Flashback: Clinton simply 'misspoke'

The Clinton campaign says Senator Hillary Clinton may have “misspoke” recently when she said she had to evade sniper fire when she was visiting Bosnia in 1996 as first lady.

“I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia,” she said last week. “There was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn’t go, so send the First Lady.

“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 with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

They must think the electorate has the brains of a three year-old. Come to think of, electing Obama twice proves it. Never mind.

She literally cannot speak without lying.

Her strokes affect her memory.

Maybe now, but before, I'm pretty sure it was just the drugs and alcohol........lot's and lots of drugs and alcohol.

Wife: “You invited her back to our home and told her I was out of town.”

Husband: “Yes, but I misspoke. I meant to comment on the pleasant weather. The words just came out wrong.”

How dumb does she think we are? That's the Vice President's job description, not the First Lady's.

Screeching Hillary Ping.

The Clinton campaign says Senator Hillary Clinton may have *misspoke* recently when she said she had to evade sniper fire when she was visiting Bosnia in 1996 as first lady.

She has been using the episode as an example of her foreign policy bona fides.

Hillary said: *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 with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.*

But her account has been challenged, first by Sinbad, the comedian, who traveled with her, and then by news organizations, most notably the Washington Post...*

Article and # 11 .
