2001 Live(@25YearsAgoLive):David Dewhurst, candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Texas, runs a campaign ad that features a man in uniform standing in front of an American flag. The problem - the man is not wearing a U.S. military uniform, but rather a German Luftwaffe uniform. Doubly-embarassing: Dewhurst’s father is a WWII hero.
