"Cleland, who became a triple amputee in Vietnam when he picked up a live American grenade while horsing around"

O.K. does this qualify for the Darwin Award or what?

We threw that idiot out of office here in GA cause he drank too much of the Kool-Aid. Damn him and sKerry's cheap tricks.

It was interesting to see that version in print. It differs from the current "official version", but is much closer to the story which circulated when he first ran for office many years ago.

No it qualifies for the Almost Darwin Award. He would have to been killed in order to qualify

That's not true but it sounds better than "He threw the pin".

No, He didn't die.

What would have happened if the SS man had taken the letter, gone to the car and put sticker on it that said MOVEON.ORG, and returned it to max?

Just my twisted sense of humor ;-D

Obviously there was some brain injury that wasn't reported in the incident.

It sickens me to see someone playing the pity card.

Asked why the president didn't accept his letter personally, Mr. Cleland reportedly replied, "I'm stumped".

No, I believe he can still reproduce. The Darwin Award is only for acts which remove the perpetrator from the gene pool.
