Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Word to the wise
Don’t claim to be a Marine … unless you really are one. As this story notes, one guy had to find that out the hard way:
William Horvath of Whitefish had claimed to have served his country as a Marine, but never did. It’s the kind of offense that could easily be glossed over, but not for real veterans. Unfortunately for Horvath, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy is a real veteran.
Molloy fashioned a unique sentence for Horvath. For 50 hours, Horvath must walk the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse from Missoula, revealing his shame on a sandwich board.
On the front will read, “I am a liar. I am not a Marine.” On the back will be the words: “I have never served my country. I have dishonored veterans of all wars.”
Horvath also must write letters of apology to local newspapers and to veterans groups.
Heidi at Euphoric Reality (hat tip to her, BTW, for this link) wonders when/if we’ll see something similar happen to serial liar Jesse MacBeth.
Heh.

Did someone mention pretending to be a Marine war hero?
Murtha a war hero?
hi…..
Ya know….if our President, had just half the spunk of this judge, in dealing with the New York Times, CIA, etc etc….we would be gaining seats this Nov instead of loosing 30 (Novak) in the House and who knows how many in the Senate.

When we have elections, you will get an accurate count of how many seats go whatever way. Just because someone says something or some poll says something, does not mean it is going to happen.

I agree, it isn’t like Mr. Novak’s gift for the prophetic helped anyone in the whole Plame Game affair. With all of these idiotic comments coming out of Dem leadership. Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, Dean saying such stupid things, I don’t see how the Republicans can’t gain seats. We shall see tho, won’t we. – Lorica
Wow. How very Kerry-like. This Murtha info, should it ever see the light of day, is sure to result in the same smear campaign as did the Swift Boat Vets. What a shame it hadn’t come out before he started trash talking our military and it’s strategies.
I like it!!!
Bill “I pretended to be President” along with Hillary “I only pretended to invest in white water” would seem to be good candidates for sandwich boarding.
mutha is a disgrace to the uniform and can yall say
“IT AIN’T NICE TO FOOL UNCLE SAM”

Walking with a sandwich board? He got off easy. Hmph. Loser.
As for Murtha…it will just come out as a loud, long string of cuss words, so I won’t say it.
Semper Fidelis.
(Or, as Murtha would say, Semper I.)
