Churchill Found to Suffer from Kerry-Harkin Syndrome
Posted by Dave Blount at February 17, 2005 4:39 PM
A man of many deficiencies, Ward Churchill has been diagnosed as suffering from Kerry-Harkin Syndrome by Dennis the Peasant, who defines this dreaded disease is as follows:
The wholly unwarranted and completely mystifying need to take the only honorable chapter of one's pathetic and useless life and turn it into a grotesque tapestry of lies and half-truths to win public attention, career preferment and political arguments without resorting to the use of the inherent merit of one's own personal worth as a human being.
Unsatisfied with the roles of fake Indian, fake scholar, and fake revolutionary, Churchill has followed in the great tradition of other left-wing phonies by becoming a fake war hero. According to U.S. Army records referenced by the Denver Post, Churchill was trained as a light-truck driver and projectionist during the Vietnam War. But according to the mad professor's Walter Mitty daydreams, he was a paratrooper and part of an elite long-range reconnaissance patrol. He walked point in combat and was called "Chief" by his brothers in arms. So far he has kept mum on whether he helped Hanoi John Kerry deliver weapons to the Khmer Rouge.
"I was on the ground pulling triggers," Churchill fibbed. "You can't undo that. And I have an obligation to do what I can by way of compensation. You can say that is the foundational reason that I do most all of what I do."
So the foundational reason for Churchill's revolting behavior is a fantasy. We'll have to leave it for psychiatrists to figure out the foundational reason for the fantasy.
Meanwhile, Colorado taxpayers are still contributing to his hefty salary, and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is still planning to welcome him with open arms.
