Bill: "They Acted Like She Was Practically Matahari"
Bill Clinton raised the Bosnia flap for the second time today during an appearance in Jasper, IN. Per NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli:
"This is a big deal to her. Some of you may have seen that she took a terrible beating in the press for a few days because, she was exhausted at 11 o'clock at night and she started talking about Bosnia and she missstated the cirumstances under which she landed in Bosnia. Did you all see all that?
"And, oh, they acted like she was practically Matahari, you know? Just making up all this stuff. And then the President of Bosnia said, 'Well, it was quite dangerous when she came. There were snipers in the hills around.' And then general Wes Clark, who was there trying to make the peace among the Bosnians, said, 'Yeah it was really dangerous. Let me remind you three of the Americans who were on my peace-keeping team were killed because they had to take a dangerous road 'cause they couldn't go the regular way.'
"And she had to go up into the cockpit with our daughter, in a bullet-proof area, and all the other people had to sit on their bulletproof flack jackets because it was dangerous.
"So she immediately said, 'OK, I misremembered that, they didn't cancel the welcoming ceremony, but it was pretty dangerous.' She was there cause she cared about the troops."
cause, n. The producer of an effect, result, or consequence.
because, conj. For that reason; since.
"she had to go up into the cockpit with our daughter, in a bullet-proof area, and all the other people had to sit on their bulletproof flack jackets because it was dangerous."
Why was her daughter there again? In this dangerous situation? That required bullet-proof vests? With snipers all around the hills?
Oh, right, because none of that happened -- there were flowers, and poetry read by eight year-olds.
Oh please, Bill Clinton ought to know that attempts to make Hillary an underdog will surely fail. Hillary has brought all her problems onto herself, and the media is just reporting her missteps.
Perhaps, more media should be reporting that ill Clinton's presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined. His federal retirement allowance (from 2001 through the end of this year) will amount to $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush’s and $4 million for Jimmy Carter’s during the same period!

For the wife of an ex-President who spends tax dollars like the way he does, think the Clintons really have any idea what it means to be poor, jobless, and homeless? Believe me, Hillary is no underdog. She has a talent to manipulate voters with her fairy-tale fantasies to sell her deceit.
She didn't tell the story because she was tired one night. She told the story many times, so the excuse that she misremembered is dumb.
I agree with NaR. It might have been believable if she hadn't repeated the story over and over.
Bill says she was exhausted. I think we are all tired of her too.
Hillary told this story at least four times that I know of -- and there may have been more. And at any rate, one doesn't mispeak about things like that. One would remember if one had to run from a plane to an armored vehicle because of sniper fire. She lied. Repeatedly. And now he's lying too.
That's just what we need, isn't it, after 8 years of Bush lies?
