Clinton: I 'Misspoke' on Bosnia Trip Recollection
ABC News ^ | 3/25/08 | DAVID WRIGHT, ELOISE HARPER and NITYA VENKATARAMAN

Posted on 03/25/2008 6:47:30 AM PDT by tripod

When Clinton was challenged by a reporter that this revised account calls into question her foreign policy credentials, Clinton said, "No, I went to 80 countries, you know. I gave contemporaneous accounts, I wrote about a lot of this in my book. You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so, if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement."

Today, she said that she "had to meet this 8-year-old girl," so, "I took her stuff and left."

...she "had to meet this 8-year-old girl," so, "I took her stuff and left." And if we elect her to office she will take our "stuff" and leave.

I want to know on what trip the Hillary took she had to run for her life because of sniper fire. If this is “seared in her memory” it MUST be documented somewhere or it is a lie also.

I finally heard a clip of SeeBS taking Hillary to task for her comments.

The CBS News babe said “the war was over but hostilities continued”. Has ANY ONE on the Left EVER said the same of the situation in Iraq???

Odd what is always seared in her memory is a lie and when called to testify in a criminal trial, she claims she cannot recall details.

I am so sick of politicians and celebrities claiming to “misspeak”.

It’s called a LIE. Hillary! lied, and therefore in this case is a liar.

...she "had to meet this 8-year-old girl," so, "I took her stuff and left."

I wonder how this little girl would feel knowing what Hillary really thought about her at the time.

It shouldn't be too hard to find this girl (she's on the videotape). The girl would be, what, 18, by now?

Maybe CBS can find her, and ask her to comment, now that we know the truth about the former first lady's feelings.

Great diplomacy, Hillary. Offending little girls who give you gifts. Yeah, you're really ready for prime time.

Clinton:

"You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things..."

The Simpson's:

Titanya: But Duffman, you said if I slept with you I wouldn't have to touch the drunk!

Duffman: Duffman... says a lot of things! Oh, yeah!

I dodged sniper fire... but there was no sniper fire = I misspoke.

Plane almost crashed... but actually it was a normal soft landing = I misspoke.

George Bush is told that there is WMDs in Iraq = HE lied and people died!

I think it says a great deal about her mental state.Why lie now?

She was in a position to just keep her mouth shut and let B. Hussein twist in the wind. She could have carefully driven the demise of Obama, from behind the scenes.

Now here she is lieing for no reason, just to try and sound tuff....its a good look at a congenital liar.

She’s a liar or she’s has no idea what ‘seared in her memory” actualy means.

Dec. 14, 1983 at 7:39 PM is seared into my memory. I remember even the most minute and seemingly mundane of details from that day and time.

And this clod tries to dismiss this as a “misstatement”???

She’s an a$$

Sounds like this is her “Rev Wright” moment that will cost her a lot of popular support.

As Demo leaders get more panicky I’ll bet there is more and more talk of having some other compromise candidate get into the race, as difficult as that would be. I used to think the people who said the convention would deadlock and they would turn to Gore were way off base. Now I’m not so sure.

Hillary is a congenital liar according to NY Times columnist William Safire.
That's about as unambiguous as it gets. Hillary lies that I recall offhand...
The futures trading scam.
Hillary claiming to named after Sir Edmund Hillary.
In the days immediately after 9-11 claiming Chelsea while jogging in NYC passed by the WTC just moments before the first aircraft hit.
Claiming some 35 years of experience in, or, on the threshold of gov't somehow qualifies her as presidential material.
What experience ... knocking down bimbo eruptions?

She misspoke twice. After Sinbad called her on it, she repeated the story last week on St. Patty’s day — and that version was even more embellished than the first time she told the story.

Nice catch!!

Here’s the math:

1000000 / 24 = 41667 words per hour
41667 / 60 = 694.45 words per minute
694.45 / 60 = 11.57 words per second!

They lie so often that they can’t tell the difference between lies and the truth. I bet she has told this BS so many times she is now believing it, especially after writing it in a book and not being called on it. HilLIARy
