Media help Walker clean up $500,000 scandal; Now he's a hero

It can only be described as a scandal -- Wisconsin Republicans earmarking a $500,000 grant for a group that wasn't qualified to get it, then Gov. Scott Walker being forced to cancel it after it came to light.

Since then we've learned that the GOP was hell-bent to pass the sweetheart deal despite warnings it could have cost the state millions in federal money.

 Now, after some Republican spinmeisters have done their work, some media outlets are portraying Walker as a hero who saved the state millions with a veto. Blue Cheddar blog has the gory details of the whitewash job.
