Is Walker lying about injury? Sure looks like it.

October 25:

As Walker heads out across the state Saturday for a 10-day get-out-the-vote tour in advance of the Nov. 4 election, he is sporting a white bandage on his right thumb — a casualty, he says, of a pheasant hunting accident in Oconto County last week.

October 17. Notice the heavily bandaged right thumb:



Walker says he injured the thumb pheasant hunting, a story he is telling at stops across the state. The problem with that is that pheasant hunting season didn't start until noon on October 18th, the day after he showed up at the October 17th debate with the bandaged right thumb.

1. Dunno, he lies about everything

but that handshake looks like he's trying to keep his thumb out of harm's way.

He probably hurt his thumb but it was a gladhanding accident, not something manly like hunting.

3. why do they always have to lie?

Such a little thing but so telling about a person's character.

[Warpy]

6. If they ever told the truth, they'd be out on their bums

so fast they'd get road rash. Republicans have to lie and cheat. They can't get elected on anti American policy.

4. His right thumb was bandaged during the debate

His whole thumb was covered in flesh colored bandages. It's very clear in the video of the debate. Now he apparently makes up a story in which it happened after the debate during the manly NRA pleasing act of mishandling a gun. He really is a pathological liar. One explanation could be that he was hunting illegally before the debate, but that isn't very likely.

I don't care about how he injured his thumb, but I am concerned by the ease with which he lies about even little things... It's disturbing.

10. He had it stuck up his ass when he for forgot and sat down.

2. Koch enforcer pulled out his thumbnail.

The punk was about to roll.

5. Just to be fair.

It could have been an accidental confession to poaching. He does see himself as above the laws the rest of us have to follow.

[lutefisk]

8. Or a private game farm?

But who would do that just days before the season opens... or right before a debate? Out of season hunting (he IS the King, right?) seems plausible, though. If not that, he's lying. I remember reading in the Green Bay paper that he said he still got his "birds" even though I think the bag limit is one per day.

9. I have fired thousands of rounds out of hundreds of weapons in my life.

Off the top of my head, the only firearm which is famous for injuring the thumb of the right hand is the M-1 rifle from WWII. I can't see him using a 30-06 to go quail hunting.
Even Walker can't be that stupid.

[olegramps]

11. Yeah, I remember loading them and you had to put the load in with your thumb.

We called it M-1 thumb when the bolt caught your thumb before you could retract it.

[justhanginon]

15. M1 thumb. Oh boy! That brings back a very painful memory from

many years ago. And sitting on my bunk with my compatriots laughing their you know whats off at my rather painful predicament.

7. One of the Boys from Chi-Town must have paid

the little snot a visit. Appears he has some big time pain issues going on. Wasn't the same thumb messed up couple days before hunting season? This POS is so transparent and arrogant you see this shit a mile away. He's bought into something that is so far over his head that it's only down from here. People in Waukashaw County betterfancy be prepared for some fancy vote counting. Nothing has changed from what has or hasn't the lasts election.. Sounds like the same fixers are in place.

12. Say that pheasant plucker is one pleasant Focker...

[mountain grammy]

13. Injured his thumb trying to pull his head out of his ass.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

16. heeeeeeeee!

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Why couldn't Walker have gone hunting before the season started?

He's a Republican who takes money from the Koch brothers. The law is for suckers, not people like Scott Walker.

[itsrobert]

17. What type of weapon was he using

bow and arrow? you might hurt your thumb using that. Maybe a pistol? I don't see a rifle doing that to a thumb.

[madamesilverspurs]

18. 'Hurt it while hunting'

does sound "manlier" than the more likely "bit down while sucking". . .

[undeterred]

19. Was he hunting with Dick Cheney?

[alterfurz]

20. It happened at a fundraiser photo-op at a private game farm...

...$1000 to have your pic taken with Gov. Nimrod. He claimed that despite his injury, he "got the bird"--here's hoping he gets millions more on Nov. 4!

[lutefisk]

21. That's like hunting at the zoo

Or going fishing at a trout farm.

I guess this explains the "hunting" injury being at odds with the actual hunting season. A fake hunter on a fake hunting trip telling stories that imply that he was out with his buddies hunting in the woods. I wonder if the Sportsman for Walker people think this is very sporting?

What kind of goofy bandage is that? Looks like he's either wearing a little condom on his thumb or getting ready to perform a prostate exam.
