Harkin
Tom Harkin, who in my opinion is one chromosome above pond scum, recently called Dick Cheney a coward for not serving in VietNam.
Fox News is reporting that Harkin himself lied about his service in Vietnam, once telling wild tales of engaging Migs over Hanoi, when in fact he never flew in combat.
According to the book Stolen Valor, it does appear that Fox News is correct. Harkin is a f--king liar:

"Politicians historically have delighted in memorializing themselves in concrete. For distinguished public servants the practice can be deserved. Neither Specter nor Harkin, however, can be considered more notable than other distinguished solons who repeatedly convince voters to let them stay on Capitol Hill (though Harkin in his earlier political campaigns was notable, if that's the word, for claiming to have flown combat missions in Vietnam and then having to admit that he had not, as recorded in the book Stolen Valor, by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley)."
That would seem to make him less credible than the Swift Boat Veterans he wishes to silence...
Pond scum like him should be hung from the highest veterans monument in the US by the neck until dead.
