Biography Buffing from the Quasi-Right

Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. At first I thought this was one of those "eh, no big deal" things. But now I'm not so sure. Like John Kerry, Ahnuld has crafted a political identity largely out of his biography. Whereas Kerry's career has been built on his time in Cambodia Viet Nam, Schwarzenegger's has been built on his childhood experience of socialism and his rise from penniless immigrant to international superstar through the blessings of the free market. And, like Kerry's, it turns out Ahnuld's story may be at least somewhat exaggerated. Specifically, it's unlikely that Schwarzenegger, who grew up in the British Sector of occupied Austria, personally saw Soviet tanks and soldiers as a child, as he claimed at the GOP convention.
