The AP notes that a longer version of the video showing Richard Blumenthal (D) suggesting he served in Vietnam also has him correctly characterizing his service by saying that he "served in the military, during the Vietnam era."

1. Yes, they edited it to harm him.

2. Well if that is the case he certainly doesn't need to quit the race.

And whomever did the edititng needs to be sent to vlad the impaler's house.

3. I keep hearing on Boston radio that his bio says he was captain of the Harvard swim team..

but that he was not. is that true??

BTW the boston radio media has a huge rightwing slant.

4. Could there be a hidden agenda here. Blumenthal, I heard on one

of the Channels may not be exactly loved by Business.
He has not hesitated to go after Business on many different
issues.

Like Spitzer, bury him on another issue. Just a thought.

5. It KILLS me that the corrupt media will NOT mention this little tidbit..

It will possibly kill Blumenthal's chances...
