Hillary Might Be Learning
Apr 4, 2008 Political
Hilary Clinton found out the hard way that it is not a good idea to lie about something if there is credible evidence to the contrary. She stated that she went to Bosnia and was under sniper fire and she had to duck her head and run. This story was told several times until CBS aired a video of the trip that contradicts everything Hillary claimed. Despite her assertions that she was tired or that it was her first misstatement in 12 years or that she really was under fire but it was somewhere else (where was that exactly) the fact is she lied and she got caught.
It was reported earlier this week that Hilary Clinton and her First Husband in waiting have had conversations with the super delegates and have told them that Barack Obama cannot win the nomination. Hillary was asked if she had said that to Bill Richardson and she answered by saying that there was a lot of back and forth about who said what and that she did not discuss private conversations. When pressed by a reporter who asked if her answer meant “no” she said it did.
Most people would take that to mean the answer to whether or not she had told Richardson that Obama could not win was no but the Clinton campaign issued a statement later indicating that Hillary meant no to the issue of her discussing private conversations. Hillary, it seems, took the “is that a no” question to mean that she would not discuss private conversations, not that she ever told Richardson Obama could not win.
The conventional thinking is that Hillary (or at least her people) realized that Richardson could say that he was in fact told that by the Clintonistas. Richardson has more credibility than the Clintons and many are happy with him because he endorsed Obama. The last thing that Hillary needed was Richardson calling her a liar a week after she was caught in a whopper of a lie.
It appears as if Hillary is learning from her mistakes. But the sad thing is that Hillary lies so easily that the truth cannot come from her mouth. She lied about snipers and instead of just refusing to answer or perhaps trying something novel like telling the truth, Hillary lied about what was said. It is not good when your people have to explain what you meant to cover a lie. At least she did not defend the lie a million times only to have it bite her in the behind like she did with the Bosnia trip.
Her actions and the ease with which she lies should provide a stark reminder to people of what the Clintons are like and that a second Clinton administration would be no different than the first.

Chelsea is Politician Like her parents (and just as phony)
Mar 25, 2008 Political
Chelsea Clinton was out at an event when someone asked her about the trip to Bosnia and coming under sniper fire. It is not surprising that she agreed with her mother’s account of what happened despite video evidence to the contrary, because she is supporting her mother.
Her phrasing was interesting though and showed that she is a politician like mommy and daddy. She said:
“Well sir, I think that my mother’s on record as having talked about this and I support what she said. I mean, I was there as well and I’m so honored that I was there.”
She did not answer the question directly so no one can actually say that she said it was true but she did agree with what mommy said on the record. She deflects the question but basically agrees without directly saying it was true.
Notice in the video how she says that she was so honored to be there. Look at how she puts her hand over her heart and moves her shoulders in as an “aw shucks” or phony humility pose and says that she was so honored to be there. You could hear people groan when the question was asked (how dare they question a Clintonista) but they all applauded and fawned all over Chelsea when she gave that phony display.
She was very masterful at turning it around and taking the focus off the original question. She learned from the very best con artists in the business and that apple definitely did not fall far from the tree.
I predict that she will run for office one day. The Clintons are like that hot dog you ate three days ago, it keeps coming back on you and it is never pleasant.
UPDATE: No wonder they pimp her out. Read how she handled another tough question.
Despite Campaign Claims Hillary Lied About Bosnia
Mar 24, 2008 Political
The Clinton campaign is in damage control mode because the queen herself has been caught in a big lie. Hillary discusses a trip she and her daughter went on accompanied by Cheryl Crow and Sinbad. She said they were shot at by snipers and that they had to run to awaiting cars. The biggest problem with all this is that it is fabricated. Sinbad recalls no such thing and there is video footage of Chelsea and the queen walking across the tarmac smiling and waving. Hillary lied to people about the experience and her campaign is now saying that she misspoke. Some advisers are saying that it is hard to remember all the details when there have been so many trips and it was so long ago. Bull crap! If you are shot at you will never forget it. If you have to take evasive maneuvers you will never forget it. If your child is in that kind of danger you will never forget it. Hillary Clinton lied and that is the plain truth.
Interestingly, the media is just now picking up on this as if Hillary only said it for the first time. Clinton has been telling this story for some time. Howard Wolfson says that Clinton has told the story many times but misspoke this once. Once again I must say bull crap! I wrote about this in December of last year and Newsday.com had the story which described her harrowing experience. I knew Hillary was lying then just as I know she is lying now.
They will say anything to get elected. Hillary is a liar and she got caught. The thing is, she believes that since she is a Clinton all she has to do is change the story and it will be OK. After all, that is what she and her lying husband did for years. Their supporters are a bunch of mush for brains liberals who do not have the ability to see through them. Most Clinton supporters would stand in line to do to Bill what Monica did and they would proudly boast about it.
The problem now is that Obama has a pretty big following and the media is in love with the guy. Clinton stock has been falling faster than Bill’s pants in a Hooters and she is not able to get away with some of the same crap as she did before. Bill is not even looked at as favorably as he once was. One can only hope that this campaign is the end of their prominence and we will not have to see them anymore. Of course, I hope they do not depart before the Democratic Party is destroyed by its primary.
Say it with me Clinton followers. “Hillary lied. Hillary lied. Hillary lied.” Now, read this aloud a few times; “I am wee Todd.”
Nothing new to the rest of us but you folks have been a little dense. Some still are as evidenced by how they are lying to help her out of this mess.
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely feel as if Hillary is the one in that relationship who would confront danger. Bill showed what he was made of when it came time to serve in the military. Hillary might hate the armed forces but she knows how to mix it up when she does not get her way. In any event, she flat out lied about her Bosnia mission.
If she had been shot at don’t you think we would have heard about it then?
If Bill had not attacked Bosnia without UN permission (unilaterally is how the left puts it) Hillary and Chelsea might not have been there in the first place. It is also interesting to note that Hillary said if it was too dangerous for the president they sent her. He visited there before she did…
What took the tired old media so long to get into this story?
UPDATE: Here is a You Tube video from CBS that debunks what Hillary said.
