CALLING A SOLDIER A "TWO-BIT SECURITY GUARD"? That's pretty lame. But hey, maybe he can get a job in journalism once the election's over.

Or, of course, Think Progress could just be wrong again. But Don Surber comments: "The guard might not have been a U.S. soldier. So what? The guy is willing to take one for you. Appreciate it."

Meanwhile, Tom Maguire has much more.

UPDATE: Oops: "ThinkProgress has now updated its post to note their apparent error regarding the security guard. But there is still no acknowledgement that the video they have posted was selectively edited to remove the self-deprecating context. BTW, for those not clicking the links, Amanda’s two sources for this story were: (1) McHenry’s opponent; and (2) a website quoting the press release from McHenry’s opponent."

Ouch.
