I'm not even going to comment on this, as Michele Catalano does far too good a job on it. However, the gist of this is that a leftie anti-war blogger has apparently lied for years about his military experience. He did it to argue his props for his anti-war position. He did it to ridicule those who opposed him. He did it to gain notoriety, coming in the form of mainstream media interviews and the like.
And once found out, blamed everyone else for not figuring it out earlier.
I've decided that this species of human effluvia needs a name: rubberdove sounds about right. What do you think? (via Instapundit)
UPDATE: Greyhawk has a great and (especially under the circumstances) reasoned post about Micah Wright at the always-terrific Mudville Gazette. More also at Jim Treacher's blog. Kurt Vonnegut, who has to be one of the most overrated authors of the twentieth century, reveals his amorality in his response to the revelation that Wright lied about his background:
"The romance of his military background rang a bell with me and made me like him a lot," Vonnegut told us Friday. "You almost want to say, 'So what else is new?' Human beings are terrible liars. I still like what he did. He's a liar, but I still like his pictures."
Vonnegut wrote the introduction to Wright's book of re-worked war propaganda posters. I guess it's all OK as long as you're a lefty, eh, Kurt?
