"I did not lie ... I may have misspoken" Democrat Richard Blumenthal

Connecticut's attorney general - the likely Democratic Party nominee for Senate - lied about serving in Vietnam, it was reported Monday. Although he portrayed himself as a Vietnam vet for years , Richard Blumenthal - whom Democrats have been counting on to retain the seat held for 30 years by Christopher Dodd - got at least five deferments from 1965 to 1970, according to The New York Times. With his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, virtually guaranteeing he would remain stateside.
