GREATEST HEADLINE OF THE CENTURY AWARD



New York Times:


"CANDIDATE's WORDS ON VIETNAM SERVICE DIFFER FROM HISTORY"

By RAYMOND HERNANDEZ
Published: May 17, 2010

At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut spoke . . .

“We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr. Blumenthal said. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.”

There is one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam . . .




Isn't that the greatest headline you've ever seen? They can't bring themselves to say it . . . Bush lied, Karl Rove lied, Rush Limbaugh's a liar - they can chant those phrases all day and all night and never have to make their point - but one of their own gets caught DEAD TO RIGHTS lying about military service and they run the greatest cover since ". . . that all depends on what the meaning of is, is . . ."


BUT! He's a Democrat! AND in a Blue State . . . this won't slow down his chances . . . if anything it'll be a resume enhancer . . .


Oh, by the way Mr. Blumenthal - while you're awaiting your (inevitable) nomination to Senate, we the editorial staff at STORMBRINGER have a little award for you HERE.

  2. Blumenthal used 5 deferments to avoid the draft, in order to go to school and other scholarly programs, with the last deferment running out, Blumenthal joined the Marine Corps Reserve in 1970, to avoid the draft again. He served in Washington, and the most terrifying thing he did was Toys for Tots. He never left CONUS, and never went to RVN. He isn't a Viet Nam War Veteran, but he is a Viet Nam ERA Serviceman. He sure likes to confuse people, into thinking that he is a War Veteran...........and he's not!
