Bill Clinton: Hillary On Bosnia? It's the Media's Fault

Slick Willie is at it again. After the story has died down, here's what Bill Clinton said in trying to defend his wife's Bosnia fabrication:

"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.

...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.”

Here's the full statement:



Uh, no Bill. She didn't "misspeak" once, she repeated that story multiple times. She didn't make that speech at "11 at night" and how the fuck do you "forget" that YOU WERE NOT SHOT AT?! How do you forget that YOU DID NOT RUN with your heads ducked into waiting vehicles? And why on earth is Bill Clinton bringing this subject up after it has died down and trying to defend it? Did he forget that we have video of that day in Tuzla?

And as Mike Allen of Politico notes, "The Eleanor Roosevelt claim also has been questioned, since Pat Nixon traveled to Vietnam in 1969." But I suppose Bill didn't want to compare Hillary to anyone or anything Nixon-related.

In her defense, the Clinton campaign issued a statement taking responsibility for the multiple times she has misstated the events. But it's interesting, and in my opinion calculating, that Bill would bring this up and try to convince one group individually in an appearance while the campaign distances itself from his remarks.

"A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me." Yeah, that's right, Bill. We're all against you. It's another vast conspiracy against all things Clinton. But this time you can't blame Richard Mellon Scaife, can you?

Bill Clinton - Douchebag of the Day.
