Re: Hillary misremembers lol

yes. "I remember lading under sniper fire and running from the plane with our heads down..."

oh whoops! the press was there and filmed the entire event. lots of hugs and smiles and press photos. no sniper fire.

Re: Hillary misremembers lol

On the one hand, this could just be one of what I'm sure are countless examples of embellishment of a story told by a politician to make it more interesting -- par for the course, right? It feels like so much more, though, because it highlights something that we all remember and know will come out in the general election but that Obama hasn't really hit Hillary hard on yet -- the Clintons have a well-documented problem with the truth. Obama may have shown restraint in attacking her on truthfulness, but the GOP will be relentless.

For me, though, it's more than a fishtale. There is a 180 degree difference between bullets whizzing by your head and having a photo-op with children on the tarmac. One is not a "slightly more interesting version" of the other.

More importantly, though, why lie about it in the first place? Who cares if you landed in a hail of sniper fire? The risk-reward analysis she went through in deciding to make this statement is puzzling to me -- so little to gain, yet so much to lose when she's inevitably caught because, you know, THERE WERE CAMERAS THERE.

The conclusion? There was no risk-reward analysis, because the woman has no problem whatsoever amending reality on an as-needed basis to suit her goals. I'm not even sure what those goals are, by the way, because they can't be the good of the country or the democratic party. The only thing she cares about is her own rise to power.

Disgusting.

Re: Hillary misremembers lol

I love how her explanation is that she "misspoke." Reminds me of a joke:

A man walks into a train station and says, "Hi, I'd like 2 pickets to Tittsburgh." He then says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to say "2 tickets to Pittsburgh."

The cashier says, "No problem, I do things like that all the time. Just the other night, I meant to say to my wife, "Honey, could you please pass the potatoes," but I accidentally said, "You fucking whore, you've ruined my life!"

this is so fucking irrelevant

Re: Hillary misremembers lol

i think it's 100% relevant. i'm glad she reminded everyone who might have forgotten that she and her husband are lairs.

The only way this is irrelevant is if you already think Hillary is a liar who will say anything to get elected, because then it's just another drop in the bucket. It should be relevant to anyone that hasn't already reached that conclusion, though, because it is symptomatic of a serious problem she's going to have confront in a general election.

hillary's memory was correct, you jerks....

Re: Hillary misremembers lol

I guess this isn't the only instance where Hillary has completely and needlessly fabricated an anecdote.

She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”

Seriously, what on earth is the point in lying about something so inconsequential as your daughter's physical proximity to the WTC on 9/11?
