I don’t live anywhere near Minnesota and I don’t follow Minnesota politics, so when Kamala Harris tapped round-faced Timothy Walz, I did a “who?" Most people, even those in politics, did the same.

After Walz pranced onto the stage at the Democrat Conventions and while clutching the hand of Harris, lifted one of his legs into the air like he was a Rockette, I knew that her choice of Walz was a bad pick. But, did anyone anticipate that he would be this bad?

Walz was soon outed as a serial liar. But he's not just a garden-variety liar like the Liar in Chief Joe Biden, he did what every normal person hates – he lied about his service. It wasn’t long before his lies were exposed. He claimed that he carried a weapon in war, and we know now that that was a lie. What was particularly galling was bootlickers trying to defend him.

We learned that Tim had claimed to be a retired Command Master Sergeant. But he wasn’t. He never completed the work needed for that rank because he bailed on his men.

Walz also drove drunk and was arrested, booked, and photographed. That part of his life he couldn’t lie about.

He claimed to be the “coach” of his high school’s football team. Nope. I played football in high school. He was an assistant coach and didn’t last very long because of his drunk driving.

He claimed he was in neighboring Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square when Chinese communist soldiers murdered protestors. He wasn’t there. Walz tried to prance out of that massive lie by claiming he just mixed up the dates. That’s like someone claiming they witnessed the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, but in reality, they visited the Arizona Memorial years later. Oops, just an honest mistake.

His excuse? He’s a knucklehead.

The Harris/Walz campaign is imploding, and they know it. Dems are in a panic. Sure, the Harris/Walz team has the suburban-wine-women vote wrapped up, but the majority of men have no interest in Harris and Walz. The “JD Vance is weird” tactic didn’t sell, so the new line is that Walz (and Dougie) represent the “new masculinity." That campaign is taking a nosedive because Walz is a doofus, besides being a stolen valor clown.

The campaign thought of a brilliant new tactic:

Let's send Timmy out into the fields with actual hunters!

The problem was – once a doofus, always a doofus. Walz, it turns out, is Elmer Fudd in the flesh. Walz embarrassed himself with the cameras rolling. Dukakis in orange.

But I have to admit, when I saw Tim Walz trying to load his gun during his pheasant hunt in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, on Saturday, I did have an "OMG" moment. I was concerned for his safety and the safety of the people around him because of the trouble he was having just to try to load it. Has he ever used this gun before? Shades of Elmer Fudd.

I drew this cartoon the same day Walz was tromping around in his freshly bought hunter's kit and fumbling with his Berretta shotgun.
