Hillary: OK, I lied “misstated”
If, by “misstate”, you mean “lying through my teeth”, then yeah…”misstate”! From Politico:
Her campaign spokesman conceded the point this morning, and she met later in the day with the Philadelphia Daily News and Inquirer, where she was grilled by columnist Will Bunch:
Earlier this afternoon, Sen. Hillary Clinton came to the Daily News and Inquirer building here in Philadelphia — where she’s seeklng the Daily News editorial board endorsement — and I had a chance to ask her about a controversy that’s increasingly dogged her campaign the last few days: Whether she misrepresented the danger of her March 1996 trip to a U.S. military base in Bosnia in an effort to boost her foreign policy credentials.
Clinton acknowleged today for the first time that it was a “misstatement” when she said in a major prepared foreign policy speech last week that “I remember landing under sniper fire” but also tried to brush off the entire issue as “a minor blip.” She also gave a revised account of her airplane landing and her tarmac greeting at the Tuzla Air Force base 12 years ago — seeking to explain a picture re-published this weekend in the Washington Post showing her and daughter Chelsea calmly greeting an 8-year-old girl.
In her speech last week at George Washington University, Clinton maintained “[t]here 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. Today, she told our group at the Daily News that she was informed that we “had to meet this 8-year-old girl,” so “I took her stuff and left.”
No, I’m not surprised that Her Highness lied. She’s a Clinton, after all. But she’s actually getting called out for it for once? Better late than never, I suppose.

While I should revel in the media finally paying attention to a Clinton’s lies and calling them out for what they are, I cannot. Not when the agenda is to gloss over the other liberal running for office. The media has decided who their next President is – we can only hope America has other plans – like victory and prosperity.

bwahahahahahahaah!
Next article, some other racist screed out of Unity that B.O. “hasn’t noticed” going on for the last 20 years. Then another Clintonian lie, then another B.O. ignorance, then another Clintonian… ad nauseum.
Ah shore am enjoyin’ this Dem primary – and you KNOW what ah’m talkin’ about!
