Well, call me crazy, but “mis-spoke” is a far cry from an out and out lie. If she had actually gone into a place - any place - that there had been sniper fire, then she could have said she was mistaken about the location. Kind of like if I was surfing and a shark bit my board and I said it was in Hawaii but it was actually in Australia, then fine. But if I don’t surf at all, then I surely didn’t misspeak! I lied!

People claim that Roger Clemens lied to Congress. the nature of the questioning was “in ‘that conversation’ that you had in 2000 or 2001, did you discuss HGH?”. In WHICH conversation, the one in 2000 or the one in 2001? The question was itself false.

I agree. Clinton's depiction of her arrival in Bosnia is pure fantasy, a war story fabricated to tout her experience and bravery I suppose. But it is a lie, a very stupid and unnecessary lie and is extremely damaging to her campaign.

Quite right, what John McCain did in Iraq was to "misspeak" (and it was corrected immediately) -What clinton did was to repetitively tell a BOLD FACED LIE.

And then she lied about telling the lie.

And then she lied about that excuse too!
