Just heard that he also stated that he was the captain of the swimming team while at Harvard. Word has it that not only was he not the captain, he was never on the swimming team. Anyone hear about this?
heard that too
This liar is 0 cabinet material.

On a less serious matter, another flattering but untrue description of Mr. Blumenthal’s history has appeared in profiles about him. In two largely favorable profiles, the Slate article and a magazine article in The Hartford Courant in 2004 with which he cooperated, Mr. Blumenthal is described prominently as having served as captain of the swim team at Harvard. Records at the college show that he was never on the team.
