Kudos to The New York Times for exposing the truth-challenged Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, a Democrat running to become Connecticut’s next U.S. Senator. Mr. Blumenthal has been saying that he had served in Vietnam when, in fact, he never did. Instead, he received five military deferments and ended up enlisting in the Marine [...]

No doubt by now, you’ve heard that the guy who did the voiceovers for those clever Geico commercials left a foul-mouthed message on the conservative FreedomWorks group’s answering machine.
