it was apparently safe enough for a little child to a read a poem to the senator on the tarmac."

To be fair, a Bosnian child could read a poem while their own hair was on fire.

"I did not have sex with that tarmac..."

Goodness, gracious, hillaryous, now that we all have "blurred the lines between reality and 'reality,'" can we move on and get a real sniper from woodsy Pennsylvania?

Coming tomorrow: A Clinton speech calling for a serious discussion on Sinbad coverage and America. "We can talk about the lack of any danger to Sinbad...We can do that. Or we can say "Not this time". But next time, there'll be another distraction to draw us away from Sinbad. And NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

@wretched_of_the_mirth: Uhm, I meant "real," of course.

Nice Sinbad reference, AC.

Breaking news: Hillary's Pants on Fire.

I wouldn't remember some eight-year-old's bullshit poem in full-on Bosnian either. Cut her a break before I have to start making Sinbad-type jokes about flying on a C-130.

Peace mission to Bosnia must include: First lady, first daughter, Sinbad, a guitar player (Sheryl Crow).

What kind of whacked-out A Team did Bill send over there?

George Orwell's Age of Newspeak has truly come into being. This video shows Hillary ducking bullets, and the nightly news shows video of our soldiers in Iraq being welcomed with flowers. What is wrong with these pictures?

I think sinbad was the most dangerous thing on the Tarmac.

Update: Hillary was not being shot at, was gassy from all the burek.

Look, it was 12 years ago. Can you remember exactly whether or not there was sniper fire when you were getting off some plane 12 years ago?

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

Oh, Hillary, have you not learned from you husbands lying? There is always a camera, recorder, or blue dress, that will undo your lies.

You make up stories about Iraq as good as GWB, but thats not a qualification for the job you seek.

march 96. ellagood was still a VIRGIN.

Yeah, Anderson, and you're gay. If you're so into honesty, come out of the closet.

When they catch video of you coming out of "Boy Bar" I hope you make that crinkly face.

Ok, she misspoke. She deserves the benefit of the doubt.

So when was the time that she was running off of a plane under sniper fire? I get it, it wasn't in Tuzla, it may not have even been '93 - she misspoke, ok - but when...?

Was it in Gaza? Lebanon? Panama? Some old Soviet Republic?
Was it in "Die Hard 2"? Because that's what I think of when I think of sniper fire on the tarmac. Yippee Ky Yay mutherfucker.

@dandles: not too dandy.

@ellagood: In Other News wasn't, which is more surprising than anything.

"Bosnia? Oh, I thought that was Herzogovina, silly me. Or was it Montenegro? You know, when I'm President, I'm going merge Yugoslavia the fuck back together."

Hillary gave a false statement. This is about lying. AC doesn't lie and claim he's straight. Hillary is also touting her experience as the reason she should hold the highest office of the worlds remaining super power, so misrepresenting her experience is actually professionally relevant unlike AC's orientation.

Who put the bomb in the bomb-de-bomb-de-bomb?

You guys are getting owned by Wonkette's commenters right now; they were riffing on that A-Team thing for awhile.

This is a big story, but let's just relax and pick one thing and go with it. Hillary as lying bitch is too obvious. Think Yugoslavia, or Chelsea, or Sinbad, or either Anderson Cooper's or Sheryl Crow's sexual orientation.

"The scariest part of the day for Sinbad was wondering where he'd eat next."

Given that he hasn't worked that much lately, I'm guessing this fear is probably still very much alive today.

A whole weekend they had while this story broke, and the best they could come up with is "misspoke?" Somebody call Sard (hee hee, just kidding, Paul).

@Hez: HAH!

They were shooting at Sinbad.

@jackvinyl: I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, as long as she can produce evidence of another time that she exited a plane and ran, head down, into waiting vehicles. I can see her mixing up the time/location, but if she's never done that, then she was flat-out lying.

She meant snippy fire. If you look closely at the video you can totally tell that Chelsea just sassed her and oh, boy, is she going to get it once the cameras are off.

It's called benefit of the doubt, you guys.

@VoxPopuli:

Hillary's pants are on fire?!?! And yet she conducts the affairs of state without wavering, calmly going about her senatorial duties even as the skin on her thighs curls up like crepe paper. Now THAT is presidential!

@CaptainFantastic: Although, I have a hard imagining that they would even land her any where near possible sniper fire. If the military or secret service knew that this area was risky, there is no way.

Maybe she just meant that you know there is sniper fire in general in Bosnia, and we landed in Bosnia, so we must have landed in sniper fire. Maybe she isn't lying, she just made a logical mistake.

Even if she ever did have to duck sniper fire while running across the tarmac (and we have to see any proof of that ever happening), how on earth would that qualify her to be President?

Why would Bill send her and their young daughter into such a dangerous place, where they allegedly knew that they'd have to duck sniper fire?

NO one should trust her!

@mostlymartian: Yeah, you're right. And this just killed my support for Hilary.

To me she didn't lie. I couldn't hear a thing she was saying because her scarf was so LOUD. Jeez. Who dresses this woman?

The sad thing is, I would not put it past that horny shitbag husband of hers to have created a war in the Balkans so that he could have a little Kwality time with a fat intern.

You're all taking this too seriously. Don't you know that her nickname, among her closest friends, is "Hillarious." She just Punk'd all of you! Wait til you see what she has in store for next week.

@In Other News...: To be ruled benevolently by Toriano Adaryll "Tito" Jackson.

@CaptainFantastic: yes. I agree... b/c that is exactly the content of the comment you reference.

we agree.

The commander in chief needs to keep cool under fire, and Hillary demonstrably has that quality.
