Clinton's 'landing under sniper fire,' a 'misstatement'

It figures that Clinton would lie. That is what most of her campaign has relied upon ... lies or exaggerations. She takes big money from lobbyists and then claims to be the spokesperson for the working person. She has yet to be called to task for her association with Peter Paul.
Her so called "foreign policy experience" comes from one trip to Bosnia with her daughter and being married to the president for 8 years. Hardly anything that calls for this country's support as a real president .. you know .. the kind that actually has to get the job done.

Hmmm, a "misspeak?" Then why has she told it on several occasions? How can one misspeak about something like this?

Hill and Bill: They make Bonnie and Clyde look like Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, Rob and Laura Petrie, Cliff and Claire Huxtable.

I Misspoke

It was a treacherous night landing. Ice had formed on both of our wings, and as I looked out the port window, I could see it breaking into shards, flying off into the night sky with each near barrel roll of our C-50, highlighted by the flares shooting past on either side of the cabin, turning them into falling prisms of wildly careening light.

As the cabin lurched back and forth and the sounds of rocket fire percussed the urgent, faltering rhythm of our right engine, I unfastened my seat belt, and, finding my center of gravity, rose from my seat, moving past aides shock still in their chairs, arms locked like girders against their arm rests in terror, and walked up the center aisle to the pilot's cabin.

"How long to Kosovo"? I shouted over the screaming whine of the altimeter's alarm, marking our steep descent. The pilot turned, looked at me in shocked recognition--"How...how did you make it up here? No one has ever walked up here in these conditions before! How..."

"Never mind that!" I barked, with what I hoped was a not too stern forcefulness, combined with sufficient steel and empathy to create the appearance of a firm imperturbability. "Check the master FMC! Is it working or has it failed?"

The pilot, paused, as if in amazement at my readiness, and then himself awakening to crisis, looked to the Control Display Unit . "It's down! It's down!" he shouted. A bead of sweat began to form on his brow.

I knew what I had to do. "Get out of there!" I commanded, and pulled him from the seat, from where he crumbled to a fetal position on the floor behind me. Stepping over him, I took the chair behind the console.

"Check the Central Maintenance Computers and activate the NAV RAD for alternate radio tuning capability!" I shouted to the co-pilot. He, too, had broken down in tears, his head buried in his hands. I looked to his ID on the console. Another newbie.

Well, this was another one where I would have to go it alone.

Quickly, I tore the scarf from my neck and fashioned it into a crude lasso that could be used for EFIS/EICIS control. Catching the lever with my right hand, I activated the cabin loudspeaker with my left. I knew that the passengers had likely been gulled by the earlier soft patter of the pilot. "Brace yourself! Get ready! These aren't just words!" Then I pulled the lever back hard, sending us rocketing towards the runway.

"You'll never make it!" I knew that voice, and turned. Richardson! How did he trundle up to the cabin? "Out of here, Judas! And take that quivering beard with you!"

I could feel bolts straining against Pennsylvania steel as I pushed the '50 down, down, down to the ground below us. Suddenly, an explosion punctuated the sky--Hand held rocket fire at 3' o'clock!

I quickly performed the evasive maneuvers that I had learned for so long, and so well. My face became angry, then sad, then gentle, then intensely serious, then was finally rocked by a powerful squealing, an unnatural burst of laughter. That did it! The rocket exploded harmlessly behind us.

Now. Now it was time to take the stick and bring this shaking, careening flight, parts straining against themselves until nearly ready to burst, down to the ground. I put my arms to the twin arms of the FO-AP, set the APC, and with all of the strength remaining in me, began to push the levers down. Straining, I pushed harder. And harder. I could see the runway rising before us in the glare shield. I would have to find the remaining strength to bring it down.

Finally, as if a burst of superhuman might had been somehow delegated to me, I pushed the levers into locked position. I could hear Penn in the cabin shouting "We're landing...We're going down!" as I felt the rough shock of the landing gear snapping into place.

Sparks flew as we hit the runway, bullets ricocheting off of the cabin, one wheel touching pavement. I looked straight through the windshield--the militia, arms at the ready stood at the runway's end. The last obstacle.

I turned the craft hard, sending it hurtling sideways across the pavement. It swept the militia away in a single screaming motion that combined with the screaming that arose from the cabin, as we continued to move towards the small, makeshift terminal, where the dignitaries, negotiators, and heads of state awaited for my arrival.

I did not close my eyes. I did not let go of the wheel. I watched--as we ground to a halt just before the doors of the terminal.

I looked fore, at the dignitaries protecting themselves from the sniper fire that raged around them. I looked aft, at the passengers, shaken but safe.

We had arrived. All was good.

Just a moment...

Due to the discovery of a video of the above described occasion, I would like to make few small corrections. The flight was in fact actually a regularly scheduled chartered flight that was actually flown by the pilot and co-pilot--although the pilot did have a cold, and during the flight, I did at several times give serious attention to our flight conditions (notes indicate that I found it "a bit bumpy"). I would also note that the dinner, Salmon with Creamed Potatoes, was undercooked, and was served with a Riesling that was unusually dry. It is also true that we were met not by a militia, but by a girl's youth soccer team. However, it was necessary for me to dodge a soccer ball as team members demonstrated their often aggressive skills. No other shots were fired.

In short: I misspoke."

She is a liar.

I love this.

What a pathetic fraud Clinton is.

"Misseaking" apparently is one of her best-honed skills.

A mere slight of the tongue...shall we say...an embellishment.

Typical Clinton...Billary,Yeah right!! you'll be ready from day one

"Misstatement" ?
"Misspoke" ? What about the words "lie, deceive, or delude" ? She is caught in an outright lie and once again minimizes it. Lying comes way too easy for her, it's amazing.

You did not challenge the misstatement spin, in that she directly called Sinbad just "a comedian" so we could be led to believe that his true account of the peaceful landing as false. The attempt to discredit Sinbad is not a "misstatement" it is a concious decesion, a deliberate action. Sinbad is owed an apology.

While some politicians were free basing in Chicago others were vacationing in Bosnia.
Hillary should show us all the Serbian Souvenirs.

What is the difference between "misspoke" and lying?

Camp Clinton’s response, courtesy of Wolfson on Monday: “This is something that the Obama campaign wants to push 'cause they have nothing positive to say about their candidate.’’

-Jeez, you idiot there is no need.. her "idiotic" actions speak for themselves... god was a dimwit...

Don't forget Sinbad's questioning of Hillary's story- "It was too dangerous for the President of the United States, so he sent the First Lady, and oh yeah, a guitar player and a comedian?"

Reminds me of "I did not have sex with that woman"

What a family of liars....
With the Clintons they can't keep their lies stright....

Let's be sure to put them back in office.... So we can get 4 more years of BS

Hillary caught lying again.

What a surprise. Anyone remember her "white lie" about being named after famed mountain climber, Sir Edmund Hillary?

Isn't she too young to have a senior moment? Even at 68 my mom doesnt "remember" things at such vivid detail to later say she misspoke :P

I've never been under sniper fire, forced to run with my head down with the risk of being killed (with my daughter) at any moment.

But, if I was, I bet I'd clearly remember it and have no problem describing it accurately.

This was no "misstatement" but rather an exaggeration worthy of James Frey. "A Million Little Foreign Credentials"

MISSPOKE? Get real. She LIED. Or, if you really want to be kind: she made it up.

Misstatement? I guess it's safe to say we have just discovered what Day 2 will be like.

No, Clinton lied. It come directly out of the Clinton Playbook referenced by Chapter 4 entitled "It depends on what your definition of is is". She said this on 3/17 and had plenty of time to retract the statement. She didn't, even after Sinbad (of all people, among other) verified the fraud. She waited until video surfaced then did her little mea culpa. I'm beginning to think that even if the phone doesn't ring at 3am, she'll claim it did and tell us all how she saved the world.

Her "misspoke" is a lot like Roger Clemmen's "misheard". Both plausible but hardly believable.

Obama should point out that Clinton's war against the Serbs is one of the more shameful acts of his administration. Why he took Bosnia away from Jugoslavia and gave it to Albania perhaps Hellory can answer given her "experience."

Hillery remembers Obama's minister in Bosnia taking shots at her and other typical whites. I love this election year!

Where is Hillary's security force around her. Where is her Helmet and Flak Jacket. If there were any reports of any hostile fire in the area, she would not have been allowed to walk around like that. If you look at the video, you will see news personnel walking behind her, and one of them is even pushing a long microphone boom along at a slow pace behind the Clintons.

This was a deliberate Fairy Tale being told to convince people that Hillary is cool under fire, and that she would be remain cool when her imaginary Red Phone rings.

Hillary Rambo Clinton has passed the Imaginary Brave Deeds Threshold for Commander In Chief.

Perhaps I am slow. But I thought that when you mispoke it was an innoncent incorrect statement. How does telling the same thing twice in a two week period of time be misspeaking. Sound like an out and out lie to me. One backed up with video tape and sound. Then when she gets caught her camp trys to spin it to be the Obama campaign pushiing the story.
Well they don't have to, when you get caught with your pants down and your behind out, there is no spin you can put on it to change the fact. YOU LIED!!!

A "misstatement" in response to a 3AM telephone call does not make me confindent that our nation can rely on her judgment at a critical time. And isn't a deliberate lie that is contrary to claims of "experience" a foolishly reckless "miscalculation" of judgment?

If a political candidate will lie to "get" elected he/she will certainly have no qualms about lying to "stay" elected.

In a moment of crisis, Bill Clinton looked directly into the camera and, without blinking an eye, told the American people he "did not have sex with that woman." We've just seen that Hillary Clinton reacts to crisis in the same way her husband does.

I wonder why no one has pointed out that the trip was "too dangerous" for Bill Clinton to go on but not dangerous enough for Hillary to take Chelsea along. Surely, she remembers that Chelsea was with her and wouldn't have chosen to take her daughter into such a risky environment. Come on. Not a mistatement at all.

Al Gore also mispoke when he said that he 'INVENTED the INTERNET'.

I guess this makes Hillary 'battled hardened' dodging the bullets from snipers and fighting the VAST right wing conspiracy.
It also might mean she is delusional.

A Clinton caught lying!!!???
I can't believe it!
What is happening to Our Great Leader of Inevidentability?
I'm sure this story is just another in a long line of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Theories!
Will they never end?

misspoke? when my children misspeak they get in trouble and perhaps grounded.

Clinton is a consumate liar.

Hillary is trying to act like she has more experience than Barack and that she is more ready to be president. Her campaign rhetoric and lies will likely keep me from ever voting for her. I think she would throw her own mother under a bus to win the presidency. I can live without her ego and condescending tone on the campaign trail. She is losing people that would have voted for her even if they held their noses while doing it.

my favorite saying is "If you never lie you don't have to remember what you said"!

Hillary's is more like "if you lie all the time the truth doesn't exist"!

It's a good thing there was video.

ABC (Anybody But Clinton[s])

"I wrote about a lot of this in my book"...

If you want a fun read on Clinton, look into how she refused to credit her ghostwriter on "It Takes a Village", Barbara Feinman. It was later stated that she has an outright "refusal, so far, to share credit with any writer who helps on her book".

Misspoke? Misstatement? Sounds like she didn't use any of the right words in any of the right places. Kind of like lying.

Well, waddayaknow, Clinton is a liar. Huge surprise there. Supports NAFTA. Supports endless occupation in Iraq. Almost as bad as Panderbear himself.

So whats unusual about this story, it runs in the Dem. family. Mr. Obama has stated that when he was at Columbia the school was getting tired of cleaning the word n-----s that was always scribbled on the walls. When his roomate was asked about it, he responded he never saw any evidence of that, and he's now a liberal lawyer living in Cambridge...once again the bigot Obama gets a pass fron the liberal media on the matter.

Now we ALL know that the PRESIDENT'S WIFE is not going to be placed in harms way. And I am watching to see if the same people that were all over Dr. Wright - for an out of context snippet, are going to come after her. Its nothing more than a bold faced lie designed to decieve people into believing she was a true diplomat/ambassador/under fire...her and sinbad! You believe that and you also believe that "willie" wasn't having sex with Monica. Ladies, is that what you REALLY want? Do you want the lying, crying, eyeing Clintons??

anyone who doesnt know what is meant by "mispoken" it means she lied....again.....lie lie lie .....i cant ell who lies more clintons, or bho....

I was under harrassing fire by a sniper once. It was a while ago. Still, I have never confused it, in my memory, with a delegation of school-children.

Let's be fair to Sen. Clinton, though. Haven't we all, during a job interview, exaggerated our level of experience and qualifications, maybe just a bit?

Misspoke? I can only imagine if one of my kids "misspoke" like that.

The video tape does not lie, but Clinton's speechwriters sure do, and since Ol' Hill was there and should have known what was coming out her mouth was not true, so did she.

Snipers my butt. . . .

Don't you think, no matter how many trips you made, you would vividly remember if someone was shooting at you when you landed?Especially when you had your daughter with you. What's next? - an account of how she shared a cell with McCain at the Hanoi Hilton? This woman should not be alowed to become our next president. How embarrassing! She should quit now, but as we all know, the Clintons have no shame.

When Hillary "misspoke" about not one fact, but many (i.e., gunshots, receiving line, bulletproof jackets), I call it what it is --lying.

She misspoke??? How about She lied!! What an insult to the troops who were actually under fire in Bosnia. Does she think it's "Cool and Hip" to be under fire? Maybe her campaign should change her slogan to: "Will say anything for a vote".
She claims she speaks millions of words a day? According to a study, the average number of words spoken daily by women is around 20,000. Most of Hillarys words seem to be... "Um, you know..". Those are the words of liars stalling for time to think of other lies to tell.

I guess Bill turned to Monica just for the silence!

Instead of millions of words daily, how about you just shut the F*** UP and go away.

wow...the media is so biased against Clinton. Just be fair

Why are we still trying to nominate her? She lies at every chance she gets and is an embarrasment to our party. Please, end the madness.

It's all a matter of what "is" is. Is she is or is she isn't a liar?
Say or do anything to get elected is her motto!

Once again, Hillary proves that she will say anything to get elected. Remember how she "had always been a Yankee fan" when she was running for NY Senator? And you chumps in NY bought it. If she's elected, it will be on a pack of lies just like Dumbya.

Serpentine Shel! Serpentine!

Just another example of how this pathetic excuse for a human being will do or say anything to regain the power of the Presidency. I'm sure in her mind, she remembers running off the plane carrying a .50 cal, wearing a Rambo-esque headband (tastefully coordinated with her jacket, of course) and blasting her way to the sanctuary of her 5 star accommodations.

Finally the U.S. and the media are questioning Hillary's "experience"! Sure she may have experienced these things, which she was able to do because she was married to the President at the time and not because she was an elected official. She never had an "executive" roll or leadership roll in any of these "experiences" she claims, but she did have onlookers roll. I personally would not be promoting that as a selling point for my campaign, but the Clintons are great at spinning the truth to bloat their actual status or footprint on America.

Yep, this is the biggest difference between HRC and Obama, she lies, and lies, and lies, and gets caught *most* of the times, and Obama has yet to be caught in a direct lie. I'm not saying he hasn't stretched things a time or two, but complete lies?? Post them hear if you have any evidence to support them! Otherwise, my vote in Nov. goes for Obama.

freaking hillary-ous

Is there anything this woman won't lie about?

politics as usual.

Hillary did not "misspeak" when she made this statement, she was giving it from a written speech in front of campaign supporters. It was clearly used to embellish her resume, or in other words..A LIE! Since she still refuses to release all of the documents covering her White House days, what else is she lying about? The Clintons are so adept at lying, one has to wonder if they have ever told the truth!!

Sorry, Hillary. A lie is a lie.

Call it "misspeak".

Call it "exaggeration", as Obama did in his politically correct way.

If it not the truth, it is a lie. We do not need another LIAR in the White House.

Among our candidates, is there an honest, e.g. non-misspeaking, non-exaggerating, contender?

I'm absolutely positive that the Billary 'kool-aid' drinkers can come up with some sort of cover for this one.

I'm waiting - this should be good

The choice of words is pretty bad. She didn't 'misspeak'.

SHE LIED.

The whole resume of Hillary Clinton is based on a collection of lies. Starting from singlehandedly brining peace to N Ireland, to Bosnia.

This isn't quite as ridiculous as her claim that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary (she wasn't), but it reveals her anabashed compulsion to paint herself in a positive light no matter what. I suppose being married to a charming, if pathological "truth-bender" has something to do with her tainted charater, but ol' "Hills" should remember one key difference: Hubby pres Bill gets away with it because he is warm and charismatic. She, on the other hand, has about as much charm and warmth as a pit viper. For someone so smart, she is making some incredibly stupid mistakes lately.

As her papers proved, her vast experience consists of tea and finger sandwiches with many foreign dignitaries. I guess she realized that just being a "Clinton" does not entitle you to the keys to the White House. You still have to make your sales pitch to the people. Just do not lie about it, Hill....

her memoirs is really fiction. See this ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when the truth is not documented. Fortunate for us video footage recounts the actual events.

I wonder what else she embellishes.

Hillary is ready to be a phony on Day One. If you ever stopped off a plane in the middle of "sniper fire", I doubt you would forget that experience. David Geffen was right. The Clintons are professional liars. America beware. We have seen this nonsense before. Lets not go there again.

I am so disappointed that Clinton would "misspeak" about something so memorable. I wish we could find another event when this could have happened. I'm hoping she remembers that she was nervous because it was supposed to be more ceremonial but there were threats. This misstep by Clinton could cause this Clinton backer to back Obama.

Hillary Clinton - Ready to Lie on Day One.

Clintonista Kool-Aid on sale now from www.HillBillyHooch.com or from your local neighborhood sniper.

Wow, is anyone who has been paying attention really that surprised that she has been stretching her experience? Not that she isn't fairly accomplished, but the whole "Ready from day one" hokum has never been true. And is it really any more impressive than Obama's CV, which includes community organizing, legal scholarship, and a respectable stint in state government.

Yeah, it was always puffery and she was bound to get called on it sooner or later.

I just love the way that "misstatement" is political speak for "blatant lie".

Hillary campaign speech '08...

"I can win this nomination and go on to win the Presidency for the Democrats!!"

Ooops...another misstatement by little Miss Statement herself.

Hi,

Try this for a foreign policy patttern. The time when Hillary was in Bhutan I believe, and she claimed that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Problem being that he ascended Mt. Everest in 1953 when "Hillary" was six years old!!! She tried to explain that away too. How would Howard Wolfson explain that one? BTW does the Swamp ever do research into patterns? Or are you stuck with daily talking points like FOX, CNN et.al.? It would be so easy in Hillary's case. You know, FileGate, TravelGate, missing Whitewater records etc.

Well, there she goes again revising history to gain an upper hand.
How brazen of her to think the media would not follow up on this ridiculous claim. Just another example of her willingness to say anything or tell any lie to get the nomination. Wake up Pennsylvania and America.

Here we go again, does any of this matters to people without health insurance, or people that died in wars? It may be better for the media to stick to important issues, not the news junk that bumps up ratings.

You have got to be kidding me. A slight misspeak on Hillary's memory lapse. How does this compare to the lies obama told about not having heard about his ministers rascist comments. You people will grasp at anything and fervently cling to a non-issue when it comes to Hillary. But obama's out and out lie about his minister is all but forgotten. Is this a double standard because she is a woman? Or let's give him the benefit of the doubt because he is a black male?

The Clintons lie about everything their finances, investments, relationships with interns, Chinese contributors, Dick Morris, their marriage, the library and who has contributed, how they make their money, their church attendance...come to think of it of what do they not lie?

No doubt, Hil blew this one big time.

If Obama was the candidate he's trying to portray, his campaign would have simply responded, "The story speaks for itself". That's how you "stay above it all". When you take every chance to pound your opponents (like when McCain switched shia and sunni), you're the same as they are. I'm OK with that as long as he stops trying to bill himself as being "above it all". He's not, he's just another politician and we need to get beyond the speeches and hear his concrete plans for the country.

NO one should trust "BILLARY" Clinton!

Obama first said he never heard Wright make those comments, then 3 days later said he did. She lies, but so does he.

"MISSTATEMENT"?

Try "BALD-FACED LIED THROUGH YOUR TEETH" to the American public, Hillary!

This is just what you can expect from the Clintons and their filthy rotten ilk.

Bosnia, Wright, need I say more.

Hmmmm a "misstatement" We call 'em "pork pies"...guess what that rhymes with. She's been telling big old porkies again and "you know"keeps getting "you know" caught doing it. Wake up everyone-

The Bosnian death toll of 100000 people is an enormous tragedy, but still it is not the same as the widely accepted figure of 200000.
Hillary went to Bosnia for Souvenirs.

This is one of many dumb issues in the campaign, but her explanation is totally bogus. Of course, she flew over many countries and says millions of words. But how often was she flying into sniper fire? Seems like that would be pretty memorable--or, as Roger Clemens might say, "misrememorable".

Posted by: RFB-IL | March 25, 2008 10:44 AM

RFB, seriously how is this less an "out and out lie" in your opinion? She said certain, very specific, very memorable things happened. They did not.

A slight mis-speak is Saying "there were two little girls handing me flowers on the tarmac" when there was only one.

HRC told an out and out lie, and got caught.

Sen. Clinton speaks millions words a day? That's not even anywhere near reality. Talk about misspeaking. Assuming she only spoke one million words (not millions) and she only need 4 hours of sleep a day, that means she is talking at an uninterrupted constant rate of 13 words a second from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. Amazing! No wonder she can dodge sniper bullets while running across a tarmac and talking to teachers at the same time.

Hillary and Bill are a perfectly matched set! They can both lie while looking you directly in the eye and they fully expect you to be dumb enough to believe it.

Wake up Hillary supporters! Do you really want to look in the dictionary a year from now and see *your* picture next to the word Gullible?

Snap out of it and don't believe Hillary the accomplished, experienced, professional Liar!

WHO CARES!!! You people need to get lives. As if whether sniper firing did or did not take place matters. There are more serious concerns the "land of the free" are facing. LET IT GO!!

"A slight misspeak..."

Is that you James Carville?

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

Come on, Hillary made an honest mistake!

Given the number of times she's come under sniper fire it's easy to see how she could get this one confused with another!

It was a simple, honest mistake...really!

How can Democrats believe that either of their candidates is capable of beating John McCain in November? Bush won a second term despite being hated by everybody. McCain doesn't have to exaggerate his experiences to sound like a hero. He is a hero, and we all know it.

RFB-IL,

Are you kidding? A slight misspeak? A memory lapse? How would someone, anyone, who has not been in a combat situation regularly, not remember correctly being shot at by snipers? You don't confuse things like that with the way it happened on video. This is hardly a non-issue. She LIED. It's as simple as that. If you have the video of Obama sitting in church listening to Wright's racist sermons, go ahead and provide it to the approapriate parties so we can all see it. Clinton will do anything, say anything to become president. I would have been happy to have Clinton or Obama as president, but now I can't stand the thought of voting for her. this lie is the final straw. Ridiculous.

A "misstatement" even though it was from prepared remarks and she kept repeating them, even after Sinbad said she was lying, up until confronted with the truth.

She LIED.

And it was such a stupid lie, too. Would anyone be foolish enough to think the First Lady would be allowed into a war zone, and with her ONLY CHILD?

Words don't matter to Hillary remember?

Hillary will say ANYTHING just to get elected.

Just tell her what you want to hear, and she will say it.

Is it any different that embellishing a resume? Others have lost jobs for lies.

So does this mean when she picks up the phone at 3am she'll lie to whoever is on the other end?

"Obama first said he never heard Wright make those comments, then 3 days later said he did. She lies, but so does he."

Posted by: KD | March 25, 2008 10:46 AM

He actually didn't say that. Try actually listening to what he says. He said he heard Wright say "controversial" things. That doesn't mean the particular comments that have been looping. It also doesn't mean they were racist or anti-American. Try to see past the smear, if you can, if you want to.

If you look closely at the photo,
that little girl has an UZI under her coat.

McCain doesn't have to exaggerate his experiences to sound like a hero. He is a hero, and we all know it.

Posted by: Tracy | March 25, 2008 11:05 AM

I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a President. Are you looking for a military "hero" who admits he knows little about the economy, and is pledged to continue the failed foriegn adventures of the previous administration? Or are you looking for someone who can admit that many of our national policies, both foriegn and domestic, are on the wrong track, and has plans on how to get us moving in a better direction?

RFB-IL, Obama did not lie about anything-- he said only that he did not hear the specific sermons which are being played non-stop in the media. His travel records confirm that he was in DC at the time of each of these 3 sermons. During his speech, he was simply acknowledging that he had heard some controversial sermons by Wright during the 20 years he had known him, but nothing as extreme as the clips we are seeing. Since all of Wright's sermons are on tape and the videos show the members of the congregation, don't you think the media--or at least the Clinton campaign-- have been looking feverishly for clips of inflammatory sermons on dates that Obama can be confirmed to have been in the audience? Trust me, if those clips existed we would have already seen them.

Hillary, however, flat out lied about her experience in Bosnia. "Misspeaking" is accidentally misquoting someone or citing incorrect information-- she told an elaborate story which simply isn't true. Have you really every heard of someone doing that by accident?

Bush won a second term despite being hated by everybody. McCain doesn't have to exaggerate his experiences to sound like a hero. He is a hero, and we all know it.

No, McCain just lies through his teeth repeatedly to justify starting another war.

"Well, it’s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran. That’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.”

How heroic.

did President Bill give her a medal for heroism?

Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar..Liar!!!

Senator Hilary Rodham LIAR Clinton!!!!

HA HA HA!! How do you do, President McCain? It's over, folks.

Apparently, people in the clinton camp beleive two wrongs do make a right!

Hillary was on vacation in Bosnia. Obama wants the 200,000 skeletons as souvenirs.

Sen. Clinton speaks millions words a day? That's not even anywhere near reality. Talk about misspeaking. Assuming she only spoke one million words (not millions) and she only need 4 hours of sleep a day, that means she is talking at an uninterrupted constant rate of 13 words a second from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. Amazing! No wonder she can dodge sniper bullets while running across a tarmac and talking to teachers at the same time.

I guess this is why Hillary's husband liked Monica so much- at least she kept quiet for a "few moments."

This says it all:

Hillary and Bill are a perfectly matched set! They can both lie while looking you directly in the eye and they fully expect you to be dumb enough to believe it.

Wake up Hillary supporters! Do you really want to look in the dictionary a year from now and see *your* picture next to the word Gullible?

Snap out of it and don't believe Hillary the accomplished, experienced, professional Liar!

At a debate last December Mrs. Clinton said her pantsuits were made of asbestos. Guess not. Now they're on fire.

Well, she "mispoke" four times in about as many months so maybe that was why the Washington Post writer gave her Four Pinocchios. Other videos on the same meme are surfacing on the blogs, e.g., AmericaBlog.

I just wonder , if "Mrs. Pinnochio" alias Mrs. First-Rambo-Lady Clinton tells us these kinds of fairytales. What kind of "bedtime-stories" did she tell her daughter Chelsea?

"The Queen and I"
"Sleeping Beauty gets a call at 3 AM"
"Clinton Identity"
"Clinton 007 - License to misspeak"

Looking at my resume I think I would be the right per
