Election '08: Shrewdness and audacity have been political trademarks of both Clintons, but now Hillary has certainly overextended herself by trying to remedy an obvious deception with an even bigger untruth.
Trailing Barack Obama in delegates, and faced with the mathematical impossibility of pulling ahead of him in the handful of contests left, Sen. Clinton is in dire need of some kind of meltdown in which Obama would collapse in the polls against presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.
Instead, her worse nightmare has materialized. Last week, she was caught fabricating what took place as she arrived in Bosnia as first lady in 1996.
"I remember landing under sniper fire," she recounted during a speech on Iraq. "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."
Later, in a press conference, she reiterated these claims emphatically. "There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars," Hillary said. "Now, that is what happened."
Unfortunately for the Clintons, we now live in the age of blogs and YouTube. Videotape from CBS News showing what actually happened has now been seen by the multitudes, and news spread far and wide.
Accompanied by her daughter, Chelsea, the then-president's wife could not be seen doing any running, either with head up or down. There was no indication of any dangers from sniper fire. And the greeting ceremony Hillary claims was canceled could be seen happening, with the first lady greeting an 8-year-old girl.

Dylan acknowledgment Bump!
Great Post BUMP!
Thanks, more at the link - but it’s not me, I’m just channelling the toe-sucker Dick Morris. I don’t trust much of what he says except when he is assembling political info like that litany of Hillary lies. He knows better than most what Shrillary is capable of.....
Actually there’s a different Dylan song that is more directly applicable to the Shrillary situation...... it’s called
“IDIOT WIND”
“Idiot Wind” - could be renamed “Ode to Hillary”
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin’ south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You’re an idiot, babe.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
....and let’s not forget this refrain, which could be the “Ode to Hillary’s Presidential Campaign”
Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You’re an idiot, babe.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
