I did not engage in schadenfreude yesterday over the one-year anniversary of Gov. Scott Walker’s winning the (illegitimate) recall election.

Others did. For instance, David Blaska:

I’m trying to decide whom I miss most: Pink Slip Guy, Crying Man (“Democracy ended tonight.”), Segway Boy, Ms. Hippie Bongstocking, Michael Moore, Jesse and the Teamsters, the Assembly Democrats in their shocking orange T-shirts, the drum circle ashram in the rotunda, or the Flee-baggers. I’ve decided it’s Comrade John Nichols and Mr. Ed on the MSNBC set election night on Monona Terrace. They looked like they’d just swallowed a package of Ex-Lax when the network called the recall for Scott Walker less than an hour after polls closed. A cherished memory. It’s no small irony that state Democrats are meeting for annual convention this Friday and Saturday, still nursing their recall hangover — minus Graeme Zielinski, poster boy for Tourette Syndrome, the Baghdad Bob of babble.

Right Wisconsin passed on this ridiculous montage from MSNBC one year and one day ago:

Christian Schneider recounted some of the stranger things you may have forgotten about, including …

Walker, a preacher’s son, has always given off a wholesome vibe – which is why his opponents were always willing to jump on any rumor that made him appear to be a hypocrite.  (See: the last minute smear some Democrats tried to push leading up to the recall election.)

That is why, incredibly, it became news that Walker’s spokeswoman, Ciara Matthews, had once worked at a Hooters restaurant in college.  This revelation led to unseemly comments about Matthews’ “unnatural sexiness,” and led one local blogger to deem it “Hootergate.”  Some claimed that working at Hooters is somehow incompatible with being pro-life.

How did Matthews reply?

“What is the connection between my being pro-life and working at Hooters?” she retorted. “Is there a hypocritical angle here that I’m not aware of? Is Hooters performing abortions?”
