Cleland is in a wheelchair. He lost his leg(s) in VietNam. I'm not sure if it's one or both.

Great thread! Question: did anybody make up a Clinton scorecard?

Cleland is a triple amputee, the result of a horrible grenade accident in Vietnam. It was a non-combat wound, but that does not make his service any less honorable. Max is a very nice fellow, but the issue is his politics. He campaigns like Reagan, but votes like Kennedy. Time to find another job...

Cleland lost both legs. He happened to be on a flight I was taking to Boston about a year or so ago. Got to hand it to him. Our flight was delayed about 3 hrs. He waited out there with his wife with the rest of us. Even saw him wheelchair up to a urinal and do his thing by himself with no legs. Acted like a regular guy and didn't get any special treatment. For a dem, I was impressed. I'd take many of our southern dems over those new england RINO's any day - except I do want control of the Senate!
