Misspoke?

I recall back in 1965, when I was a kid in Ohio, I was on a ship when a man fell overboard. I helped throw a line to him and got him back on ship, saving his life.

Wait. Ohio? Ship? Saved a life? Let's see ~ I WAS in Ohio in 1965. That's true. I have been on a ship. So that's true. So, maybe I didn't see a man fall overboard, and maybe I didn't save anybody... I just "misspoke".

Hillary Clinton says she misspoke about the sniper fire in Bosnia. "Misspoke". Let's look at that word, and compare it to "lie".

I ask you, did she "mistakenly" express some event? Did she somehow mix one event with another? Was it that she was confused about the exact happenings of that trip?

NO! She DID go to Bosnia. She WAS with Military escort. Chelsey WAS with her. But the story itself, about the sniper fire, was a LIE. It NEVER happened, in any way, shape, or form. It was a LIE, with the intent to deceive and give a misleading impression of how she was under fire and could handle a 3 am call! BULL-SHIT.

Bill lied to the American people, ON AIR. Bill lied to Congress, under oath. Hillary lied about the Whitewater documents. She lied about snipers! The Clintons are Liars! (Sorry Chelsey, I don't know about you yet.) And that friggin' giggle when Hillary was caught in it....... gag me with a spoon!!!

For all those who HAVE been under fire - I salute you. YOU know what it is really like (and I share that). For anyone, let alone a potential Presidential candidate, to lie about that when others have died under such conditions.... BITCH! Yep, it pisses me off to no end. BITCH!
