Forget...? Forget...? Please....


We’re pretty certain that Hillary may have felt she kinda fell out of the public eye with all the attention being paid to Barack Obama and his FORMER! Pastor so imagine her relief when the press started picking up on some calendar inconsistencies with respect to where she claims to have been during "crisis moments" in the Clinton, Bill presidency versus where she actually was. Story here. This would supposedly refute the "experience"
meme that has been the cornerstone of her campaign.

And remember that claim a few months ago regarding that visit to Bosnia back in '98, the evasive landing, the withering crossfire from
the hills, the mad dash across the tarmac and (gasp) the lack of a reception
committee? Well, she trotted out that “experience” again last week only for her campaign to claim later on that she misspoke. Check out video here for dramatic footage of the action.

This is the sort of thing that drives B-Daddy nearly insane about the Clintons. What was there really to be gained by exaggerating the details of this trip against what was surely to be lost by merely rummaging around some local affiliate news archives? Damn internet. It appears to be yet one more example of the pathological nature shared by these two… this compulsive nature to lie just for lying’s sake. Go back to the video and look at her mannerisms and listen to her tone when she talks about that trip. Its so matter-of-fact, the delivery so natural - Its frightening.

Look. We all know politicians, ahem, exaggerate... but the manner in which it is so effortlessly executed by the Clintons makes us want to take a shower after checking for our wallet.

Dean,
Thank you, thank you for linking to the dramatic footage. It stands on its own. Just one more example of how where their lust for power takes the Clintons. This is why I don't want her to be the nominee, even though Obama is the more difficult candidate for John McCain. I fear for our liberties because of her "Terminator" personality.

I saw more violence and action leaving some of the bars I frequented in my twenties.

T-Lilly, you seem, then, to have the experience we are looking for in our CinC. I too, slogged through many a Friday and Saturday night along Garnet and wondered aloud who would answer that 3 A.M. phone call: "Duuuude, can we get a ride home...?, but first we need some tacos..."

B-Daddy, I knew this latest episode would send you right back to Malaiseya.

What is the civilian term for a PX hero? (Buying medals at the PX or getting them through political favor)

I'm not sure which is scarier, the lust for power and her personality, or having a candidate being so close to achieving the presidency be so blatantly stupid as to say such a thing.

To her credit, it certainly gives me pause now to believe any of the Clinton conspiracies that have come out over the years. She's just not clever enough to pull off a cover-up.
