turtlespeed 226 #1 May 30, 2010 . . . and yet ANOTHER that can't seem to get their own military background straight. Idiot - Why? Now the race is between him and a dolt who's family cannot run a bank. Good idea Illinios . . . Lets choose from these two. Maybe . . . QuoteIn a message on his blog, Kirk wrote that "upon a recent review of my records, I found that an award listed in my official biography was misidentified" and that the award he had intended to list was given to his unit, not to him individually. BUT NO . . . Quote Kirk, whose campaign has emphasized his military service as a reservist, similarly misstated the award during a House committee hearing in March 2002. In a remark recorded by C-Span, he said, "I was the Navy's Intelligence Officer of the Year," an achievement he depicted as providing special qualifications to discuss national security spending. And then the spin again . . . SUUUUUURE you did - Misidentified MY ASS! QuoteEric Elk, a spokesman for Kirk's campaign, declined to comment except to say "we found the award was misidentified and corrected the name." Oops - Sorry - getting late and I misidentified Bonfire as Speakers Corner.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #2 May 30, 2010 I really get a kick out of the way politicians back-pedal when they get caught. They really do believe they are so smart and the public is so stupid. They are no different than any other crook when they get caught.Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaDon 385 #3 May 30, 2010 So, another politician caught "padding" his resume. Hopefully the voters will reward his integrity with the appropriate vote, although these days the most important issue seems to be "I'm NOT the incumbent" so maybe honesty (or a functional memory) is not so critical. Anyway when I saw the title I thought this thread would be about how someone read your "Obama disrespects again" thread and mistook your front end from your back. Easy to do I guess, turtles are kind of symmetrical so they can look similar coming and going. Hope you and everyone has a safe Memorial day.

I'm unaware of any evidence or accusation of bank fraud by Giannoulias or his family. From what I've read the family's bank was a victim of fraud....
