Tall tale-telling in Indiana? Chelsea Clinton continues the Tuzla hustle

By Michelle Malkin • March 25, 2008 10:22 AM

Chelsea Clinton has been campaigning with her father and actor Sean Astin across Indiana. Reader Christopher U. e-mailed this morning that at one of her speaking events last night in Bloomington, she was asked about the trip she and her imaginary sniper fire-dodging mom made to Tuzla, Bosnia. It appears that Chelsea is continuing the Tuzla charade, despite her mom’s admission that she ~~“misspoke”~~ lied. Oh, dear:

Dear Michelle,

I am a long time reader and fan of all of your work. Last night Chelsea Clinton came to Bloomington, IN to stump for her mother at a Hillblazers event. What I thought was an irrelevant question and answer now has entirely more relevance. At one point in the evening a man asked a seemingly meaningless question about she and her mom dodging sniper fire in Bosnia (I hadn’t seen the reports about the lie yet). The man wanted to know specifically how they were able to stay alive. What was her answer? “The brave men of our Military and the Secret Service.” After this the commentary between the man and her became incomprehensible to me as she had a mic and he did not.

I find it interesting the Chelsea was also peddling the same story last night about being protected from non-existent sniper fire. I can’t find video on YouTube but that doesn’t mean it isn’t out there. I thought you might find this interesting. Keep up all the great work!

Best,
Chirstopher

Maybe Chelsea should have stuck with her silent partner strategy.

I’m on the lookout for the video. I am sure someone will make sure it surfaces.

Very telling, but not surprising.

The thing that gets me is that this behavior is condoned and practiced regularly by Liberals, seemingly without consequence.

I see Chelsea is getting good training from her parents. She’ll be ready herself, soon, to run for office. Maybe she’ll buy some cattle futures too.

Any time a Clinton opens their mouth, it reminds me of the movie ‘Airplane’ where the guys nose grew, grew, and grew from the lie he was telling.

They’re really amazing and they can do anything.

I can’t find video on YouTube but that doesn’t mean it isn’t out there.

I think the BBC has something, or maybe they can whip something together.

Answers my question from just yesterday.

On March 24th, 2008 at 11:01 pm, shooter said:So dangerous, Bill couldn’t go so he sent…his wife ( which I could understand if it were dangerous) and his daughter (which is just wrong).
I wonder if the kid, Chelsea, knows the difference between the truth and the false? I seriously doubt it

Nice family. All LIARS!
Who was it that said ‘it’s troublesome how easy lying comes to them’ or ‘the clintons lie with such ease’. something like that. He was correct.

“…as she[they] had a mic… .”

That fairly well sums up the Clinton’s political careers, especially when one considers that the mic, aka the MSM, has always been in their hands – even when they have nothing to say whatsoever.

As an aside: If only one thing is made crystal clear by this year’s primary, it is that Chelsea’s congressional run is well on its way!

The brave men of the military and the Secret Service? Those would be the same ones Hillary — and a toddlin’ young Chelsea — used to describe as “pigs”? and used to have carry their luggage?

That nut didn’t fall far from the tree.

When you look up “pathological liar” in the dictionary all you find is the Hill-Billy & kid family portrait.

Chelsea most likely never attended a public school, most likely believes that she is Royalty and despises the Military like her parents taught her.

She is one very sad piece of work, like her parents.
