Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt: Hillary, Bosnia, CBS, Mt. Everest, Schuster, Mobs...

What do these things have in common? They are all prime examples of politicians inventing their own memories for political gain.

The Drudge report links to a YouTube clip from a CBS report unraveling Hillary's claim that she was essentially a one-woman combat battalion landing in Bosnia. My only complaint with the piece is that CBS comes out singing na-na nana naaa. Anything that buoys the shamed CBS news team is not a good thing.

This isn't the first time. You might recall Hillary down under in the 90s claiming that she was named after famed explorer Edmund Hillary who climbed Mt. Everest. Problem is, Hillary was a nobody until he accomplished that feat in 1953, quite a few years after Mrs. Clinton was born.

If I recall, Hillary's fellow New Yorker, Senator Schumer, had another moment like this, conjuring up in his mind the angst he felt watching the congressional mob hearings via boob tube as a child. Problem is the boob Schumer was watching at that point was his mom's... (forgive the crassness)... he was 8 weeks old.

There's something in the water up there...

	2 Comments: To my grave disappointment, Hillary and her disbarred hubby have been lying with less and less style as their campaign slips into panic. I once wrote : In my lifetime I've had the privilege of watching Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan play basketball, Wayne Gretzky play hockey, Muhammed Ali box, Tom Seaver pitch, Tiger Woods golf. And I've heard the Clintons lie. Greatness comes in many forms. I guess, like aging boxers who stay in the ring after their skills are gone, the Clintons are sliding into pugsville. It's so sad. By A Red Mind in a Blue State, at March 25, 2008 at 5:30 PM The firt thing I thought of after hearing about Bosniagate was how nuts the media went over Mitt's MLK story. The media is just laughing off Hillary's embellishment as no big deal at all.The media also seems to be in a quandry over who to back between Obama and Hillary because they can't figure out who is going to win.What irks me is the recimination republicans face in a scandal and how it's poo pooed away when a dem messes up.Does anybody believe that a republican mayor of Detroit would still have his job?
