Run for cover!
The fun is already under way at F/R, where imaginary sniper fire-dodger Hillary Clinton’s kiddie human shield photo-op in Bosnia has photo-shoppers (and video mash-up artists) salivating. Join in and I’ll post the best entries.
Here’s a triple-snort-worthy image from Roscoe Karns:
And a related oldie-but-goodie from Registered:
The NYT covers Hillary’s admission of “misspeaking” yesterday in Philly:
As part of her argument that she has the best experience and instincts to deal with a sudden crisis as president, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton recently offered a vivid description of having to run across a tarmac to avoid sniper fire after landing in Bosnia as first lady in 1996.
Yet on Monday, Mrs. Clinton admitted that she “misspoke” about the episode — a concession that came after CBS News showed footage of her walking calmly across the tarmac with her daughter, Chelsea, and being greeted by dignitaries and a child.
The backpedaling was a rare instance of Mrs. Clinton’s acknowledging an error, and she did so on a sensitive issue: She has cited her “strength and experience” since the start of the presidential race, framing her 80 trips abroad as first lady as preparation for dealing with foreign affairs as president. That argument was behind her campaign’s “red phone” commercial, which cast her as best able to handle a crisis.
Mrs. Clinton corrected herself at a meeting with the Philadelphia Daily News editorial board; she did not explain why she had misspoken, but only admitted it and then offered a less dramatic description.
Mrs. Clinton said she had been told “that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire,” not that actual shots were being fired.
“So I misspoke,” she said.
Let’s fix that:
“So I misspoke lied.”

…here’s commenter franksalterego’s entry:
…and here’s reader Joe G.’s entry:
And for real: Chelsea tells Hillary supporters how she managed to stay alive! Snort.
Update: Satire king Scott Ott at Scrappleface has unearthed the real “raw video and audio” from Hillary’s Tuzla adventure:
Update: Chris Matthews’ leg recounts its own dangerous mission under sniper fire.
Update: Abe Greenwald at Commentary weighs in:
Yes, we understand that people have bad memories. Yes, we are reconciled to the fact that politicians often have conveniently bad memories. But Hillary has an excellent memory, and furthermore she wasn’t lying. This kind of tall tale cut from whole cloth is the special realm of the Clintons, and it is an indication of a dangerously deluded mind. When Hillary recounted her great escape, she believed every word of it.
Update: New excuse…
She was sleep-deprived.

That Hillary-as-Dukakis photoshop is going to give me nightmares.
Nightmares? Not hardly. I can’t horse laugh and sleep at the same time.
Maybe Hillary can. She can do anything don’t ya know. Trouble is, she wants to do too much (with of course Other People’s Money – OPM).
Yes…she is scarier than clowns.
Democrats are certainly showing everyone that they are one messed up party. They have a “storyteller” inexperienced socialist on one side, and a radical inexperienced “African-American”, running on race, on the other side. If I was a democrat, with some sort of common sense, I’d be throwing up my hands in disgust, and walking away.
I’ve got a proposed new campaign theme song for Hillary over at my website.
Run for Cover, it’s Hiedi!
ot-
opening day in japan, oakland 1-0 over the sox….bot. 1st. espn2…
I’ve already seen the lefties’ response to this one: Well, Bush lied, too.
A caption for the third picture:
“Mike! Thanks for the tank, but do you really think it makes me look thinner?”
Caption for the first one~
“Little girl, did my people already frisk you? Let me just make sure…(gun slips out of Hillary’s sleeve)..Guys, she’s got a gun! This will SO make my presidency!”
Chelsea under her breath saying
“she never held me like that” (sniff)
Like I said at HotAir, Tell Rush to dust off his old Hilary gag with the “Try To Remember” song background! Hasn’t Hilary testified over 200 times in congressional hearings that she doesn’t “recall” or “remember” events. That was over a decade ago; now she is recalling events that didn’t happen. Is she really all that competent? That’s why I can’t stand either Clinton, because they lie so easily.
Hillary: “Hi sweetie. Thanks for showing up at my photo shoot. On 3, you and I are both going to have to duck. Look surprised.”
What continues to concern me about Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea is that they never own up to their lies. They never simply admit “I lied”. Never. Not once. They always put a spin on their lies. They misspoke. Define sex. Etc. etc. etc. And they expect us to trust them? That’s an outrageous demand on their part.
Hillary lied.
She does it and doesn’t even blink.
Bill lied but remained President.
Hillary expects that lying is a pre-requisite for the Presidency.
Nothing new here, just Democrat Logic made simple,
Very nice to see these modern day democrats expose each other.
Can’t wait for the next Barrack moment to hit the msm; it is going to be tough topping the Wracist WReverend Wright. I’m still waiting for his tribal ties in Kenya to be exposed.
Kudos to Hillary’s team for exposing BHO’s pastor and kudos to BHO for exposing the Tuzla lie again.
Hillary: Where’s your brother Hansel?
Gretel: He couldn’t get through security!
Hillary: Well, when I get my house of Candy from the American citizens, you and he can come visit.
Gretel: Really! Wow! Can I bring my father?
Hillary: Sure, you can bring all your relatives, as long as they’re of voting age!
Gretel: What about my brother? He’s not of voting age.
Hillary: Well, *grinning*, Chelsea and the rest of my staff can get mighty hungry! BwaaaHaaaHaaaaHaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
As she herself has pointed out, the photographic documentation of her life over the past 20 years would seem to be a deterrent for Shrillary to lie like this, wouldn’t y’all? It is proof that she is a pathological liar, isn’t it? If the definition of pathological liar is “lying without any reason to do so”, that would explain it.
It must suck to be a Democrat these days, with one candidate a pathological liar, and the other a closet America-hater!
Hillary – “I hope those snipers aren’t using 12.5mm rounds; she’ll only stop a 7.62 one.”
Chelsea – “At least she stopped using me as a human shield.”
I don’t think it helps for us to get involved in this battle. Take the high ground here.
In the immortal words of George Costanza:
I thought I’d beat lgm to the punch in trying to rationalize Hillary’s nasty habit.
Here is no high ground when dealing with a snake.
lol
Maybe that little girl Hillary was holding was the sniper. And Hillary caught her! So maybe actually Hillary saved everyone from certain death by apprehending the sniper the military sent out after her.
Or maybe the Clintons would rather climb a tree and lie than stand and tell the truth.
Speaking of dishonesty, how come the mainstream media hasn’t covered Hillary’s campaign looting the credit cards of her donors? Hillary has made a practice of making unauthorized charges on the credit cards of those who donate to her. You donate a couple grand to Hillary, the next thing you know your bill comes back for six grand or nine grand.
Chelsey is the cheap bling on Hill/Bill, the two sides of the same counterfeit coin, not to mention “No woman is illegal” Hillary. Mobarak “Hussein” Obama is a coward hiding his muslim roots, running for presidency of the country his church “Damns”. Go Figure!
Only candidate to vote for and look oneself in the mirror is: Ron Paul!
Back to bed……….
Monte Hall. I like your use of OPMs. I use that too.
Well–If she knew about the sniper fire, then she should have been charged with child endangerment!
How old was her daughter then? I have a lot more to share about Tuzla/Taszár. Perhaps later.

Agreed – not at this time.
As the expression I repeatedly refer to goes:
When your enemy (for the socialists/secularists have sadly shown that they are way beyond mere opposition) is in the process of destroying himself, do not interfere.
“So I
misspokelied.”Yup.
Sounds familiar…
For some reason, I cannot get the vision out of my head of Fonzie saying “I was wrrrrrrr….. I was wrr…..” Don’t get me wrong — I loved Fonzie. Hillary? Not so much.
#28 — And there’s one of our resident trolls.
::stands back and lets the other players smack Sausage around with some facts
OK, a blog doesn’t have to be “fair and balanced”. But on the subject of lying politicians, try holding Hillary next to John (McCain). Let’s vote for the one who lies less, or who lies about less important things.
Hillary: “I was shot at” (not)
John: “I oppose torture” (Stood by Bush as he promised to continue torturing)
John: “I don’t work with lobbyists” (most of his senior campaign staff are lobbyists).
The difference is that John is discussing policy that affects all Americans while Hillary is talking about her vacation.
Did Walter Mitty sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom?
Hillary is like so many people who have lived safe and secure lives and desperately want to make themselves into heroic figures. So she simply took a routine visit to Bosnia and made it into a harrowing adventure. She is like the kid who rides on the Cyclone at Coney Island and treats it as if he was blasted into outer space.
The Cyclone at Coney Island is by the way, terrific fun!
Well I am now convinced we have 3 candidates unfit to be president.
It is seared, seared into my memory!!
What next, memories of a stint in Cambodia during Christmas?
LOLOL!
Why doesn’t the cankle monster go out and support soldiers under real, not imaginary, fire in Iraq?
We have such Rich History (sarcasm) of the Democratic Party to educate us (Especially the last 50 to 60 years)….one has to wonder what the Democratic “Platform” would look like, if it took actual Physical form.
An elevated Platform so they can look DOWN on the people with distain. With Multiple Legs supporting it. Each Leg labled with such things as:
Lies
Deceit
Communism
Entitlement
Sexual Depravity
Elitism
Cowardice
Bribery
Wow, lgm, that is weak…even for you.
With candidates like these, it’s no wonder there are threats of riots at the convention.
Sadly predictable. Do you have anything else in your bag besides redirection?
You don’t really believe that she is only talking about her vacation, do you? Especially when this whole fabrication came up as a means to define how she handles pressure and has also been used as part of the “35 years experience” story. It’s just too bad that the “experience” of which her campaign speaks is in distorting the truth.
With the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi holding down the fort in Congress, it should not surprise any of us that the Democrats can’t put forth a viable candidate for president.
“I did not have sniper fire with that woman”.
I love the pic of Hill as dukakis in the tank. I can’t stop laughing.
Let’s not encourage the troll, he’ll be comparing this to his utter nonsense soon enough.

I’m with you there!
I think we can upgrade her to “pillaging!”
I find that story to be quite revealing, particularly with respect to how she treats other people’s money.
I think I believe Hillary, she must have taken one off the bean somewhere.
This from the CNN story…
“I say a lot of things — millions of words a day — so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement,” she [Hillary] said.
“millions of words a day…” must be a long day, Hil, since there are 86,400 seconds in one day, that makes (even at one million words) oh, roughly 100 words per second….
inumerate much Hil? Please try not to confuyse those troublesome zeros when stealing our tax money for your socialist programs, ok?
correction, 1,000 words/second …. and that doesn’t include cackles!
What’s more unsettling is her implied idea that the more you speak, the less responsible you are for what you say.
lgm. I will be glad to debate you on The Truth, honesty, facts, communism and democracy. Online or offline. I am a patient man.
PBoilermaker (#36) rips apart my argument in detail:
terrig (#41) follows with incisive logic:
Granted Hillary is not entirely truthful, but she doesn’t come close to John McCain in untruthfulness. If John is elected (he says) he will base military strategy in Iraq on the idea that Iran is training AlQaeda. Some lies have more consequences than others (Bush lied, people died).
Salt said: What’s more unsettling is her implied idea that the more you speak, the less responsible you are for what you say.
true true…plus, here annoying dismissal of the lie “let’s just move on now….”

Dang! I did a Photoshop of HRC as Dukakis a few months ago (also BHO) but this one beats mine. ROTFLMAO.
That one needs to get spread around. Democruds have no “hand” when it comes to war.
LGMoonbat, I think you know the “utter nonsense” that I was referring to-your cause de jour the ac. You claim to be such a brillant mind you figure it out.
Truly fascinating logic.
Five lines of text, nothing of substance to further your argument and a classic BDS bumper sticker thrown in for good measure.
Good job. Do you teach fuzzy math to your kids, too?
PurdueBolermaker, he’s quite the scholar is he not?
Sorry should be “Boilermaker”.
Liar, liar pants on fire!!!!!!!!
Ah, trolls…the gift that keeps on giving.
They do not disappoint, even going the extra mile to supply the tired, lame, 60s-”activist”-sounding chant of “Bush l—, etc, etc”.
Which itself is a lie: to folks who bother to consider what were the best intelligence (not just U.S.) assessments available pre-Iraq invasion AT THAT TIME; and to folks with more than a few functioning…no, I will resist the urge to deliver a however indirect, and however deserved, personal smear.
As if it were needed – yet further illustration of the futility of engaging in rational argument with other-worldview-holders; as well as the dangerousness of their thinking and ideas, should they end up controlling all three branches of the federal government.
Imagine a nightmare world, where the socialists/secularists/anarchists/trolls/other-worldview-holders have achieved complete, total political control; and can force you, to the point of killing you, to think, speak, and act exactly as they tell you to.
Gee, sort of sounds like 1984, Brave New World, and sharia law all rolled into one nice package, doesn’t it?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I feel really bad for his students.
I love watching the Dems eat their own. I never thought we’d see Democrats with Hillary Derangement Syndrome, but it is hilarious.
Yeah, that Hillary, she’s such a heroine! I bet she would have single-handedly saved the plane she was on from going down if it had taken enemy fire. It’s nice to know that you can recreate myths every day.
lgm, as someone said already, all you do is redirect.
Hillary Lied:
lgm: so McCain lied worse!
Obama and Wright:
lgm: So, McCain and Hagee
Any other criticism:
lgm: So, Bush (fill in the blank).
Which actually helps promote the case that the actions of Hillary and Obama are indefensible.
Someone with talent needs to do a “Madame Commander” McHillary video (a la the cartoon McBragg)…
“How DID you stay alive in Bosnia Madame Commander?”
“Just as the snipers began shooting at my party I unleashed an ear-shattering cackles that drove them further and further into the hills, then I shielded my entire party from the onsluaght of bullets with the protection of my enormous cankles as we sped to our awaiting vehicles…”
“Unbelieveable Madame Commander!”
“Quite”
lmao, alexandra acker…… on fox….ha. what a joke trying to defend hillary. this gal is filled with helium.
Yes, I just saw that. It was incredible that she kept a straight face while spewing that bilge.
Mr.J said (#62):
This is not redirection, it’s giving the whole picture. You want to choose the most honest (least dishonest) candidate. So who is it? Hillary is not entirely honest (understatement). John (McCain) is not entirely honest.
Ask: who tells bigger lies? Which lies have more impact on the country? That’s what the thread is about.

Agreed. Terrig/Granite… he and quite a few others keep following quite the familiar response pattern. It’s really disappointing and frankly, boring. It’s nice to know even trolls can offer Hillary flak protection at a time like this.
Agreed Emjem24.
Amen Emjem24.
Too bad he also sounds like Saddam Hussein’s former propaganda (infomerical?) minister. What was his name…yeah, the guy who kept saying that the Iraqis were enjoying a glorious defeat against the Americans and Baghdad hadn’t fallen? Oh, now I remember (hits head)…Bagdad Bob! Lgm=Bagdad Bob. Now I know where I’ve seen him before!
ROTFLMAO!!! In your dreams, Math Man.

#72 DBNinKY:
Seriously, go to the troll’s website and read his public documentation (about a month or so ago) of his “abdominal event”.
Then, wonder why anyone, anywhere, at anytime, should take seriously anything that individual has to say.
Hillary’s problem is that she’s always been “Slick Willy without the ‘Slick.’”
I imagine that right now she must be feeling like Julius Caesar in the Senate on the Ides of March – more and more people she thought she owned politically are pulling out daggers.
If, according to James “The Hills Have Eyes” Carville, Bill Richardson is Judas, then it follows that the news media must be Brutus: their decision to stop covering for Hillary on her casual deceits, after years spent dutifully ignoring, downplaying and rationalizing them, must be especially galling.
When Caesar croaked the words, “Et tu, Brute?” he knew it was over. Likewise with Hillary seeing the Drudge headline, “CBS Exposes Hillary Bosnia Trip.”
Stick a
daggerfork in her, she’s done.Frank # 73-I laughed so hard I sprayed my keyboard with the Dew I was drinking. This has been a banner day for Hill photoshops.

Keep the photoshops coming, these are getting good!!!!! “Hillbo, first blood Bosnia” hehehehe
Silly-Hilly had a “kerry”moment.
35 years of experience is a pretty large lie, especially in light of the fact that when she’s challenged to prove it, she comes up with these ridiculous stories and is now covering it up with statements about misspeaking and having said a million things that day.
Her campaign is built on the premise that as President Clinton’s wife, his experience is somehow also transferable to her. Any Democrat that believes that voting for H. Clinton means you’re getting B. Clinton is sadly fooling only themselves. President Clinton, at least, had charisma going for him.
The thread is not about “who is worse”. Too much focus (admittedly on both sides) is about proving that the other is worse as a diversionary tactic. Why must the argument always be about being the lesser of the evils? If you believe in Hillary, why can you not defend her without immediately looking for someone you can define as worse? That is redirection no matter how you choose to color it.
Hillary Clinton’s real experience is as a junior NY senator. Does her record there justify her running to lead the entire country? If she were not married to the 42nd President, would she have had the opportunity?
The impact to this country is that she has no appreciable experience in leading and what little she finds to prove her so-called experience seems to unravel under inspection.
If Obama were not the choice of the MSM, CBS would never have challenged her with the video.But this is fun, though cannot Photoshop at work…especially since I have to run past snipers to get to the break room.
The only one running on the tarmac was Bill, and he was shouting “Lookie there, a fat girl!” (OK, I made that up.)
And, of course, the follow-up to the outstanding performance.

Oh, man!!
Good thing I had put my coffee down before I saw this!
Great one.
Kudos to you, frank….
I am waiting for anyone in the MSM to confront Hillary (politely) with another one of her lies. Any decent MSM reporter could ask Hillary: Mr. Trimble says that you had no role in the peace negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. Mr. Trimble says that, contrary to your claims, you did not participate in the negotiations. Do you claim that Mr. Trimble is a liar?
