    He is now. However, I don’t think many people would’ve called him elite back in 1992.

        That was my point. He comes from humble beginnings, and made good.

        Public perception is funny. Dubya tried to portray himself as this down-to-earth guy, in touch with the common yokel, but the reality is obviously completely different.

        I was only joking

              This really doesn't make any sense, since these lies are so easily verified. OTOH, he's a Dem, so the media doesn't investigate or vet like they would a Republican.

                Here’s the actual website from 2006 that he updated to include the word “junior” that had previously been missed as part of a typo error. What a liar! Smoking gun!

                        And here's why I hate the press...

                        It is a risky strategy for Republicans that invites comparison between Walz, with decades of military service, and former President Donald Trump, who received a series of deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam, including one attained with a physician’s letter stating he suffered from bone spurs in his feet.

                        He got 4 student deferments and one for the "spurs."

                        Somehow the Associate (with Democrats) Press doesn't mention this:

                        Football player, lifeguard Scranton Joe got one more student deferment (5) and one for "asthma."

                            "Why I decided to get into politics. I wasn't political until then"

                            In Walz’s telling, the “folksy” high school teacher and two of his students attended a campaign rally for President George W. Bush as an educational experience. However, Walz says, all three of them were denied entry upon event staffers noticing a John Kerry sticker on one of the students’ wallets — an exchange that the Atlantic dubbed a “KGB-style interrogation.”

                            There’s just one problem: This version of the political origin story for the Democratic vice presidential nominee, who is already facing “stolen valor” accusations over claims about his military service from combat veterans, contains significant inaccuracies.

                            For one, Walz was admitted into the Bush rally, according to a source familiar, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the August 2004 event. The two teenagers Walz arrived with, Matt Klaber and Nick Burkhart, were not his students, the Washington Examiner confirmed.

                            Moreover, the teenagers were barred from the event after a confrontation that made local news earlier in the week — leading to them initially being denied tickets.

                            And while Walz framed the squabble as the “moment that I decided to run for office” since he had “never been overly involved in political campaigns,” evidence suggests that Walz was already politically active by that point: He participated days earlier in an anti-Bush protest before the 2004 Bush rally in Mankota, Minnesota, on Aug. 4, an image confirms.

                            More at the link about the students (not his), and their activities.

                                Bash again asked him whether he misspoke when he said he had carried weapons in war.

                                “In this case, this was after school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war,” Walz said. “And my wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar is not always correct.”

                                Bad grammar.

                                Time after time, he embellishes his military history. It's Biden-worthy.

                                        It’s almost certainly an old clip.

                                          Walz’s motorcade involved in a crash on the way to a campaign stop, with a 'few minor injuries'

                                          Several vehicles in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s motorcade were involved in a minor crash on the way to a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Labor Day, causing some minor injuries, Walz said.

                                          "Some of you might have heard, some of my staff and members of the press that were traveling with us were involved in a traffic accident on the way here today," Walz said at a Monday campaign event following the crash. "We've spoken with the staff. I'm relieved to say that with a few minor injuries, everybody's going to be okay. So thank you."

                                          He added that Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden, who were campaigning together on Monday, "called to check in, and we certainly appreciate their concern. And I want to express my sincere thanks to the U.S. Secret Service and all the local first responders for their quick reaction to help. So, on behalf of the vice president, myself and our entire campaign, we're grateful for your work today and every day."

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
