Today, it was revealed that Arizona Governor Jan "Give Me Your Papers, Señor" Brewer claimed her father died fighting the Nazis in WWII. Some chronological and factual details help us to understand this:
1) Gov. Brewer knew her father until his death when she was 11.
2) Gov. Brewer was born September 26, 1944.
3) The Armistice in Europe was signed when Gov. Brewer was about 7 months old.
4) Her father died of lung disease.
5) He developed lung disease while working as a civilian at an ammunition factory.
She probably also remembers the good ol' days when her father would pick her up from elementary school in his conestoga wagon and drive her to see President-elect Benjamin Harrison fight the evil Visigoths as they tried to invade the Incan Empire.
In related news, CT Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was wounded in Operation Desert Storm this week, and today Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) was KIA fighting in the Battle of Anteitam.
