Hillary went on Pittsburgh radio station KDKA today to talk more about that time snipers were shooting at her in Bosnia — you know, the thing that never happened. Yesterday she claimed that she "misspoke" when she said "I remember, particularly, a trip to Bosnia, where the welcoming ceremony had to be moved inside because of sniper fire," as a qualification to be president of the United States. In today's interview she asks for a little slack, because it's the first time she's misspoken in 12 years:
"You know I have written about this and described it in many different settings and I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign. Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else. The military took great care of us. They were worried about taking a First Lady to a war zone and took some extra precautions and worried about all sorts of things. I have written about it in my book and talked about it on many other occasions and last week, you know, for the first time in twelve-or-so years I misspoke."
Mmm, can you smell the out-of-context goodness that this will bring about? Quick, Sinbad, we need your help — discover more misspokingnesses!
Oops, She Did It Again... [The Field]

"Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else"
Another lie from the Hillary camp.
...in her defense she isn't including half-truths, lies by omission and misrepresentations. So in that context she is a fukkin saint!
She's delusional. It's a surreal day when Sinbad is the rational sounding one.
The Trash Heap has misspoken. Nyaaah.
What about the time she brought peace to Northern Ireland? Good times, good times...
she didn't misspeak she inhaled.
Somewhere Sinbad is putting on his Sherlock Holmes cap and his special academic parachute pants and is rushing off to find yet another Hilary Half Truth... all for America.
God Speed, Sinbad. God Speed...
OK, So my mother didn't name me after Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. So what. Let's move past the politics of personal destruction!
bill has been doing plenty of miss poking for plenty of years.
It WAS a VERY dangerous location. The snipers were using those special cartoon bullets that are able to stop and look at a map.
We need a new Sinbad graphic, as he is apparently the fulcrum on which the future of the free world is balanced. [blogs.commercialappeal.com]
@metropolitan: *Rimshot!*
The rethug attack machine is getting into gear. We'll hear about nothing else but this and Obamas church on the puppet news networks for the next 7 months. And nothing at all negative about McCain. Wise up, people.
Wasn't "12 or so years" ago that whole whitewater thing? Som'bowdy got sum spainin 2 do!
@norbizness: First Jesus, now Sinbad. How come you crackers need to turn all the black people white?
@yardley:
Uh, no. In about 4-6 weeks, we'll be completely done talking about HRC.
Is 12 years an arbitrary number or are we neglecting to remember a very specific instance from twelve years ago; like that time she went to Libya with Gallagher and Sinead O'Connor.
Obama/Sinbad '08
Do you think Clinton will still try to steal Sinbad away? Sinbad is a superdelegate, right?
Give the woman a break. Who hasn't gotten confused about innocuous things like being under enemy fire, leaving your kid in the back of the plane while snuggling into the safer cabin with those hunky Air Force pilots, 'n stuff. Reminds me of when I was holding off the whole Army of North VietNam during the Tet offensive. Yeah....
Somehow I think this won't help:
[www.dailykos.com]
One of the Kossacks found a few previous instances of Hillary making this specific lie the first time. Should be fun for a larf.
you mean like the way we can depend on the media to stand up for us, like sheep blitzer did to cheney? baaaaahhhh!!!!!!! that's my daaaaaaady!!!
Hey, sometimes don't we all just get tired and completely make up a bullshit story about that one time when people were fucking shooting at us except they actually were not? It's an easy mistake to make. It's kinda like when I have a few too many drinks and it makes me yell anti-Semitic slurs or molest teenage boys.
For an encore, Sinbad has begun investigating Vince Foster's "suicide."
@shortsshortsshorts: I don't know. She did say "occasionally."
I'd be so much more forgiving about this kind of crap if she didn't act like such a passive aggressive snot every time someone questioned her about anything - ever. She really is the inspiration for Reese W's character in Election, isn't she?
Whats the big deal? Besides, who can go anywhere these days without a little sniper fire? Sinbad dodges sniper fire every time he goes on stage. He bombs so much he's on the terrorist watch list.
It's just like this morning when I went to the post office. I had to execute a quick bootleg 90 degree turn to park because I was under fire from Islamofacists. I was able to off three of them with my rocket launcher, but when I dove into the lobby, there was a squad of Viet Cong regulars demanding screaming "where McCain, where McCain". Lucky for me I set off a grenade, got my mail and got out of there quick.
Oh wait, I may have mispoken about part of that story.
Re: Hillary and her story.
This might be a good time for some public crying.
@Democratica: Fucking exactly. It would be okay for you to make a mistake or two if you didn't act like it was our fault for calling you on it and you know admitted it before you said it for the fifth time and eventually had to be refuted by Sinbad and video evidence.
I too spend months at a time misspeaking about things like the time I went surfing in Grenada,or skydiving in Panama or four-wheeling in Iraq,not to mention the twelve and a half months I spent camping in beautiful Bosnia,courtesy of the Clintons.
Of course,I have never had to face any real danger,like wondering if those cigars my spouse had been giving out to my friends had been inside anybody.
Where do Rose Law Firm records and the death of Vince Foster fit into that 12-year time frame? Suspiciously just outside of it.
The thing that pisses me off the most about SinbadGate is that we're probably missing out on something way juicier because we're paying attention to this instead.
You think Sinbad knows how to call someone out? Wait until Gallagher starts spilling the beans on how Hillary wasn't really the first woman to set foot on the moon right after she found a cure for cancer!
Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire, Hillary! NOW, GO AWAY so we can please win a general election for a change.
Yardley:
How cool would a Puppet News Network be?
@Democratica: yes, Tracy Flick. Uncanny resemblance. Except Tracy almost LOST because of cheating. Here.....
The Clinton administrations high points:
1. They pressured General Mills and the other cereal companies to fortify loaded with sugar cereals with essential vitamins and minerals.
2. I learned the meaning of prevarication.
@weazel: How about Naked Puppet News?
@Johnny Zhivago's Cat: that was excellent - you should run for office!
Hey Twogoatsforonecow. I always meant to thank you for covering my back while I was on R&R in Sidney to celebrate Tet-68. But I gotta tell you, there were too many 122mm craters around my hooch when I got back. Took me a couple of days to straighten everything out.
Remember, if ya gotta be one might as well be a Big Red One <;=)
Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on Fire!!!
Sinbad! You're vital to stopping Hillary Clinton! We need you! America needs you! Say something else! The pundits would easily (and gullibly) accept condemnation in joke form ... try that!
@weazel: You mean like Fox? Shepard Smith is totally one of the Thunderbirds puppets.
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Please be right. Please.
hey rambomarrow- I always keep my ithaca model 37 handy for those pesky terrorist snipers. Just hold the trigger and pump. Slam-fire, baby!!!
Shouldn't they settle who has commaner-in-chief bona fides with a game of Risk? Televise it live on cable news so Americans can tune in and watch them struggle for global domination.
(Obama: just take Australia man! You'll get a troop bonus and it's only got one point of entry to defend!)
@BenBraddock: 3. We paid off the national debt.
4. I got national student grants that got me through my last two years of college that I didn't have to pay back.
5. I didn't have an idiot or a criminal for a prez. (Other than what I would think of as misdemeanor idiocy and criminality by the standards of what came before and after)
The only reason Hillz has any traction was that Bill was a good president. Who got raped by the Republicans and national media and stabbed in the back by this own party. Just like Hillz willz...
She's a clumsy liar. She's always been a clumsy liar. She'll always be a clumsy liar. Her problem is she thinks she's a good liar.
@Democratica: And comments like this: [www.huffingtonpost.com]
HRC: "Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else."
HRC on Sinbad: "He's a comedian, you know.
HRC: "I have written about it in my book and talked about it on many other occasions and last week, you know, for the first time in twelve-or-so years I misspoke."
Three statements; three lies. It's like she can't help herself.
If you'd like to help those who, like HRC, cannot open their mouths without lying, please donate now, and generously, to PPWSSWTTGCFBP: [Preventing People Who Say Shit Without Thinking They'll Get Caught From Becoming President.] Remember: only YOU can prevent serial liars.
@metropolitan: Bah dum, psh!
I love this. A candidate can be caught in a blatant lie and nothing will happen because everyone forgets everything.
@weazel: Puppet News Network = PNN. Prounounced "poo nah' nee".
Hillary and Bosnia Compared to Obama's "Elect me and the world will be a magical place" and Bush ad Company's Weapons of Mass Discussions, this misremembered Bosnia thing is minor. Who cares as long as she gets rid of No Child Left Behind.
