Brown lied on his resume at least twice. That alone is reason enough for me to can him. You can't have someone in an operations center who lies. ever.

Juries still out. The reporters at Time used hearsay evidence including evidence retracted by their primary source since she had NOT been there when Brown was. Statements are also contrasted by other statements NOT published by Time but other sources. After Rathergate and Gitmo, Downing Street and Koran Flush, I find it hard to just automatically accept the Dinasour Media reports as fact until we see more ACTUAL evidence.

What were the two lies?

He said he was an assistant manager in 1975-78. He was in fact an assistant TO a manager. Which is, in fact, what an "assistant manager" is. An ASSISTANT TO A MANAGER.

Unless you think an "assistant manager" is a manager in charge of assisting?

And he did work on emergency management, it was his area of "assistance" to the manager, who had broader overall duties.

So, what are the two places that you KNOW he lied on his resume?

They are still trying to dig up the records to find the list of directors for the nursing home, and does it make any sense to you that he would have LIED about that? It woudln't have helped at all in confirmation one way or another.

In fact, I bet he would have liked to have left it off, but it turns out that leaving anything OFF the submission to the congress is ALSO a punishable offense.

Most of the other stuff was things that were published by other people, that had disclaimers that they were based on 2nd-hand information and might not be accurate. There is no indication he had anything to do with the minor errors in the FindLaw database.

So I am withholding judgment, pending the revelation of actual FACTS. Because the only quoted people they had in TIME have already backtracked. We now have an "appearance" of impropriety, something democrats love to convict republicans for.
