Clinton under fire

March
26

The bad press Hillary Clinton is getting over her exaggerated version of landing in Tuzla, Bosnia, shows no signs of letting up.

Clinton had been saying that she landed under sniper fire and ran to a waiting car without any greeting ceremony.

Now the conservative talk show host Rusty Humphries has broadcast an interview with the pilot who said he flew Clinton into Tuzla.

“Not only weren’t there bullets flying around, there isn’t a bumble bee flying around,” recalled the pilot, Retired Colonel William “Goose” Changose.

Who will show up next? The 8-year-old girl who greeted Clinton at the airport? She would be about 20 now.tjndc5-5jb05n8azw0165130o6p_layout.jpg

Clinton’s speechwriter Lissa Muscatine, who was on the plane, posted on the Web that the group had been told the welcoming ceremony might be cancelled because of sniper fire.

But you only hope for Clinton’s sake that another video surfaces — one that includes real sniper fire.

You know the fun Republicans are having with this. Their candidate, remember, was a real prisoner of war.

    “But you only hope for Clinton’s sake that another video surfaces—one that includes real sniper fire.” No, YOU only have such hopes. The rest of us understand that Lady Macbeth got caught in a blatant lie, not just an “exaggerated version” of the truth. Just like her lie about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary, when she was born years before he climbed Mt. Everest. Just like she lied about her cattle future trades, Rose Law Firm billing records, and her role in foreign affairs visits while she was First Lady.

    It’s things like this that the Clintons are very good at, coverying things up!!! They have been on our (NY State) payroll for way to long!!!! We can save ourselfs over 10k a month if we ship them back you where they came from!! OH I forgot, they don’t want them either!!!! Something about “White water” I recall??? She must have a staff just to keep reminding her of the lies that she’s told, so that she can repeat them at will. If you don’t lie there’s nothing to remember??? Let’s pack there bags and send them off to where they belong with the rest of the white collar criminals!!! Oh forgot, that would cost us even more money to house them!
