A lot of comments remind us not to forget about the Jeff/James Gannon/Guckert scandal. Believe me, we haven't...even though the MSM seems to have.
DailyKos has another new development involving Jeff/James. Looks like our boy may have made up the whole military record thing too. We don't know yet, but here's what Kos is reporting:
Fake name. Fake reporter. Fake news agency. And now this ...Love the Kossacks.
Fake Marine.
First, we went to the Military Personnel Records of the National Personnel Records Center at St. Louis, Missouri, the supposed repository of all military records. No record showed, but the official letter hemmed and hawed and scraped its military-booted feet so much, kinda sorta explaining that they're often ... well ... ummm ... screwed up ... and that we should check directly with the United States Marine Corps at Quantico. You know, just to ... ummm ... make sure.
We still need to know a lot more about the Gannon/Guckert story. A lot.
