Tom Harkin didn't kill 47 Viet Cong with his bare hands in the jungles of 'Nam so Hugo Chavez could be criticized for calling George Bush the devil.
Harkin lied about his Vietnam service (there was none) during the 1992 primaries, then was forced to recant.
Now he defends Chavez. What a worthless creep.

I heard that he shuttled planes over the Pacific until a NV Mig-19 shot up his fuselage with 23mm canon fire. He was then given the Venezualan Medal of Questionable Honor with poison ivy clusters.
It later turned out that it was not a Mig but a Segull that crapped on Harkin's windscreen. Harkins refused to return the medal, wanting to keep it on display with the one's he earned during the Spanish-American War.
