Remembrances of Scott Walker in college:
........ In complete fairness, the article under the (to be charitable) misleading headline contains numerous reminiscences of Walker’s time on campus which paint a very compelling, likable picture. Thus, Mary Riordan, a college friend who did graduate and is now a speech pathologist, is quoted as saying: “Kind, he’s very kind,” as she recalled four medical emergencies in which Walker took her to the hospital. In one case, she tore ligaments in her ankle: “Scott carried me eight blocks to his car and drove me to the hospital.” And there is Stephen Satran, Walker’s roommate at Marquette, who says: “I thought that the guy was too nice to ever be successful in politics. Turns out I was wrong.”
In fact, the only negative comment it seems Fahrenthold could find came from Glen Barry, who said of Walker, “We used to call him Niedermeyer,” referring to a character in the movie Animal House, a power-mad parody of a college ROTC instructor. It is worth noting that, as a student senator, Walker spearheaded an impeachment investigation into misspent student funds, and Barry was one of those investigated.
