When at first you don’t succeed, lie like crazy. Life is getting tough out there on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton. Even if she wins every single Primary or caucus from now until the Democratic Convention, she won’t get enough delegates to secure her party’s nomination. So what does she do? She lies of course. She must be listening way too much to her husband. Remember his “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” line that Bill emphatically stated all those years ago? Then we find out, he sure did!
I have a few issues with Hillary over her ‘foreign policy experience’. She has none. She was a First Lady for 8 years. Now, spouses of a Head of State do visit countries along with their other half, but they are definitely not involved in talks any more intense than visiting a craft exhibition or watching a delightful performance of cultural dance. So if she seriously believes that having a cup of tea with a group of Kindergarten kiddies in El Salvador is serious foreign relations experience, she is seriously deluded.
So now we find her not just getting a few facts incorrect about her visit to Bosnia in 1996, but creating an entirely fictitious account of the event, especially her arrival in Tuzla. But it gets better. When someone uncovers the videotape of the event, she arrogantly and flippantly brushes it off as ‘a mistake’ and says ‘it happens, proves I’m human’, as if she’s simply got someone’s name wrong.
This was a serious fabrication of events, a total lie. They ate her husband alive for lying, and nearly impeached him for it. We constantly call on George W Bush to be impeached for his lie about ‘weapons of mass destruction’ in Iraq. So if someone does not jump on this like a fly on horse dung, and make her not only accountable, but make her face the cameras and deliver a serious apology for sinking to these sort of depths in order to win her party’s nod, then we have learnt nothing from nearly 8 years of George Bush and his glib tongue.
Hillary continues to state she is the most able, capable candidate to be Commander in Chief. Well Senator, being able and capable requires living in the real world, not in the world of fiction and good storytelling. Enjoy your day.
