Shameless liar on Bosnia: I’m only human; Video: CBS embarrasses Hillary again

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Or, failing that, he who at least hasn’t wildly exaggerated his foreign policy experience on the imbecilic premise that “if it’s too dangerous for the president, send the First Lady.”
The second clip’s my favorite. The reporter’s asking why she told an interviewer this morning that this was the first time she’d misspoken in 12 years. Exit question: McCain and Obama are also saying “millions of words” each week. How come they haven’t stumbled into any fantasias about dodging enemy fire while hugging five-year-olds on some tarmac?
Update: I mentioned in the earlier post today that she’s lied about this at least three times so far on the stump. Just how far does it go? Fresh from tonight’s CBS Evening News…

Chelsea was there. She didn’t contradict the story. That means the illusion is genetically caused. You gotta give Hil a pass on this.
You’ll get my bill in the morning.
JiangxiDad on March 25, 2008 at 7:34 PM
God, this woman is REALLY STUPID.
Or she thinks WE are really stupid and she can get out of this corner with a semblance of integrity.
Does she think?
I think the fire in her belly has burned out her brain.
Stay away from my healthcare, you twit.
Harry Schell on March 25, 2008 at 7:35 PM
“I didn’t say that, I was joking!” WHAT???
ctmom on March 25, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Remember what the MSM labeled this woman with?
The smartest woman alive….
But then again, she probably is the smartest woman in their lives. It’s called “bottom dwelling.”

Gahh…you beat me to it. :)
Harpazo on March 25, 2008 at 7:38 PM
“if it’s too dangerous for the president, send the First Lady.”
Gee, I don’t know how I would have taken that White House “saying” if I were Hillary.
capitalist piglet on March 25, 2008 at 7:38 PM
1,000,000 words a week equals 142,857 per day or 5952 per hour (that’s 24 hours a day) or 99.2 words per minute for every minute of every hour of every day of the week.
Looks like she’s embellishing again.
Bob L on March 25, 2008 at 7:41 PM

Somebody please explain to me why CBS has turned on the Clintons. Don’t you remember just how fanatically loyal the broadcast media was when Bill was President?
What happened?
Now they’re turning on each other like co-defendants trying to plea bargain their way out of a conviction.
rockhauler on March 25, 2008 at 7:46 PM
I wonder what juicy tidbits the Clinton campaign will reveal about Obama next? The ball is in their court.
ctmom on March 25, 2008 at 7:46 PM
The question that hasn’t been asked.
CBS News had this video for 12 years and this is the first time we’ve seen it? They knew she was lying at least as long ago as Dec 07, why no report or video before now?
E9RET on March 25, 2008 at 7:47 PM
Um, anyone notice she’s changed her reference to “millions of words”?
First, it was “millions of words a day“. Now it’s “per week.” Did she misspeak again? But it doesn’t make any difference — neither claim is possible.
Let’s be generous and assume by “millions” she means only 2 million. To achieve that in a day would require 1850 words per minute for 18 hours. Spread that over 7 days and she’d still have to harangue us with 265 words per minute, or 4.4 words per second, for 18 hours each day.
Hillary, I’ve told you a million times per day, don’t exaggerate.
An absolutely shameless liar. In other words, a pure politician.
Splashman on March 25, 2008 at 7:48 PM
It was fine to lie when BJ was pres, why not now? Could it be the Internet? The old drive by media can’t cover anymore.

Some of them even form coherent sentences. Others, not so much. Sleep deprivation will do that to you.

She wasn’t under fire when they landed in Bosnia unless Sinbad farted on her.
radjah shelduck on March 25, 2008 at 7:54 PM
Note to McCain camp. What you are watching is the MSM feeding on one of its own as an liberal appetizer. You’re in the fridge defrosting and you’ll soon be the main course.
Kini on March 25, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Wouldn’t a prudent person shut up when they don’t know what they are talking about?
Oh yeah, this is the Clinton’s.
cjs1943 on March 25, 2008 at 7:57 PM
You know you have one F-ed up election if Sinbad was the turning point.
Chuck Schick on March 25, 2008 at 7:57 PM
No doubt.
terryannonline on March 25, 2008 at 7:58 PM
She’s lied so often before, why should we belive her this time?
She lies so much I wionder is her name really ‘Hillary Clinton’.
petefrt on March 25, 2008 at 7:58 PM
Well, great.
Just great.
Right when I finally decide to get onboard and root for her a little bit she unholsters her weapon and machine-guns her foot.
Swell.
I’d hate to be some poor slob of a Democrat in Pennsylvania who had to choose between these two.
Ordinarily, this would seem like get-out-the-fork time. But what I’m hoping is that maybe the voters’ll just shrug it off. After all, she’s a Clinton.
They expect her to lie.
Typhoon on March 25, 2008 at 8:01 PM
She seems to be telling the press, “Come on! Quit acting like you’re surprised that I’m a liar”
ronsfi on March 25, 2008 at 8:01 PM
I like how she says she speaks millions of words a week and then stumbles around on how to say that that leaves a lot of room for “more…more…more”…lies.
Vigilante on March 25, 2008 at 8:01 PM
“I’m only Human”
Really,so was Frankenstein,if Hillary is concerned that
she spits out 1,000,000 words a week,and her brain can’t
keep up,I have a solution! Info Babes!
Hillary needs to surround herself with a couple of very
good looking info babes,the info babes can monitor what Hillary says and remind Hillary when she screw’s up!
Now there’s a failsafe system built into this,when Hillary
tells a real big whopper,the babes then can co-ordinate
with Slick Willy and then Slick Willy then can retire to a
comfortable area with the info babes and hammer out a responce for what Hillary actually meant to say! Haha!

Cuffy Meigs on March 25, 2008 at 8:08 PM
Yeah, with all that stumbling, she’s now way off her “millions of words per week” pace. For the next few days, she’s going to have to exaggerate a bit more, cackle a bit less.
Splashman on March 25, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Either she’s a thief or taking lessons from Bill.

MirCat on March 25, 2008 at 8:11 PM
She should use the “words, just words” defense.
SouthernGent on March 25, 2008 at 8:11 PM
This is hillaryous! She amended her story to mention the little girl on the tarmac saying that she didn’t want to be rude so she greeted the girl and grabbed the junk the girl had for her and then went back into combat mode. Now she has to face the media again tomorrow and follow that up with an explanation as to why she was posing for pictures with a seventh grade class on the tarmac right afterwards.
I’m sure she didn’t want to be rude to those kids either….lol.
Buddahpundit on March 25, 2008 at 8:17 PM
I can’t believe that CBS, much less any of the main(foundering in the tar pit)media, would dare to slap the hell out of the Queen. Hillary has spent her entire life in the public forum lying her ass off and now they decide to call her on it???
You kind of have to wonder if she’s so used to spewing out this crap or can she really not help it?? Is she so used to getting away with it??
I’ll be real interested to see if she holds on to her seat in the Senate after Also-Ran Obama wins the Democrat nomination.
You go NY…California’s got nothing on you.
BigWyo on March 25, 2008 at 8:19 PM
I wonder if the waitress ever got a tip from Hillary?
Kini on March 25, 2008 at 8:20 PM
What happened? Someone better came along.
I’d be more giddy about the factchecking if I didn’t know CBS had a political agenda behind it. They intend to bring Obama up. Little he’ll say will even be considered for this much attention and criticism, while they’ll try to slaughter McCain if he gets the smallest thing wrong.
amerpundit on March 25, 2008 at 8:21 PM
Hell hath no fury like that of the MSM
Kini on March 25, 2008 at 8:24 PM
If Hillary said “Good morning” to me, I’d check my watch.
windbag on March 25, 2008 at 8:25 PM
How very sincere of you Hillary.
Brad on March 25, 2008 at 8:28 PM
Here’s what really grinds my hump…
When she was confronted by a reporter, who told her that Sinbad had refuted her account, her reply was “Well, Sinbad is just a comedian.”
Typical clin’toon…Just another body in the wake of the clinton juggernaut.
franksalterego on March 25, 2008 at 8:28 PM
I say millions of words every week.
It only takes a few words to send the wrong message.
Kini on March 25, 2008 at 8:28 PM
I don’t know hat is worse. Shillary trying to justify her lying about coming under sniper fire Tuzla, or her lackies still trying to convince everyone she DID come under sniper fire in Tuzla. I just saw Lanny Davis on the O’Reilly Factor doing his best to convince a Army Colonel who was there at the time that Shillary did come under sniper fire, when the Colonel said that there was hardly even a cough in the region when she was there that day. In the end, Davis came across looking like a complete moron. This is why Shillary is going to lose the campaign. She thinks the rest of us our idiots and then she sends out goofs like Davis who will come right out and say that we ARE idiots, even to an Army Colonel who was there that day in Tuzla and saw what really happened. No wonder Gov. Bill Richardson got turned off to the Clintons. They are dishonest, plain and simple, and I think people are finally starting to realize that.
pilamaye on March 25, 2008 at 8:32 PM
The only revelation for me – she’s human!
Entelechy on March 25, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Her only consolation at this point is having won NY, CA, OH, TX primary, FL*, MI*, and probably PA. With the expception of IL, those are the top eight states.
If Obama ends up losing the election because a blue state like PA or MI goes McCain, she’ll have a major SITYS opening.
The_Freeze on March 25, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Seventh-grade human shields…how low can you go?
Next: the MSM finds a former Viet Cong camp guard who claims McCain spent his five years of imprisonment in the South of France.
MrScribbler on March 25, 2008 at 8:35 PM
What I meant to say here is that she will have won seven of the top eight states by population, the exception being IL for obvious reasons.
The_Freeze on March 25, 2008 at 8:36 PM
“It must be nice to always believe you know better, to always think you’re the smartest person in the room.”
Hillary (Jane Craig) bemoans, “No. It’s awful.”
Thank you J. Brooks.
deesine on March 25, 2008 at 8:36 PM
I wish someone would ask her exactly what “mistake” she says she made. Did she mean to say “Boston” and not Bosnia? Was it that she thought she was under fire, but had not been? Was it trying to make a lie like this slide by?
What was the mistake?
As I see it she is either delusional or a baldfaced liar.
Blaise on March 25, 2008 at 8:41 PM
She’s proved to everyone that she will indeed say ANYTHING to get elected.
Hog Wild on March 25, 2008 at 8:46 PM
I wonder if they are trying to narrow the margin of victory in PA, so the Wright effect isn’t so pronounced, and Barry saves some face.
a capella on March 25, 2008 at 8:50 PM
For once, I find myself actually applauding CBS News. That was fantastic.
CP on March 25, 2008 at 8:53 PM
I don’t know who I disdain more more, liberals or the “we just report the news – no we’re not bias” news organizations. rockhauler’s right. These are the same people who were so enamored with the Clintons years ago they could do no wrong.
ulyses on March 25, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Somewhere hopefully not in the future,its 3 AM,and
Hillary answer’s the phone!
After many tense moments and heated debate,Hillary puts
the phone down,her aid walks in!
After a few seconds her aid askes who was on the phone,
and Hillary says I think some Foreign leader,Russia I
think,but I can’t remember what I said,too many words!
canopfor on March 25, 2008 at 8:54 PM

I don’t doubt the millions of words a week admission. in fact, I bet Bill can confirm.

Um, haven’t you guys ever heard of sarcasm? Duh!
Jim Treacher on March 25, 2008 at 8:59 PM
With CBS jumping ship from the Clintons, consider the “point tippped.” Even though the MSM is behind the curve again on this issue, the fact that they are even running stories about Shrillary’s lies shows that they are cutting the loser free, lest they get dragged down along with her.
Mallard T. Drake on March 25, 2008 at 8:59 PM
Heh, Catie Coric is p’o'ed that she is won’t be the moderator at the next (now defunct) democratic debate. Thus the “return” to reak journalism instead of Hillary puff peices.

davidk on March 25, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Are her followers really as dumb as she thinks they are. You lied Hillary and you know it. Let me say it one more time . . . you lied Hillary. This “I’m only human’ crap insults your supporters, but perhaps they don’t care.
rplat on March 25, 2008 at 9:13 PM
“Somebody please explain to me why CBS has turned on the Clintons. Don’t you remember just how fanatically loyal the broadcast media was when Bill was President? ”
Maybe theres’ far worse out there that the media whores and some major dems know they can’t keep under wraps— see Harry Reid saying it will be settled before Denver
besides, Rush says she dissed CBS by not agreeing to debate in N.C. thus denying Kattie Couric a shot at major facetime…
If men are dogs all women are cats.

Hmmm…Harry Smith, the unbiased anchorman, said you can’t trust anything Clinton says. I guess he wants her out of the way so Obama can focus on McCain.
jgapinoy on March 25, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Wes Cooley, separated at birth?
Cooley was tagged with the nickname “Wanderin’ Wes” when he first ran for the Oregon Legislative Assembly, because he moved his mobile home barely inside the election district just long enough to meet the residency requirement. He was elected to the Oregon State Senate in 1992.
Very similar.
Cooley became embroiled in controversy after it was alleged that he had made false claims about serving in the Korean War. Cooley maintained that he had indeed served in the Korean War but that he was unable to prove his claim because he had served in the top-secret Army Special Forces and had been sworn to secrecy. He also claimed that the records of his service had been “destroyed in a fire”, and that his immediate commander, Sergeant Major Clifford Poppy, had been killed in action.
A newspaper reporter tracked down the still-living Poppy, who had not been a member of the Special Forces but a drill instructor who had participated in Cooley’s basic training at boot camp. When asked about Cooley’s claims, Poppy harshly replied, “Tell him he’s a liar. Tell him Sergeant Poppy said that.”
Very similar too.
In light of these scandals and the ridicule he was suffering, Cooley was persuaded to abandon his bid for re-election in 1996, although he had gained the Republican nomination when he ran unopposed in the primary. The final straw for Cooley occurred when Greg Walden, who at the time was the chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, announced that he would run for the seat as an independent, thus splitting the Republican vote and virtually guaranteeing a Democratic victory.
Cooley’s decision to withdraw from the 1996 congressional contest was a welcome relief to Oregon Republicans, as it allowed the Republican Party to substitute a much stronger nominee, former Congressman Robert F. Smith, who came out of retirement to win the 1996 election (upon the announcement of Smith’s candidacy, Smith’s good friend Walden had immediately dropped out of the campaign and endorsed him).
Not similar.
Two out of three.

No, actually her name is Diane Hillary Rodham Clinton. I don’t know when she took on the preferred middle name as her first.
Watch Madame Hillary’s facial expressions and body language when she is confronted with her own contradictions. Her dismissiveness toward her questioners and their points is quite telling.
onlineanalyst on March 25, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Both she and her husband are absolutely shameless scums of the earth !!! They have lots of pride … but no shame. They have learned to LIE … and so far the Left Wing Media has given them a free pass. That has only escalated their lies. It is going to be a reeeeeal pleasure to watch the 1st BLACK President and his wife get a swift kick on their rear ends by a BLACK guy !!!
aniladesai on March 25, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Actually, from what I can tell here in PA, most of the Dems are not too tuned in to what their favored candidate is saying.
A recent radio clip of Madame Hillary’s speech to a rather large crowd in the economically depressed Fayette County area had her getting cheers from mindless robots for promising energy independence. Good grief! Coal mining is one of the industries promising jobs to these people. Yet even with clean, green coal extraction technology, it is impossible to counteract the Democrats’ objections and hamstringing in the name of environmental protection. The poor schlubs cheering Hillary! need the jobs and the energy, and all she was offering was boilerplate.
onlineanalyst on March 25, 2008 at 10:51 PM
It depends what the meaning of the word “sniper” is.
If “sniper” is taken literally, then yes, she lied.
But if the word is interpreted liberally to include smiling little girls, then, my friends, she was telling the truth.
It’s all a matter of interpretation.
29Victor on March 25, 2008 at 10:58 PM
No folks… please… alittle sympathy for the devil… I mean… do you realize how hard it must’ve been for her to admit that she’s actually human?
I think the group therapy sessions are doing wonders for her….THANK YOU DR. PHIL!!!!!

OK Ok Let’s stop picking on the Hildebeast now…all it is doing is taking the heat off of Hussein Obama!
We’ll finish completely destroying her AFTER she gets the nomination.
It’s not that Hussein would be harder to beat, but the point is, if we prevent Hussein from winning the dem nomination, it is a MAJOR victory for the United States!
It is too risky to have a known jihadist muslim this close to the presidency! It would mean the end of America if he wins.

Hillary: “(cackle) I miss spoke…… arrest them all.”
Seven Percent Solution on March 26, 2008 at 12:42 AM
You may think you are exaggerating, but I think you are being very realistic. They will “find” him whether he exists or not, because they must atone for their sacrilege in exposing negatives about a Democrat.
Now maybe someone CBS can explain why they haven’t reported on this years-long tendency on the part of the Clintons to tell lies before now?
Let me guess… how about because the media were willing enablers of that lying as long as it was hurting politicians they didn’t like?
The media – protecting our sacred right to know what they think is right for us to know.

JimC on March 26, 2008 at 2:20 AM
I’m not gonna deny she lied, but I also think the media is exploiting this as a sort of “smoke screen” to take the focus off of the whole Jeremiah Wright/Obama ordeal. Notice how that incident hasn’t been mentioned ever since this whole Clinton lying fiasco. Funny how the media works in favor of Obama…
Livefreeordie on March 26, 2008 at 2:31 AM
This is so lame. So she’s exaggerating a 12-year-old memory. She’s been playing loose with the truth for months. The only reason the media is making a big deal out of this is because they want to take the attention off of Obama’s “typical white person” comment. I have a question I’d like someone to ask Hilary… which is worse, the vast right-wing conspiracy or the vast left-wing one?
