Veterans today rushed to defend embattled CT Senatorial candidate Richard Blumenthal, exposed by the NYT as
having lied about serving in Vietnam instead of receiving five deferments and a safe spot in the Stateside reserves...
"I think maybe the proudest days of my Vietnam service were the time I fought alonside Rick Blumenthal to hold Charlie out of Stuttgart during the Tet Offensive..." -- Ward Reilly, Vietnam Vets Against the War
"I support Rick Blumenthal even though he never bravely killed a two-year-old like I did..." -- Senator John Kerry, D-MA
"I would endorse Rick Blumenthal but I can't spell it..." -- Jessie Macbeth, Iraq Veterans Against the War
"Rick Blumenthal saved an Iraqi dog my Bradley driver wanted to run over!" -- The New Republic's correspondent Scotty Beauchamp
UPDATE: Fake veteran
"endorsing" Blumenthal
AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE
His name is William Joseph
Trumpower and he's listed on the
POW Network's "Phony" database, for claiming medals he never earned, rank he never held and experiences he never had.
(Ht: This Ain't Hell)
BTW, if you're seriously interested in the "Stolen Valor" outrage, This Ain't Hell does an outstanding job of covering it.
