Democrat Richard Blumenthal, running for Connecticut's US Senate seat, baldly asserted he had served in Viet Nam. It never happened. Blumenthal fessed up. Rather than being hooted out of the election, people at the news conference applauded Blumenthal for his lie.
This rates a 10 on the "Huh?" scale. This is a fairly new thing. Why on earth do Democrats adore confessed liars of far left political stripe? What's next, suborning perjury? Currently serving as Connecticut Attorney General, Blumenthal should have lost his current job for such stupidity and been totally disqualified from the Senate.
Time will tell.
The New York Times ran a couple of stories on this. Here's one and the other.
