Is Bill Clinton Trying to Sabotage Hillary?

Boy … the Clintons can never learn to keep their mouths shut when they are caught lying, can they?
Especially Bill.
It seems he has been so used to the media covering up for him, that he doesn’t realize that we are in the YouTube Age where you can’t say anything you want to local media without it going national and global within a heartbeat.
Case in point is his recent whopper this week.
Bill Continues The Bosnia Sniper Lie
Yesterday, Bill was in Indiana stumping for his wife. He issued the usual lies and fabrications about his record, her record, their finances, etc…
But then he couldn’t stop himself from uttering the following;
“And, you know. I got tickled the other day. A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me. But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995. Did y’all see all that? Oh, they blew it up.
“Let me just tell you. The president of Bosnia and General Wesley Clark — who was there making peace where we’d lost three peacekeepers who had to ride on a dangerous mountain road because it was too dangerous to go the regular, safe way — both defended her because they pointed out that when her plane landed in Bosnia, she had to go up to the bulletproof part of the plane, in the front. Everybody else had to put their flak jackets underneath the seat in case they got shot at. And everywhere they went they were covered by Apache helicopters. So they just abbreviated the arrival ceremony.
“Now I say that because, what really has mattered is that even then she was interested in our troops. And I think she was the first first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone. And you woulda thought, you know, that she’d robbed a bank the way they carried on about this. And some of them when they’re 60 they’ll forget something when they’re tired at 11 at night, too.
“But I say this because you need to know this. Hillary is not only on the armed Services Committee, but when she was in the White House, she asked to be our point person to make sure that Vietnam veterans exposed to the hazards of Agent Orange were taken care of….”
Thai’s Take?
[blink, blink, blink]
Huh?? Did he just try to spin something the whole world knows now to be false?
I wrote, back in March, how Hillary and Chelsea lied about dodging sniper fire. The lies were caught and exposed by the media (who seem to be fully in the tank for Obama as evidence by the fact that they didn’t cover this lie up).
Ben Smith at Politico has the following;
For those who forgot about the Tuzla rabbit hole, the speech where she got in trouble for “misspeaking” about arriving under sniper fire was in the morning, she told the story more than once, she didn’t acknowledge that she misspoke until more than a week after giving the speech (and long after the comedian Sinbad had disputed her recollections of the Bosnia trip)
Oh yeah…it seems that both Bill and Hillary forget that Pat Nixon visited Vietnam in 1969.
So other than that…they’re a veritable vat of veracity (alliteration aside)
