(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.

Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."

Clinton told the paper's editorial board it was a "minor blip." Video Watch how Clinton described her trip »

"I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.

In a radio interview that aired Tuesday, Clinton said she wasn't worried about the incident hurting her credibility.

Yep, she does say a lot of things, most of which are lies. Millions of words a day?

[doug from upland]

Let’s suppose someone says three words per second and speaks for 18 straight hours in a day. That would be 194,400 words, not millions. But to be fair to her, in a total of 194,400 words, only about 25% would be lies.

This tells me if Brian Williams didn’t learn how to lie from Hillary Clinton, they sure do think alike.

It’s no use...politicians lying is dog bites man.

[Sasparilla]

There’s lots of misremembering going on in liberalland.

Clinton said she wasn't worried about the incident hurting her credibility.

She was right about that. Nothing could reduce her credibility. It was already at zero. Where it sits today.

” I can’t recall” times 400......

[Night Hides Not]

Lord help us out if you and John ever joined forces...

Is this recent? Tommy Vietor is still around? Lmao

[Revel]

Depends on what the meaning of “Misspoke” is.

[Scrambler Bob]

Sniper Fire, I don’t recall ...

Isn’t that some sort of crotch disease?

[Sacajaweau]

There's no way you can misspeak such an event. You had to go through the rigors of making up the lie.

And she was reading from notes.

Same thing with Benghazi. Exact same pattern.

[pgyanke]

If she said even one word to me I wouldn’t believe it.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Misspoke, misremembered, verbal error, can’t recall. blah blah blah.

Hillary never lies and she always tells the truth. If you don’t believe that, just ask her.

[what's up]

I see this getting more play in the wake of the Brian Williams scandal.

PLEEEEEEEZ let Fox play this story.

Dan rather once claimed he was a US Marine.

"And then, ya know, they were shooting at us as we landed and we had to, like, run and roll and stuff. I was all, ya know, like Tom Cruise running for cover." "

what does it matter anyway..lol, everyone already knows she is a corrupt sleazebag..she is electable

[JudyinCanada]

Misspoke. Misremembered. They make up their own words.

What a shame that so many misvoted.

[353FMG]

She did not “misspoke” — she lied.

It’s in her nature to do so.

Now I understand, when Bubba said “I did not have sex with that woman...” he simply misspoke.
