Under Fire
Published 3/23/2008 at Hollywood Elsewhere
Under Fire Hillary Clinton 's "Walter Mitty Moment" -- a fabrication about the non-dangerous circumstances of a 12 year-old state visit to Tuzla, Bosnia -- is reviewed in this 3.22 Daily Kos posting . Very Weird. Busted , in any case ....and for what?

Sinbad Has Officially Ruined Hillary Clinton [Shooting At Us, With Lasers]
Published 3/23/2008 by Jim Newell at Wonkette
It is truly remarkable that the most effective dismisser of a Hillary Clinton lie this campaign season has been Sinbad, the comedian who can most generously be described as "the poor man's Arsenio Hall." Sinbad -- with his role in challenging Clinton about the nature of a 1996 joint trip to Bosnia -- has courageously realized that if he can't be funny himself, he can make Hillary Clinton the funniest person in the world. Hillary said just this week about the trip, "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran ...

Clinton Campaign Claims Hillary "Misspoke" With Blatant, Hilarious Bosnia Lie [The Bosnia Trip]
Published 3/24/2008 by Jim Newell at Wonkette
Here's the best video ever, again, that contrasts Hillary's account of being shot at by snipers in Bosnia with what really happened -- she greeted children while Sinbad and Sheryl Crow boogied in the background. Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson responded to the objective lie today with the closest Clinton admission to guilt in History: "It is possible" that she "misspoke." If you think like Ken Starr, that is! As for 16-year-old Chelsea Clinton's presence on the plane, she was to be thrown in front of the First Lady should a bullet approach her: "It is ...

Hillary Clinton Caught Lying Again
Published 3/24/2008 by Hollywood Grind at Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors celebrity scandals Hollywood gossip blog from Hollywood Grind
It should come as no surprise that Hillary Clinton was caught lying again. This time Hillary is being asked about her recollection of a trip to Bosnia. In the first part of the video is a news report from 1996, that shows Hillary walking around unconcerned about her safety, being met by officials on the airport runway, and even being greeted by an 8 year-old Bosian girl. Looks pretty relaxed. Hillary said later that the plane had to fly in a corkscrew maneuver, and everyone had to run for cover with their heads down from the plane, because they were under sniper fire. ...

Hil's Dangerous Bosnian Adventure Perhaps a Bit Exaggerated [Fake Candidate Day]
Published 3/24/2008 by Pareene at Gawker
So Hillary Clinton has been going around saying that she is qualified to be president of everyone in part because she was shot at in Bosnia once, in 1996. CBS News dug up their original story from that Bosnia trip, and it turns out the "sniper fire" was actually a little girl, with a flower. Some card spliced the report with the recent Clinton speech about how dangerous that trip was, what with all the "evasive maneuvers" and such. Busted! New York compares Hillary to memoir-faker Margaret Seltzer, but that's unfair: Hillary went to Bosnia with Sinbad so she's still got cred that no one can touch. Full clip attached ...

Greg Saunders: Metanarratives and Hillary's Honesty Gap
Published 3/24/2008 by Greg Saunders at Huffington Post Entertainment Blog
Do you want to know how McCain beats Hillary in November? In short, the same way George Bush beat Al Gore (minus the Supreme Court coup). As Rolling Stone explained in 2001 : Last year, a review conducted by two nonpartisan groups, Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Research Center, found that a stunning seventy-six percent of the Gore campaign coverage in early 2000 centered around two negative themes: that he lies and exaggerates, and that he's tarred by scandal. "We call it the metanarrative," says Tom Rosenstiel, director of Project for Excellence in Journalism. "Journalists are looking for a story line, a ...

Published 4/22/2008 by Clay at CLAY CANE // GET YOUR LIFE
[image] While sipping on a brew and releasing a few rounds of artillery, Senator Hillary "La Femme Nikita" Clinton , spoke to BET, "Yeah, me and my nigga Akon is doin’ a collabo for a new gangster film! It be like Annie Get Your Gun meets Menace II Society !" Quickly, turning to CNN, Clinton said in perfect Anglo English, "Yes, I am teaming up with the great African-American R&B singer, Akon, for an intelligent and groundbreaking film on violence. It’s sure to change the lives of every American." The “dynamic imaginative duo” collaboration broke after Senator Clinton had several cases of misspeaking, miswriting and misremembering , ...
