If you scroll down just two days, you'll see my entry regarding the Limousine Liberal, Lizzie Warren of Massachusetts, and her claim to be part Cherokee exposed.
I called her Princess running gag - - little knowing how true that was. And how much truer it was soon to become.
For now - we have even more breaking news, not only was Harvard Professor Warren's GGGGrandmother NOT a Cherokee as her GGGGrandaughter would have us believe --- but even more ironic -- her GGGGrandfather, who served with the Tennessee Mounted Militia - participated in the round up of Cherokee families from their homes in Tennessee to put them in stockades -- from where they would be marched on the infamous "Trail of Tears' to reservations in Oklahoma.
If this isn't a teaching moment for all of those who would 'steal identities' or 'steal valor'... I don't know what would be. A serious lesson to be learned.
A lesson she could have learned from Richard Blumenthal, her Connecticut neighbor whose claims of Vietnam service almost decapitated him (and should have).
