Our friend, Doug Sterner, is fond of pointing out that people who lie about their military service are also guilty of other shortcomings and indiscretions. This morning’s Wall Street Journal<\/a> catalogs some of Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal’s other lies besides the ones he told about his service in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Take for example the story of Gina Kolb whose small computer company was torn apart by the CT AG’s office on false charges. Ms. Kolb stood her ground and eventually won an $18 million law suit against the AG’s office for Blumenthal’s false statements about her and her company.<\/p>\n

…the Competitive Enterprise Institute rated Mr. Blumenthal the worst state AG, beating Mr. [Eliot] Spitzer, which takes some doing.<\/p>\n

He was the only AG to get failing grades in each of the four categories: using his office to “promote personal gain or enrich cronies or relatives”; “fabricating the law” by asking courts to “rewrite statutes or stretch constitutional norms”; bringing lawsuits “that usurp regulatory powers granted to the federal government or other state entities”; and “seeking to regulate conduct occurring wholly in other states.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Discovery of this lie about his military service and Blumenthal’s inability to apologize for it, is indicative of the true nature of the man that Democrats want to represent the people of CT in the Senate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
