This stuff just writes itself.

The Governor of Minnesota served with distinction — for over two decades. He was coming up on 50 years of age, when he declined to be deployed to Iraq.

If this is damning… John please remind me: did “Old Bone Spurs” ever serve?! Nope — he dodged the draft (as did John and Paul and Scott).

But hey — young Tangerine was in a reform camp/school as a middle schooler where he had to wear a uniform; and march — in upstate NY – but that’s all. He was an able bodied 20-something when he took six deferrals — never served in Vietnam. But he was no doubt fit.

And yet, Hinderaker thinks a normal retirement from the National Guard at nearly 50, after more than two decades of distinguished service is something to attack the incoming Veep for?! That’s… in a word, astonishing.

Oh — and Tangerine said sleeping with tons of women he met in discos — in the early 70s… was his “Vietnam” danger tour. Utterly… charming. The Green Berets from Minturn, Colorado, from that Vietnam era — would like to catch him in a dark alley… or in broad daylight — and get him sorted right out.]

The clueless idiocy on display tonight betrays a rising fear… a fear that Tangerine has already lost.

Hilarious!
