Dick Blumenthal: “I played a Vietnam Veteran on Stage -It was a recurring role”

[Joe Boucher]

as a kid i once changed oil from the v.w. and it drained on the ground and a friends wife read me the riot act then splained to me about the pollutants effect.

Anyone who believes these lame lies that the Dems tell deserves to have their whole world fall in on them. Which is exactly what is going to happen if their policies aren’t soundly rejected.

If you had to try to explain the Advent of the Tea Party and peoples anger you would be hard Pressed to find a more Concise explanation as Blumenthal and His Mealy Mouthed speech at his News Conference today.
This is Precisely the Crap that people are just sick and tired of,A Politician who So Blatantly Lies on something so profound and then Squirms like the Slimy Lizard that he looks like while trying to do I dont know what with that circus called a News Conference and to top it off he has Lackies Applauding Him to Boot, What A freakin DISGRACE

[Ann Archy]

And Mark Souder “misplaced” his penis!!

[Ann Archy]

PLUS he’s the ATTORNEY GENERAL!! “STOLEN VALOR” is a CRIME!!

[Chode]

Well, when you lose, just say you won. You’ll feel a whole lot better.

There was a time —not so long ago, since I can remember it— when democrat voters would have shamed this lying fraud out of even running for public office. Not so anymore. Democrats like to be lied to and count it a badge of competence that their candidates can lie and steal and live thuggish lives while ‘legislating’ ... so long as the democrats deliver the dole unabated.

In a related story, New York Representative Charlie Rangel today said that his money was simply "misplaced taxes."

[Uri’el-2012]

At a news conference backed by veterans, the popular Connecticut attorney general and front-runner to replace the retiring Sen. Christopher Dodd, said he meant to say he served "during Vietnam" instead of "in Vietnam." He said the statements were "totally unintentional" errors that occurred only a few times out of hundreds of public appearances.

Did Blumenthal mis-speak when he chose to do his presser
at a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall ?

Was he stealing warriors valor doing his presser at the VFW ?

The people behind him were not members of the VFW.

[Chode]

absolutely... power is their only objective and for it the RATS will, or may already have, sold their souls...

i’m starting to believe that the Zer0 truly is Nyarlathotep...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep

he is described as a “tall, swarthy man” who resembles an Egyptian pharaoh who wanders the earth, seemingly gathering legions of followers through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments, the narrator of the story among them. These followers lose awareness of the world around them, and through the narrator’s increasingly unreliable accounts the reader gets a sense of the world’s utter collapse. The story ends with the narrator as part of an army of servants for Nyarlathotep.

I nominate him for king of the weasels.

Never have I heard a more pathetic "explanation".

He should be ashamed, and fire all those who "advised" him.

THEN, he should resign.
