Did anybody see this weasel's press-conference today ?
For the record, I despise the Republican political machine equally with the Dems.
To me, most career politicians are sleaze-balls, in all parties.
quoted for truth
and then he did this.
Has to be a total brain fart.

I was a Marine reserve. I served to the best of my ability in that capacity. I am envious that many of my fellow enlistees actually braved the battlefield and returned alive. To me they are true soldiers and heros. I guess deep down inside of me I know I am a pussy compared to them and at points of weakness in my career I have tried to lump myself in with them by making misleading statements that I actually was with them. I am only a man and in this case I erred and disrespected the men and women who did serve in the Viet Nam war. I hope that my honesty about my weakness does not make me an unfit contender for the current political process of which I am participating in. However, if that be the case, then I take full responsibility for the words I used in error an deception. May I be forgiven and we all move on.
She actually said she was dodging sniper fire when her and Chelsea went to, I think it was Bosnia
- for a few reasons.
I do give him credit for serving in the Marines - especially as an enlisted man, since I'm
assuming he was a child of privilege - since he went to Harvard.
I don't like the using of "misspoke" at all. I prefer lie, or "to not tell the truth."
"Misspoke " reminds us of the Clinton - "What is "IS" crap"....
I don't know the guy or know his record and care not what party he belongs to - to me
they're all the same - the "system" seems to perpetuate the old-boys network of
lies, corruption, power and deceit.
That is like forgetting you were involved in an orgy at the playboy mansion while running rails with Slash and Ozzy Osborne!
Dig it - while he can claim "Vietnam Era" service, to imply or suggest that he was
"in country" - is deception - at best.
So if i was born on an army base during the Vietnam era (which i was not) I could claim to have been in the military during the Nam era!
2 year olds would make excellent tunnel rats come to think of it.
NYT
In 2003, he [Blumenthal] addressed a rally in Bridgeport, where about 100 military families gathered to express support for American troops overseas. “When we returned, we saw nothing like this,”...Asked about the Bridgeport rally, Mr. Blumenthal said he did not recall the event.
“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008.
There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
What is striking about Mr. Blumenthal's record is the contrast between the many steps he took that allowed him to avoid Vietnam, and the misleading way he often speaks about that period of his life now, especially when he is speaking at veterans' ceremonies or other patriotic events.
I have seen others on TV
Not like I closely follow the race in CT or really care.
I knew one was during a debate, and even that took a while to find
Pit Row
I don't care enough to.
I don't give a shit if he wins or loses, I just know what I saw.
I found one of them because I knew it was during the debate, if that's not enough for you, oh well.
