http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lawrence-meyer/chris-matthews-climb-down_b_581158.html"Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut's attorney general and a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, misrepresented his service record -- claiming to have served in Vietnam when, in fact, he did not.
Chris Matthews, on Hardball Tuesday night, had smoke blowing out his ears, condemning Blumenthal's misrepresentation as "unspeakable". Matthews couldn't contain his outrage -- "I don't know how you could lie about such a thing." The only moral course for Blumenthal, Matthews suggested, was to fall on his sword, and if he doesn't, then the Senate -- that body of high virtue and moral standards -- maybe should refuse to seat him if he's elected. "The United States Senate cannot take on the morally dead weight of this candidate without honor."
The writer's point is: Matthews got deferments too. He never served. So who is he to pass judgment on Mr. Blumenthal?
