Romney’s time in France is as much a hyped mendacity as Kerry’s time in Vietnam.
What is about Massachusetts that so many accomplished liars come from there?
You beat me to the punch. That’s exactly what immediately popped into my head when I heard this. Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not LDS), but I understand that all LDS young men are required to do 2 year’s of missionary service. Where’s the honor/sacrifice in that? If you’re forced to go, it’s not so deserving of awe anymore, is it? Like volunteer soldiers, those missionaries that risk their lives, fortune, or careers and who voluntarily serve those less fortunate than themselves are those who earn higher marks in my book. France is not exactly a hardship tour. Just sayin’...
