Ted-NugentWell, that’s truly reassuring:

“I worked close with Scott Walker’s team in Wisconsin when he took it away from the hippies and got rid of the debt and got some freedom back in Wisconsin,” Nugent said.

Pretty impressive.

But Walker staffers said this week that Nugent’s statement simply isn’t true.

The Motor City Madman doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

“The governor met Ted Nugent during an NRA convention in Milwaukee years ago when he was Milwaukee county executive,” said Tom Evenson, spokesman for Walker’s state office. “Other than that, our office has not had involvement with him.”

The NRA held its national convention here in 2006, and Nugent — best known for such hits at “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Dog Eat Dog” — performed the national anthem on his guitar, as Walker recalled in this interview.
