What else has Clinton misspoke about?

| March 25, 2008

So caught in a blatant lie, Clinton finally admits that she “misspoke” when she described ducking and dodging snipers’ bullets and mortar shells (Washington Times);

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said she “misspoke” last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996. She later characterized the episode as a “misstatement” and a “minor blip.”

The Obama campaign suggested the statement was a deliberate exaggeration by Clinton, who often cites the goodwill trip with her daughter and several celebrities as an example of her foreign policy experience.

During a speech last Monday on Iraq, she said of the Bosnia trip: “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Just like her husband, who wagged his finger at the American people and announced that he “did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinski, not a single time” until the blue dress surfaced and he was caught cold, Clinton II didn’t come clean until the Washington Post published photos and AP dragged out their video of Clinton on perfectly peaceful airfield receiving flowers from a sweet little girl.

Rational people might ask themselves how many other things has she lied about. How much of her policy plans are completely smoke and mirrors to get into office? How much can we trust her statement about her 35 years of experience. Rational people might ask themselves if they want to spend the next four years wondering about whether we’re getting the truth or just hearing what the pollsters say we want to hear.

American Liberalism is never having to admit you are a lying douchebag.

“Rational people” are not her intended constituency.
Irrational, “Bush Derangement Syndrome” sufferers, as well as those whose racial bias won’t allow a vote for Obama.
That is her intended constituency.

Rationality “gots nuthin’ to do with it.”

She will lie about anything simply to gain the power and the office she most covets.
One can only wonder if she had waited a few years to run for Senate, and done so in Illinois, she might have faced Obama in the primary then, and Jack Ryan/Alan Keyes in the general.
All her present problems would have been nipped in the bud, and her coronation would have been complete!

There is a certain irony about the old carpetbagger!
But little truth.

What kind of trouble would she get us in by denegrating her experience in other countries- in addition to being unsafe, no one came out to meet her- with some governments itching for a reason to be offended and claim disrespect by America?
