Stuff I really did not know ...

I did not know that triple amputee, and current nincompoop, and former U.S Senator  Max Cleland never received a Purple Heart for combat wounds suffered in Viet Nam.  And -- was not "as Al Hunt claimed -- on a reconnaissance mission, and he was not in the battle of Khe Sanh, as many others have implied."  I'm actually rather amazed at this stuff.

Ann gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'd heard years ago that he was playing around with it and accidentally pulled the pin. Ann raises the possibility it was someone else's grenade.

Oh, great. Now it's Ann Coulter's slim, freshly-waxed ankles...

Slim, freshly waxed ankles? Hmmmm... but I liked the wine glass photo... anyone see that one?


I, for one, cannot imagine the phrase, "slim, freshly waxed" applying to that old Sea Hag, Molly Ivins.

Yes, who knew? Most likely he was carrying them like the pogue he was, and accidentally dislodged the pin. It's pretty fucking hard to pull the pin out of a hand grenade.
