Sinbad is Not an Army Ranger

Hillary just can’t help herself.  She herself has said she says “millions of words a day” which apparently means that she shouldn’t be held accountable for the veracity of all those words.  I guess we’re left to ourselves to decide which words are true and which outright lies.

For Hillary’s major international experience she keeps harping on a trip she made to Bosnia when her husband was president.  First off, how important could the trip have been if you took Sinbad with you?  Nothing against Sinbad, but seriously, what is a comedian who was in “A Different World” and a first lady going to bring to the table in terms of foreign policy?  She can explain how she picked out White House china patterns, and he can ply them with family-friendly humor; yup, that trip single-handedly stopped the civil war.

The worst part is that after saying she landed with the plane taking evasive action and coming in under sniper fire and then running to their cars, only to have her statement questioned with the fact that none of this really happened, she reiterated that her original statement was correct!  It was only after Sinbad confirmed that the only thing he was worried about on the trip was where to eat next, and that footage of everyone taking their time getting off the plane and meeting with children on the tarmac, that she said she “made a mistake.”

A mistake? So if I told you I remember getting a Cadillac for Christmas, but what I really got was a sweater, I guess I can chalk that up as a mistake.  I bet former Governor Spitzer is kicking himself for not saying that he mistakenly slept with a prostitute because he thought she was his wife.

So this new ridiculous lie comes on the heels of her other outright lie that she was always a critic of NAFTA when she in fact actively lobbied to get it passed.

If elected, I guess she’ll be the perfect person to carry on the legacy of lies the Bush administration gave us.

Hillary Lies – No Joke

I usually just make up a bunch of garbage for this site, but this story surprised me enough to repeat. The following is a brief summary from an article published in the March 20th edition of The Nation.

On the campaign trail, Hillary has repeatedly said that she was a critic of NAFTA from the start. Now, based on records recently released from when Bill was president, it’s clear that not only did Hillary support NAFTA but she actively lobbied members of Congress to pass it. That, my friends, is not a misunderstanding; it’s an outright lie. It will be interesting to see how this revelation plays in Pennsylvania.

Clinton, “How you like me now?”

Hillary Clinton took three states in Tuesday’s primary to narrow Barak Obama’s delegate lead by a whopping 12 delegates.

Clinton was expected to soundly defeat Obama in both Texas and Ohio, but she only managed to eke out small-margin wins which left the delegate count still clearly in Obama’s favor. This fact, apparently, had no impact on Clinton’s enthusiasm.

“That’s right, I won them states. How you like me now? You don’t see me sheddin no tear now do you?” Mrs. Clinton told the handful of reporters who bothered to show up at her press conference.

Teams of reporters, however, were found all over the Obama camp. Many enjoyed crowd surfing, camping out, and listening to the Dave Matthews Band. Some actually asked questions. Mary Bettendorf of the Killean Herald asked Obama, “How did you get to be so awesome and what can I do to be more like you?”

Obama modestly replied, “You just need to care about people and do right by others. Here endeth the lesson.”

Additional upcoming contests tend to favor Obama with Pennsylvania being the biggest delegate score left.

In other news that is largely of interest only to octogenarians, John McCain secured the republican nomination. When McCain was woken from his nap to hear the news, he asked if he could go home now because Matlock was about to start.

Mike Huckabee, still struggling with the basic nomination math, has not dropped out of the now futile race. “I still think we have a chance in this race,” he said. “With God on our side, anything is possible.”
