but there was a fellow who shared the stage with me named seth malten. and he graduated from harvard in june of 2001 before 9/11. a dual degree in physics and philosophy. and he used the occasion to announce that he was joining the marines. he came from good old new england liberal stock and his mother told "boston globe" i would have been more disappointed if seth announced he was pursuing a life of crime. there was a woman sitting out over there who said he got up and said seth i'm your mom. do you still believe that what you did was right? and seth said absolutely. seth served four tours in iraq. and he came home and he decided to run for congress up in boston. and i don't know how many of you have seen the movie "spotlight" but the guy who is the hero of spot light made a practice of going through the records of war veterans who ran for office because usually they in many cases they exaggerated their records. so about a month before the election found out that walter robinson was investigating seth malten and there was going to be a story coming out
