Accident or outright lie? David Brooks goes both ways but, no matter which, he sort of exonerates Blumenthal.

Blumenthal is a litmus test that is revealing everyone’s true colors.

Isn’t claiming to be a member of the military a crime?

Correction. Liberals, not politicians, are expected to lie.

Gee, NYT columnists talk about politicians who are pathological liars. Did he also accidentally say he was captain of the Harvard swim team?
Of course NYT columnists think politicians who continually lie are no big deal. Those are the politicians they support. The NYT reporters and columnists also lie constantly anyway.

Blumenthal sounds almost as brave as Hitlery Clintoon; she had to dodge sniper fire while running down the tarmac.
It's ok though, Jean-I've-been-to-Vietnam-Kerry was a swiftboat cap'n; maybe he can ferry them to safety after he's done razing villages and cutting off ears.

The claim is dishonorable, but everybody expects politicians to lie.He offer up an indictment as an excuse.
We are certainly living in strange times.

Kerry really was in Vietnam, and probably also in Cambodia. It seems likely to me that he confused Tet with Christmas in his mind and wound up sounding like a pathological liar. It cost him the White House and indirectly led to the age of Obama. On such little details does our history depend.

Brooks got one thing right. The claim is dishonorable. Brooks is an idiot regardless.
Blumenthal lied and misrepresented his service. He was a veteran of Vietnam era reserves but did not serve in Vietnam. Big difference and he shouldn’t lie about what he didn’t do.
