Did you watch McDermott tonight on Donahaue? He carefully said he served during "the Viet Nam era". He also said, he "took care of men coming back to Los Angeles".

In his ABC interview from Baghdad, and this morning on the Capital steps, McDermott said he served in Viet Nam. I think those of us who have spent the afternoon emailing media outlets has caused McDermott to amend his claims. I emailed Donahue. Tonight Donahue said, "OK Congressman, so you served during the Viet Nam era, you weren't actually in Viet Nam, but ........." I submit Donahue was trying to clean up the false impression McDermott intentionally gave in earlier interviews and statements."

Sadly, the media will NOT hold McDermott accountable for lying about his military record.

No,I'm one of the poor people who don't have cable. I'm still happy with rabbit ears. Thanks for the info,though. I agree with you that Donahue was probably trying to do some "spin" for his fellow commie.
