If true... what a dirtbag

NBC's summer talent show "America's Got Talent" looked like it had found a new star this week in country singer Tim Poe, who came to the stage with a heart-tugging story: He's an Afghanistan war veteran who was injured by a rocket-propelled grenade, suffering brain damage and developing a stutter that he can only suppress while singing. But his tale might be too good to be true. Reports are now surfacing that Poe may have fabricated the whole story.

Reality TV blog Rickey.org first reported that the military records didn't match Poe's story. Poe served with the Minnesota National Guard for nine years (not 14, as he said) as a supply specialist, and they can't find any evidence of the injury he describes. "Sgt. Poe's official military records do not indicate that he was injured by a grenade in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2009, as he reports," the Minnesota National Guard said in a statement.

Wow, what a shitbag if that turns out to be true. This toolbag and others gotta know that if you spew your bullshit lies, especially on national television, it's gonna be found out.

It will be interesting to see how the show handles this. If this turns out to be a deception I hope they out him during the show. If he fabricated this story it will give him attention, but not the kind he(or his wife)was seeking.

I think these dudes live the lie long enough and get to the point they actually believe the story themselves. There ought to be some repercussion for these douches....I vote a couple months of boot camp.

I don't understand how people can say this kind of crap and think they will get away with it.

If true, his family had to be thinking WTF is this idiot doing?
