Remember when Wisconsin Democrats collected more than a million signatures to recall Gov. Scott Walker? Remember when beaming recall supporters dropped off 3,000 pounds (!) of petitions at the Government Accountability Board offices, virtually ensuring an unprecedented recall election later this year? Of course you do, because it all happened Tuesday.

So what has Walker been up to since that historic day? Other than issuing an official “Whatevs” statement, not much. If the guv’s delightfully benign Twitter account is to be believed, he’s been laying low, watching American Idol with his family, and issuing helpful weather reports for the morning commute.

From Wednesday:

Watched American Idol tonight w/Tonette, Matt & Alex. Its [sic] amazing that some contestants were little kids when show started.

And from Tuesday:

Be careful today. The roads are slick.

Whether or not Walker will survive the eventual recall election remains to be seen, though a possible career as a helicopter traffic reporter seems like a nice option.
