So Dangerous, Bill Sent . . . Chelsea?

Hardball had some fun at Hillary's expense this evening over the mystery of The Sniper Who Didn't Fire. Credit Politico's Roger Simon with making the panel's most devastating remark.
Hillary's Heminwayesque claim has been that "we used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady." Chatting with host Chris Matthews, Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson, and Perry Bacon of WaPo, Simon observed what in retrospect might be obvious but something I hadn't previously heard anyone else remark.
ROGER SIMON: She says I was there because it was too dangerous for the President. It was too dangerous--so he sent his wife and only child? It makes no sense.

The fact that the upcoming election is a national disgrace is being more evident by the hour and by the day. Three losers running for the POTUS. Our ancestors are turning in their graves; you can bet on it.

It wasn't dangerous.
There was no sniper fire.
No one had to run for cover.
Hillary "Misspoke" Clinton has been caught in yet another lie.

That’s an easy one for Bill, since she’s
Web Hubbel’s daughter, not his.

At the time of Hillary and Chelsea’s trip in March 2006, the Sink Emperor was engaging in his twisted sexual escapades with intern Monica Lewinsky.
Funny how the liberal media leave out that important detail from the timeline.

Another thing I heard Hillary say yesterday was that as the C-17 approached the airport they(the crew I assume) made here come into the cockpit because it was armored. Everyone else was told to sit on their flak jacket.
I know that I thought about that for a minute and decided that if they'd have told me to do that I would have told them to pound sand and to put my kid up front.
Either the whole things a pile of chit and there was no need to worry or Hillary took her kid into a situation that would get most parents thrown in jail for child endangerment.

It wasn’t sniper, it was STRIPER. There was a striped bass fishing contest that day...

ROGER SIMON: She says I was there because it was too dangerous for the President. It was too dangerous--so he sent his wife and only child? It makes no sense. Make perfect sense, since Bill has always been a gutless coward when it comes to being a real man facing danger!

exactly - it’s not as if this were some mundane thing - she’s claiming to not remember correctly about BEING SHOT AT? As if it’s some normal thing. Geez I’m starting to feel bad for her, it’s just embarrasing - she is so obviously a disgusting LIAR!

“it was STRIPER.”
If it was STRIPPER, Bill would have made the trip.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Also, Hillary and Chelsea were out of the country for an 8-day trip of Europe in late March 2006.
Bill and Monica shared their “love cigar” on March 31, 2006, the day before Hillary and Chelsea returned from their trip.

It wasnt sniper, it was STRIPER.Not a STRIPER, a STRIPPER. They expected Bill. But Hill was probably pleased, too.

The American voters have given the Clintons and Obama every reason to consider the average voter as a ignorant dumb ass...
Look how often they prove it at the polls.
Each and every feckless imbecile in office today - was ELECTED by the electorate....such as it is.
John Adams had it right....
The Republic would find its defeat if the vote were granted to all adults - without reservation or condition.

While Hillary and Chelsea were on their Bosnia tour, Billy Blisters was doing his cigar trick on Monica.

Yeah, it’s sad, but I’ll vote for Ace, I’ll even crawl over the proverbial broken glass if necessary, to do otherwise is something too terrible to be contemplated.

That “photo caption” is extremely offensive. The slang OMG is at the level of taking the Lord’s Name in vain. Adding the F to it is outright blasphemous.

Of course it was dangerous, and there was a massacre at Racak, and the Serbs shelled the Sarajevo market, and the Pristina soccer stadium was used as a concentration camp, and Ibrahim Rugova was murdered, and the ICRC didn’t see thousands of fighters leaving the Srebrenica enclave, . . .
What’s one more anti-Serb lie?

Yes, they trotted Chelsea out a lot in that period to create the illusion that they were an intact happy family.

It’s not like he sent his own daughter. There was no love lost between Bill and Webb Hubbell.
