Phony War Heroes Against Rush

Michelle Malkin has some vewy intewesting information about Senator Tom Harkin.

Harkin is one of the Democrats bashing Rush Limbaugh in the phony "phony soldiers" controversy:

"Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was just high on his drugs again. I don’t know whether he was or not. If so, he ought to let us know. But that shouldn’t be an excuse."

Well, some of those nasty facts from the past that so often get lost in the ever-flowing river of current events have been rediscovered.

Seems Malkin and Instapundit have some documentation about Harkin's claims to have flown combat air patrols and photo recon missions over Vietnam. Only one problem: there's no documented proof of that in his military records, and later he changed the story, admitting he was a Vietnam era veteran, not a Vietnam veteran.

Now Harkin obviously isn't a "phony soldier," since he was in fact a genuine military member who served on active duty (and made it out of basic training). But it seems there might be a little something phony about some of the claims he's made about his service.

Hmmmm...
