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.

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

Warpy
(111,339 posts)so fast they'd get road rash. Republicans have to lie and cheat. They can't get elected on anti American policy.

(3,974 posts)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.

(5,279 posts)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
(3,974 posts)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.

(5,279 posts)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.

(34,661 posts)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.

(14,157 posts)bow and arrow? you might hurt your thumb using that. Maybe a pistol? I don't see a rifle doing that to a thumb.

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.
