And in this corner we have PFC SGT LT CAPT Pinocchio Issa...

UggaBugga has another brilliant chart. What Darrell "Pinocchio" Issa says vs. what the record shows. Raise your hands if you think this might be the Pinocchio Factor at work here. You can put your hands down now. Now poor Pinocchio does admit that he only has an IQ of about "100", which is somewhere around low-average, but I could be wrong (psychologists chip in here...) so maybe there's a mental incapacity defense for his actions, bloviations and past misdeeds out there. It doesn't speak well of his district; they sent this reject to DC...but I digress:

[Issa's profile in the San Diego Tribune included an] account of having turned down an Army offer to send him to prep school and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

possible contradiction

Issa's military records do not reflect an offer by the military to send him to prep school and West Point, although the records would not necessarily do so.

Asked Saturday ... Issa responded ..."I was an ROTC-commissioned officer," he said. "That's the end of the story. West Point is an irrelevant part. The prep school at West Point is an irrelevant part."

Of course if Pinocchio produces his DD-214, we could know in about five seconds about all of the things he claimed to have done vs. what he did. I am surprised that a reporter in San Diego would not ask to see that, up front. Anyone know what ROTC program he was in? Surely his classmates would remember him, mine all remember me.

Shady personal background? Check.

Unfamiliarity with the law? Check.

Inability to take responsibility for personal actions? Check.

Facility with blaming someone else, in this case a relative who I believe is currently vacationing at the Greybar Hotel? Check.

Issues about confusing personal ambition with the health of the nation? Check.

Skill at ignoring the thrust of questions aimed at past lies? Check.

Fixation about "moving on" after being caught in serial lies? Check.

Another Fascist thug politician is ready to roll out onto the national stage, to make the country safer for Gazillionaires.

I'm not surprised ... ;)

Lurch,

Your post was a pretty comprehensive listing. Add just one thing, (marrying a bull dyke lesbian) and you have described der ubermensch and most admirable possible example of the Democrat Party.

Hooah!!

.....Can we stop dancing around the magic circle of Issa's military record...and get to the core of it? I'd like to know where Issa was, what he was and how long he was in the military. The record, please.
If his military career is as dismal as that of George W. Bush, the people of California have a right to know before they go to the polls in this outrageous recall election. Gray Davis was awarded a Bronze Star in Vietnam. Let me see the color of Issa's battle ribbons and medals! Let's get beyond the lies. California deserves better than a rotten apple like Issa.

Thanks,

Claudine Willis

Some nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
