Daily Howler on Blumenthal

[Dawson Leery]

"THERE THEY GO AGAIN (permalink): Richard Blumenthal is Connecticut’s attorney general—and he’s a candidate for the senate. Though he’s 64 years old, he never served in Vietnam. But uh-oh! Over the years, he seems to have said and implied, on several occasions, that he did serve in Nam.

Well—Blumenthal will seem to have said and implied that to the extent that you trust the judgment of the New York Times’ Raymond Hernandez, who presents a lengthy, front-page report on this topic in today’s paper. A bit of context:

There’s a deja vu quality to this piece, a flashback to the journalism of the period from 1988 through 2004. During this period, reporters seemed to like nothing more than the long, laborious effort to define a major pol’s character based on his approach to service in Vietnam. Of course, the press corps was often rather selective in launching these high-minded jihads. In 1992, they chased Bill Clinton all over town concerning his military record. By way of contrast, they broke their backs, in 1999 and 2000, to avoid the topic of George Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard. In that same campaign, no topic was avoided more skillfully than the topic of Bill Bradley’s service."

3. Fact is, Blumenthal is a plain liar and a Lieberman-like self-promotoer

he sucks.

Here's why:

and as attorney general he KNOWS that he lied through his teeth. He wasn't even TRYING to be honest and never corrected his misstatements and lies at the time.

Read the thread above for more on why we need to saupport his Democratic opponent.

Really, Blumenthal is a lot like joe the former DINO Lieberman ans he will probably lose this election.

There ARE alternatives but only THREE DAYS to get 15% of the delagates to force a primary.
