The Republican candidate for President Obama's old Senate seat has admitted to inaccurately claiming he received the U.S. Navy's Intelligence Officer of the Year award for his service during NATO's conflict with Serbia in the late 1990s.

Rep. Mark Kirk, a Navy reservist who was elected to Congress in 2001, acknowledged the error in his official biography after The Washington Post began looking into whether he had received the prestigious award, which is given by top Navy officials to a single individual annually.

The Post's inquiries were sparked by complaints from a representative of state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, Kirk's Democratic opponent in the Illinois Senate race.

In this reality, he lied, in the alternate Conservative Universe, he is a victim of a Democratic smear.
 
While we heard several days of Blumenthal, I doubt this will get coverage besides a few A17 stories.
 
Helloooooo, Illinois.

What part of dirty, graft ridden, corrupt, liars for politicians from Illinois aren't people getting?

We are talking about Illinois politics. Si'?

as opposed to politics anywhere else?

:lol:

None of us are surprised that there is MORE corruption coming from IL. I don't care who it is. But of course, you conveniently picked the Republican candidate to focus on. Of which none of us are surprised either.

DUH! Should we change his party affiliation now that he has been found out? We can't help if he is a Republican.
