    Ian Murphy’s Response to MoJo this morning regarding his call…..

    There are were plenty of unanswered questions, so we sought out Murphy online late Tuesday night, asking if he was still awake. “Sort of,” he tweeted us. “What do you want to know?” We emailed him a list of questions, and he responded early this morning:

    Mother Jones: Okay, why should we believe you?

    Ian Murphy: Why wouldn’t you? I’d send you the recordings, but they’re already online. I guess you’d have to consult an audio engineer or mp4 expert or whatever the forensic audio analysis autopsy seance kind of person. It sounds like him to me. Maybe they punked me! Maybe it was Koch who actually answered the phone. Maybe I am living a double life in my sleep as Scott Walker! It’s for real. I would have made the dialogue better and the audio worse. What, I am DARPA or some shit over here?

    MJ: What number did you call to get through to Walker?

    IM: I called the number on their website: http://walker.wi.gov/section.asp?linkid=1714&locid=177 I kept calling that same number, getting a busy signal, waiting through 20 rings. That Koch would suffer such indignities made it extra ridiculous.

    MJ: Did you really think you’d get through?

    IM: I couldn’t believe it was that easy. Or why they wouldn’t check around or something in between my calls. Or be competent. Or just not completely stupid. I blame it on the cheeseheads.

    MJ: Did you ever freak out, almost lose your cool, etc.?

    IM: Each time I called i presumed they be like, “Sir, we know you’re not Mr. Koch. Please fuck the fuck off.” Once Walker got on, I was more shocked than freaked. Now I’m freaked again.

    Mother Jones seems to have verified this….

    (UPDATE, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 10:30 a.m.: The Beast’s site has crashed, presumably because of the traffic this story is generating. Huffington Post reporter Sam Stein just tweeted that he has spoken to the site’s publisher, who says the call is “absolutely legit,” and was made via Skype. So they’re standing by their story, at least.)

    I have been impressed as well. FDL was once banned from that old playground of ours. I have noticed it is allowed again. Typical, no?

    Silly, gatekeepers! They will never shut us up!

    keep the diaries coming!

    Well Hello WT! It is wonderful to find you here and to continue to read one of my favorite writers on the web!

    This article is so perfect and provides me some hope. Which I thought was just about impossible anymore.

    peace,
