Clue: if you want to win over PA, or the Cheeseheads, don't pretend you were such a fan that you used the Steelers as fake names to your captives in Vietnam before they had ever even won a superbowl, ESPECIALLY when you already said it was the Green Bay Packers in your book. They may be sports fans but that does not mean they cannot read.


EDIT: Forgot to link in a dkos diary about this. As far as I know Hesiod is the first guy who actually figured this out and broke the story.

1. Oops! Here's a quote:

Beat senseless for days on end for refusing to divulge information or accept early release (which would have given the North Vietnamese a propaganda victory and violated the Navy’s honor code), he would reveal only the names of every player he could remember from the Green Bay Packers. “Resisting, being uncooperative and a general pain in the ass,” he wrote, “proved, as it had in the past, to be a morale booster for me.”

THAT's going to hurt, McMisremember. Your Alzheimer's is showing.

8. Yeah I think

that his remembering problems are kicking in here.

[liberalhistorian]

2. Yeah, but it IS PA, after all.

Which means I wouldn't expect them to get too worked up over it, since he's a repub. Now, if it had been Obama-well, then, how could he have?

Sorry, but I lived too close to PA for too many years not to know how too many in that state really are.

And talk about pandering and flip-flopping! Who's the king of that now, you hypocritical shameless a-hole McSame?

3. oh and remember: he never talks about being a POW

[kevinmc]

4. I knew that was a BS line .. glad you proved it was .... n/t

[InternalDialogue]

5. And since he was taken POW in 1967, that's the Steeler team he'd remember

Not too many of the "Steel Curtain" linemen on that squad.

[TwilightGardener]

6. This calls into question whether he recited ANY football team names

during his captivity. I mean, really--is there any proof beyond his word, or is it just so much sniper fire?

[skids]

7. Or whether he has changed the team in interviews/speeches before...

...depending on who he was trying to pander to. I bet the Olbermann staff are digging through old newsreels as we speak.

11. This was in a movie... I can't remember which one.. they guy being interrogated gave up a bunch of

names and it turned out they were names of players on a baseball or football team. Somebody famous.. maybe Deniro, Tom Cruise, somebody like that. Wish I could remember where I saw this. edit, maybe it wasn't somebody famous, my memory's wreaking havoc here.. but it was in a movie. That much I'm sure of. Though maybe it's a common practice, giving up names like that.)

9. We can expect a geezer gaffe a day from McAncient.

10. I've often thought of becoming a golf club...

Bishop: I'll tell you, son. My main satisfaction is working with young people like yourself at our new Youtheran Center. Why don't you drop by some time?

Danny: I've often thought of entering the priesthood.

Bishop: Oh, are you, uh, Roman-Catholic?


Bishop: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't come.

Lacey: Go for it.

Motormouth: You know, I've often thought about becoming a golf club.

[beac]

12. Next he'll be going after the "youth vote" by claiming that he

used the names of the quidditch players from Harry Potter.

I knew mcnuts was lying when he was giving the interview, what else is he lying about?

[NattPang]

14. Everything,

13. He meant the Green Bay Steelers...you know...the avid sports fan?
