U.S. energy secretary duped into fake interview with Russian comedians

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry optimistically discussed expanding American coal exports to Ukraine and other energy matters during a lengthy phone call this month with a Russian prankster who Perry thought was Ukraine's prime minister.

Perry actually was talking with comedians known in Russia for targeting celebrities and politicians with audacious stunts, Energy Department spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes said in a written statement.

Same thing happened to Governor Snotty Wanker of Wisconsin back in 2011 when a blogger from the "Buffalo Beast" secretly recorded (and subsequently leaked the contents of) a 20-minute phone conversation in which Walker thought he was talking to one of the Koch brothers and admitted, among other things, that he "had considered" planting agents provocateurs among the demonstrators who were at that time occupying the Capitol Building in Madison in protest of Wisconsin Act 10, the Walker-proposed legislation designed to emasculate the state employees' union and eventually add Wisconsin to the list of 'Right To Work' (For Less) states.
