Phony Marine at Phony Vietnam Blumenthal's Presser

American Thinker Blog: Phony Marine at Phony Vietnam Blumenthal's Presser
"Clarice Feldman

Doug Ross spots a ringer.
One of the merry band of brother 'Marines' at the presser of Connecticut Democrat Senatorial candidate Blumenthal evidently is a phony soldier.

This is William Joseph Trumpower (AKA Eliot Storm), a man listed on POW Network's Phony Vets Database.

Trumpower, like Blumenthal, is a Connecticut resident and has made quite a name for himself hawking books on the Vietnam experience.
The 'POW Networks Phony' database lists Trumpower's bogus credentials as follows:


CLAIMING BRONZE STAR w/VALOR device... Claims 2nd Lt, Claims... Wears 3 Purple Hearts, 2 Bronze Starsw/V. The jacket in EARLIER pictures boasted 8 ribbons. This NEW pic has more and includes V device on Bronze Star and 2nd Lt bars....

It's entirely fitting if the staged Blumenthal apology was, as our anonymous contributor asserts, accompanied by another puffed-up bloviator."

Editorial: County board needs to clarify rules

Editorial: County board needs to clarify rules
"Our form of government works best when the people participate.

Elected officials need to get comfortable with this new interest from the public and accommodate it.


They need to look at the public as partners, not opponents."

Wow!

A breath of fresh air from The Chronicle.

It is about time our county leaders realized that they work for the citizens and taxpayers of the county and not the other way around.

Other cities and counties post union contracts on the web.

Provide voice and video of meetings for free or on the web.

Easily accommodate interested citizens who ask questions about how their local government is spending their money.

This may be a first step towards the disinfecting light of sunshine for our county commission.

It must not be the last.

Kudos to The Chronicle to stand tall with our citizens.

This Dick Blumenthal even looks a little like Eliot Spitzer.

And now it turns out, as somebody said yesterday, even Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than he did.

Copy machines, a security risk?

Senators load financial overhaul with irrelevancies

Senators load financial overhaul with irrelevancies
"Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., wants the government to finish building the 700-mile fence between the U.S. and Mexico.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wants to end the health insurance industry's antitrust protection.

West Virginia's two senators want help with mine and oil rig safety.

They all want to add these things to the financial regulatory overhaul bill that's moving through the Senate, even though their ideas have little or nothing to do with oversight of financial markets."
