lifetime in Minnesota politics for Emmer spokester Bill Walsh?.

I noted that Walsh had told Politics in Minnesota on June 11 that he had no plans to leave the Minnesota Department of Education:

Bill Walsh wants people to know that reports of his imminent departure from the Minnesota Department of Education have been greatly exaggerated.

 By July 2, the Star Tribune's Hot Dish Politics reported that Walsh had indeed left his job at the Minnesota Department of Education in Emmer adds campaign veteran as communications chief.

Now the Associated Press's Brian Bakst has tweeted:

Bill Walsh says he's moving back to a volunteer role at Emmer campaign and resuming job at Department of Education as of Monday.

MPR's Tom Scheck posted similar news:

Tom Emmer's spokesman, Bill Walsh, says he's leaving the campaign and will head back to work at the MN Dep't of Education.

In less than  2 1/2 months, Walsh went from saying he wasn't planning to leave the MDE, to doing so, and now, returns to his bureaucrat job. Why does this bring to mind Emmer's spinning reversals on tips, servers' earnings, the minimum wages, gay rights, and immigration policy?

Ratbleepers leaving a sinking ship? Hell, when even Republican Scott Rasmussen has Dayton whomping Emmer by nearly double digits, and with King Rat himself Tom Mason having already bailed, who's going to be left to turn out the lights, if not produce the oppo?

I mean really, those rats aren't going to bleep themselves, you know.

By the way, I really have to restrain myself from creating a quick-and-sleazy graphic to illustrate the "ship of tools" meme you've created for Emmer's campaign. (Maybe along the lines of the vessel of the Viking Kittens as seen here: http://www.ecstewart.com/blog-p/cats/vkittens.html) I figure that we can leave the clown car parked in the Fighting First, as Mr. Demmer seems to be wanting it.

Tom Emmer needs to remember where his base is. He moved his staff appointments left to a more "moderate" group this week, and he is backing RINO candidates like Paul Gazelka, Republican Candidate for State Senate in District 12, who has Taxpayer League rating in the high 50% range and LEA rating in the high 50s and low 60s, from his term in the House in 2005-2006. Gazelka also signed the Taxpayer Pledge in 2005, and then broke it. How many other RINOs is Emmer endorsing?
