Joe Scarborough Has Been Lying For Mark Kirk For Years

Joe Scarborough has been wailing and failing for 2 weeks about Connecticut Attorney General

Richard Blumenthal

misstated his service During Viet Nam, yet has remained silent about his buddy Mark Kirk (R) IL

Appearing on the now-defunct MSNBC show Scarborough Country in August 2003, Kirk, a decorated intelligence officer, put it this way "I think I'm the only member of Congress that served on active duty during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and serving with my comrades in arms, both reserve and active duty, we are not in it for the money."

That left the host, former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL) -- who briefly overlapped with Kirk in the House GOP caucus in 2001 -- with the wrong impression. "I want to ask you, if you'll keep coming back on Scarborough Country as a man who not only serves Americans in Congress, but also who served Americans overseas in Operation Iraqi Freedom," Scarborough said, closing out the segment uncorrected.
