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.
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.
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?
Does it seem strange to anyone that Republicans should almost impeach Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky affair and then give Rudy Giuliani a pass over his long history of adulterous affairs? I thought Republicans were the ones who believed that personal morality counts in public office.
Here's the headline graphic with the caption: "'Her heart responded': Clinton bows her head during the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last week"
No one has a problem with Hillary's religion, we have a problem when she lies about her religion to get votes. When the Republicans won the house and the senate for the first time ever, her husband lead the charge to show the Democrats are religious too. He said that democrats should go out there and talk about religion more... if you have listened to talk radio at all over the past 10 years you will hear quotes from the left as they have tried to get religion, and you can hear all sorts of awesome quotes from Hillary as she mangles the scriptures... My favorite is the one about the good Samaritans, and how the house bill on immigration would have outlawed the good Samaritan... I don't agree with everything from Ann Colter, but her book does a great job on how Hillary is faking religion in order to get votes...
We all knew Hillary was up to no good with her failed socialist universal health care program. Now Hillary is stating she wants to seize the profits of oil companies and start a "strategic energy fund". I think she is slipping from her carefully crafted moderate position. This is good information for Mitt to have when he faces her in the general election. After all, Mitt is an extremely successful capitalist and instituted an innovative Republican style health care program in Massachusetts. For someone who claims to care about the common worker, Ms. Rodham is quite reckless with our economy and our jobs. Let's let Mitt handle our economy and health care instead.
Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on a widely anticipated campaign for the White House on Saturday, a former first lady intent on becoming the first female president.
``I'm in and I'm in to win,'' Sen. Clinton said in a video posted on her Web site.
