…when he wasa combat photographer for “STARS AND STRIPES”-he was walking to the latrine one day, and was shot at! Course, it was just a local farmer scaring off some crows-but hey, embellish it! It is hard to belive how any Bosnian sharpshooter could have missed Hillary-she’s a big enough target!
How do I defend CBS for taking three months to find the video?
… mmmmmm, they weren’t exactly sure until now which Dem they wanted to beat McCain possibly?
Ok I’m switching to the Today show in the mornings…
The Bosnia trip also confused Sinbad,- from the same article-
Singer also cited a Kansas City Star article from September 2000 that quoted Sinbad as describing the situation in Bosnia as “so tense. It was Crips and Bloods.”
Does that mean sniper fire? Yo no hablo Sinbad.
I remember one time years ago, a posting needed to be made in Great Debates. It was too dangerous for Liberal, so they sent me. After starting a thread in Cafe Society I had to dodge Pit threads and Mod Warnings all the way there. I had to cancel my visit to GQ and ATMB. I barely made it there without getting banned. I tell ya, I’m as qualified as any to serve as Commander-in-Chief of this message board.
Nah, folks wearing red and blue.
Frankly, anyone who’d WANT to be CiC of this message board is disqualified by virtue of mental incompetence…
How do you tell when Hillary is misspeaking?
Her lips are moving. Duh.
I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Correction accepted. My apologies.
Good point… NBC would have done the same thing.
Is this worse?
The song parody in the comments field is also priceless.
What about [url=“State”]this gem:
“This has been a very long campaign (laughs) so, occasionally I am a human being like everybody else.” Clinton said. “Last week for the first time in 12 or so years, I misspoke.”
So:
- She is only occasionally human; and
- She hasn’t misspoke in 12 years
I won’t be surprised if she tears off her rubber mask and it is actually Kodos under there.
I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can’t, I can’t rush by her, I’ve got to at least greet her – so I greeted her, I took her stuff and then I left
You took an eight-year-old girl’s stuff?
Shame On You, Hillary Clinton!
I was wondering - does former Reagan press secretary Larry Speakes have any daughters or granddaughters that might be willing to serve as Hillary’s press spokeswoman?
It would be most apt if she could call on her press secretary, Miss Speakes.
I won’t be surprised if she tears off her rubber mask and it is actually Kodos under there.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kang.
Note that she’s so desperate to get the focus off of the Bosnia sniper thing that, after spending a week "no comment"ing questions about Rev. Wright, she’s now taken to spilling her guts about the situation. Apparently she first talked to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, which is owned by…wait for it…Richard Mellon Scaife, who spent most of her husband’s time in the White House financing the massive operation to get him out. This is the newspaper that former and occasionally-now Pittsburgh resident Teresa Heinz Kerry wouldn’t even talk to in 2004.
Then she went on CNN and basically talked some more about Wright. Apparently the press is actually buying into this without noting that she’s practically waving a sign saying “CHANGE THE SUBJECT! CHANGE THE SUBJECT!”
I’m rapidly coming up on the point where I wouldn’t vote for her if she is the nominee…and I honestly didn’t think I would ever get there.

Me too. And not all that long ago I liked and respected her. I couldn’t imagine a scenario in which I would not vote for the democratic presidential candidate this fall, but she’s managed to bring that about. I’d still show up in November to vote for the downticket dems I want, but in the unlikely event she pulls off the nomination, I’ll be writing in someone else for president.

That makes three of us. When the primaries started i assumed it was a forgone conclusion she would be the nominee and had no problem with that whatsoever, but little by little she has been losing my vote.
I too assumed she’d be the nominee at the beginning of this process; I too would have voted for her, even though I expected her to lose narrowly to the Republican, given all the baggage she carried even back then.
Now? Damn, maybe the thought of the Supreme Court would motivate me to overcome my antipathy and disgust, but it would be difficult, especially knowing that she’d not only lose but take the Democratic Party down with her.
OBAMA NC BACKER ‘APPALLED’
North Carolina reporters got a taste of conference call campaigning this afternoon, with Team Obama getting Carolina backer Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-1) on the horn to slam Hillary Clinton over her reported exaggerations of the perils of a trip to Bosnia in 1996. Butterfield, the only member of North Carolina’s Democratic congressional delegation to have endorsed a candidate, said he is “appalled” on behalf of his constituents over the claim. Calling the misstatement “a strike against” the New York senator, he added that she owes the citizens of his state – and America – an apology for it.
Butterfield also expressed doubt that Clinton’s tenure as First Lady has uniquely readied her for a position at the helm of America’s foreign policy. “And now that she has missrepresented and exaggerated her trip to Bosnia,” he argued, “[that] really leads me to the conclusion that she not only lacks the qualifications but that she doesn’t see the importance of being accurate in making statements regarding her qualifications.”

So, let’s see how this has affected her in the upcoming primary in his state:
. . .[Obama] expanded his lead in North Carolina to 21 points.
Obama leads Clinton 55-34 in the state. . .
Obama also pulled within a 47-40 margin of Clinton with white voters after trailing Clinton 56-30 last week, an indication that his speech on race in Philadelphia last week may have earned him some points.
. . .
PPP surveyed 673 likely Democratic primary voters on March 24th. The survey’s margin of error is +/- 3.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

But how much of a change is that, really? Well, less than a week ago, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were virtually tied, 44-43.
