    The Not So Secret Secret Is Not So Secret Any More

    Rep. Mark Kirk, R-In The Navy, candidate for Obama’s former Senate seat (Roland Burris who???) has been outed. Not only did he over-inflate his military service and awards, as a Navy Reservist he voted against repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
