What kind of Idiot is Sen. Blumenthal?..

80. He misspoke one or two times -- he usually said Vietnam ERA service, which was true

You could argue that was too clever by half and intended to mislead, while being accurate. He also was an excellent Attorney General of CT when he ran. A few times, it came out as having Vietnam service.

Not to mention, if you want to speak of errors claiming things that were not true - what about a former first Lady speaking of being under fire in Bosnia with her daughter -- something that would have been first page news around the world --- or claiming she tried to enlist but they would not take her ... shortly before she got married. (In the first case, she WAS in Bosnia, which had shortly before been a war zone which likely concerned her. In the second, I assume it was almost just conversation.)

I would say it might be a culture that puts so much value on being in the service or under fire that people running make such claims ... but both of these occurred after 2004, when a genuine war hero, who not only serviced for about 4 years, but earned two prestigious medals for heroism had his honest recoord attacked.

Can we concentrate on going after Trump, who lies on a daily basis.
