Man arrested, accused of stolen valor (at 'rat mayor's inauguration)
KTRK-TV (Houston) ^ | 2/6/10 | ktrk newsroom

He looks like a soldier. He says he's a soldier. But he's not a soldier. And now he is facing charges for lying about his resume. When we started asking questions, so did the FBI.

The man, who the FBI says is nothing but a fraud, even showed up in a military uniform at Houston Mayor Annise Parker's inauguration. The problem is that he didn't earn any of the medals he was wearing.

Michael Patrick McManus was arrested Friday night after a federal judge signed a warrant for his arrest. The FBI says he was arrested without incident.

I guess he will be the Dim president some day. This one lies like a cheap rug. I expect him to come out with a chest full of medals.

I think the earlier stuff I saw about this story claimed that this guy is just a fruit thinking he's making a fashion statement. Did he actually claim that he was awarded those decorations?

(I understand that it makes no difference in the eyes of the law--I'm just wondering about his motivation).

Anyone ever hear of a lawyer named:

Jay Grodner

look that up for shites and giggles when you get the chance.

I like to refer to as being Grodnered.

That’s what needs to happen to this dude.

Look at the picture of that cowardly jackass weasel.

One glance is all you need to know he didn’t earn those medals.

Hang him from his ankles and let real soldiers use him as their punching/kicking bag for a few hours.

Ha! Glad they got the scumbag.

Watching the video, I discovered that John Breiden, who I served with in the Army lives not too far from me in Brenham, TX. I may have to look him up sometime.

This one was easy, as soon as I saw bodyguard while looking at picture I laughed. I guess just having stand next to Steven Seagal qualifies him as Bodyguard, lol.
