"Seeking to burnish her foreign policy leadership credentials, Sen. Clinton has repeatedly peddled a harrowing anecdote about dodging sniper fire during a trip to Tuzla, Bosnia, in 1996. She brought her then-teenage daughter Chelsea on the dangerous mission. And entertainer Sinbad. And singer Sheryl Crow. And, oh, yeah, there was 8-year-old Emina Bicakcic, a Bosnian girl who calmly embraced the intrepid first lady and read her a poem on the tarmac -- while a huge contingent of children, parents and other onlookers surrounded them with not the least bit of concern about flying bullets.
When Sinbad, the Washington Post and every fact-checker on the Internet and under the sun debunked her tall tale, Sen. Clinton doubled down. She dissed Sinbad as a mere 'comedian.' She asserted that she and her compatriots ran for safety with 'our heads down.' She clung to her story that she 'had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.' And she embellished further: 'There was no greeting ceremony, and we were basically told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened.'
When video of the cheery greeting ceremony surfaced this week showing no such thing, Hillary's Truth Deficit Disorder kicked in and the symptomatic excuses poured forth. She 'misspoke.' Besides, she pooh-poohed, 'I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement.'
Priceless campaign slogan: The more she speaks, the more she 'mis'-speaks. Finally, truth in Clinton advertising!"
If you're an average American, you're either 1) too busy with work, school, and family, or 2) too distracted by American Idol and World of Warcraft to find out what's going on in the world that affects you. This blog is designed to take ten minutes of your time every day so you can learn what's going on right under your nose, and become a little less ignorant than the day before.
