Video: Here’s Chelsea spinning Tuzla

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 25, 2008 01:23 PM

Thanks to reader Robert M., here’s the video of Chelsea Clinton’s Tuzla remarks that I mentioned this morning. You’ll find the exchange in the last two minutes of the WISH-TV clip. Indeed-ly doodly, just as reader Christopher e-mailed me, Chelsea’s response to how she survived the “sniper fire” was to disingenously pay tribute to the military and Secret Service. She then wriggles out of the uncomfortable situation by chastising the questioner for focusing on the past instead of on “today” and how her heroic mom would fix the Balkans in the present. Because, like, you know, um, her mom has unquestioned, courageous leadership experience on these issues, you know.

Transcript:

QUESTION: Can you tell us how you and your mom avoided the sniper fire in Bosnia in March of 1996 (audience members groan)?

CHELSEA: Uh, we were well-protected by our United States military and the United States Secret Service.

QUESTION: Was there sniper fire going out at the airport? Did they have to cancel the welcoming ceremony there at the airport?

CHELSEA: Well sir, (nervous laugh), I think that my mother’s on record as having talked about this and I support what she said. I mean, I was there as well and I’m so honored (puts hand to heart) that I was there (audience applause).

But sir, I mean, I’m happy to talk about the current state of the Balkans and what my mother says about the current state of affairs because I think that most people here are interested in what we’re going to do about the world today and the world tomorrow.

Poor girl. Poor, poor girl. She can’t help her DNA.

But you know, it’s only nature that Clintonian whoppers will slip out of the mouth when you, your mom, and your dad speak “millions of words a day!”

***

Speaking of which, here’s mom “misspeaking” again.

***

Update: They must all be “sleep-deprived.”

    Look, the poor girl gets a couple hundred thousand a year to - uh, well, do something and she can’t be bothered with minutae, especially since mom is running for President.
    I’m so honored too, I just ran past snipers to and from the break room for coffe, and I’d like to thank the Secret Service, as well as focus on the present.

    Incredible. She weasles her way out of it exacly like her parents would. The only thing that is missing is “I dont recall.” Could this be some hereditary trait or is it learned behavior?

    Millions of words a day.

    Assuming ‘millions’ is a minimum of 2 million words a day. And assuming words are spoken non-stop for 18 hours a day (only sleeping or not talking 6 hours a day).

    That is 1851 words a minute.

    The world record for fast talking is about 637 words a minute.

    Is Hillary claiming to be the new Fastest Talker World record holder?

    How dare you say such a thing.

    oh, and by the way, Chelsea was in mortal danger on September 11th while in New York just blocks away and had to dodge falling debris from the WTC collapse. Her mom said so.

    ….. what? You don’t believe that either?

    How dare you question her version of events. Do you think that Hillary just makes crap up?

    I can’t stop laughing!!! Just when I had hope that a Clinton would overcome the lure of dis-honesty, those hopes were dashed. So much for the message of “HOPE.”

    The Clinton’s and offspring, are proving to be not only good at lying, but also dodging…let’s look…

    Draft-dodging

    I didn’t inhale-dodging

    I didn’t have sex with that woman-dodging

    What the meaning of is, is-dodging

    Why have so many people associated with you died-dodging

    Healthcare reform question-dodging

    Bill O’Reilly Show-dodging

    Fox Debate-dodging

    Bagdad Airport sniper and roadside bomb-dodging

    Bosnian visit sniper bullet-dodging

    Did your mother lie about the Bosnian Sniping…you were there…we have video showing there was no sniping…support your mother’s new lie-dodging

    As you can see, a family of artful dodgers…but that’s okay…they are Democrat’s. It’s not fair to hold them up to, nor have any moral standards. Afterall, the ends justify the means, right?

    How her Mother would fix the Balkans today???? Just who the dickens does she think
    put our troops in there? He showed up in a pilots jacket and tried to act like he was
    “just one of the troops” with the military and a friend of our sons wrote about how
    insulted they were and how some of them were told to act enthusiastic. Now she’s
    going to fix the Balkans. These people are beyond believable.

    How? Because their parents taught them well.

    Since Hillary has the “Exageration” flair going on her Personal history… someone should write Mock Stories that sound like something she would make up…

    …like When Hillary had to take the controls of Air Force One and personally land it when the whole Air-force Staff were assaulted and killed by GOP Right Wingers who infiltrated the press corp. Oh Yea..did I mention that she fought off and took into custody all 20 of the GOP infiltraters using her skills as a Ninja and Advanced hand to hand training she received while studying to be a British SIS officer in her free time between working on a Cure for Cancer, and running the Food Aid to Africa Program.

    Even more ironic is that her bachelors is in History and her Masters is in International Affairs.

    Yet, she cannot recall what happened in a foreign country when she was there… hmmm… interesting.

    A little Andy Rooney here: Have you ever noticed how when liberals get caught like a rat in a trap, it’s always “old news”, “in the past”, and then it’s “let’s move on.” They do have a certain constancy to them.

    Next generation of Clinton liars is making herself known. Just saw her reply to a question a questioner at a Town Hall meeting. She’s just as arrogant and rude as her parents.

    Masters is in International Affairs

    With that Master’s is she qualified to be appointed an Ambassador to a country or possibly the U.N. if her mother is elected POTUS? Gads, now that is scary!

    Thank you again Ross Perot

    Poor kid. She always reminds me of the 20 year old who has to babysit at the kiddie table on Thanksgiving, while the adults get to drink wine at the big table.

    And what’s with the Tyra Bank’s audience (cheering for anything) behind her? This batch would break out in an ovation if Chelsea simply said, “I like gum.”

    I believe the clinical term for this phenomenon is a “moveondotorgasm.”

    Quite true!
    Thinking about it, applies to Bush family as much. Doncha think? No, notsaying Bush’s are worse than Clintons. Just that they are BAD for America, in their own special ways. But again, well said.

    “human shield child”?

    Come on, that’s quite a stretch. She’s been an adult for quite some time now, and if she wants to carry water for her mom, that’s perfectly normal. Especially since the misrepresentation and spin control apparently comes with the Clinton genes.
