For those who remember when Geraldo Rivera did actual investigative journalism, his excellent work would often get marred by his shameless self-promotion. On more than one occasion, he would interject in his reports that his life was actually in danger while investigating mostly mundane controversies.

The only other time she theoretically was at high risk (as the saying goes) was when Billy nearly gave her that social disease, by proxy, after an orgiastic weekend among Hollywood friends shortly after selling them some overpriced coffee. That's assuming Billy has genuinely ever been closer to Hillary than has Web Hubbell; an assumption which I certainly won't make. Not on a full stomach, at least....
Happy New Year to all (even to the Clinton's true believers many of whom seem scruffier and more dazed nowadays than Saddam when finally pulled out of his underground outpost).

Hillary can, IMO, claim her status as co-president represents some level of experience for the presidency. She was obviously not a normal first lady.
But the problem with this vein of self promotion is what she accomplished, or did not in that role. The record includes failure (HillaryCare) and scandal (FBI files) and not much else.

I was part of Task Force Eagle in Bosnia during that time. I was part of then MG William Nash, 1st Armored Division, security detail. I take two issues with her statement. First and most blatantly checkable, was the year she states. She's a year off. It was actually March 1996. We didn't go into Bosnia until after the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords, which was in the Fall of 1995, (November, I think). I remember it because it ruined Christmas for just about the entire 2nd Brigade, 1st AD, in Baumholder Germany. Then President Clinton actually came to Baumholder right before Christmas to make a speech. It should be easily checkable.
Secondly, she landed at Eagle Base in Tuzla, Bosnia in a C-17. At that time, it was the most secure location in country, being an old Russian MIG base. The compound was very well fortified and snipers weren't an issue for us. They never were during the entire mission, except maybe in Sarajevo. Our biggest issue was landmines, again, not an issue at Eagle Base as it had been very well cleared.
Shameless self promotion is just stupid when things like that are so easily verifiable.

Y'all need to make up your minds. In the 1990's she was accused of being the bitch who secretly ran the country. Now you want to claim she was another Laura Bush eating bon bons by the fire. You can not have it both ways.

This is a lot worse than the Sir Edmund Hillary canard she grafted onto the American people a few years ago. Here she's trying to dupe the electorate into believing she's made of Presidential timber. She's clearly not and I'm not sure what bothers me most, that she would try to dupe us so obviously or that she thinks she can get that whopper passed through without criticism.
I don't like any of the Dem candidates but I'd suffer through two Obama terms than a single Hillary 'moment.'

Treat yourself to the relevant quotation from Hillary's book, "Living History," in which she describes just how dangerous the situation truly was. It's posted at Sweetness and Light.

The above two quotes are in response to one from Barack Obama:

However, she does need to dial back on the supposed eight years of experience. When Bill's bimbo scandals really started hitting the press, I doubt seriously that she and Bill were discussing much of anything, much less national policy. Perhaps she should scale her claim back to, say, four years of experience?

I guess the idea here is we're supposed to believe Hillary has guts. Well, we already knew that. It takes guts to go on national TV and tell the world that the rumors about your husband's affair with a White House intern are false and part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
It's just unfortunate she's expended so much of her courage in support of her husband's career, not as an ambassador for America's interests abroad but as an enabler for his philandering at home.

As far as lying, it is a Rat qualification of the highest order, after all the media water carriers marvel at the ease with which Monicas' boyfriend was able to lie effortlessly.
Fortunately for us the Witch hasn't the ability of Monicas boyfriend to make 1/2 of the American people like being told a pack of lies.
Unfortunately 1/2 of the American people could care a less they just want the presents Herself has put under the tree for them.
Chrissy Mathews, Georgy Siffalous, and the other Clintoon lackeys in the MSM will carry the water for Herself no matter how large the Lie. It's the new medias job to make sure ample amounts of it get spilled on the witch so that we may get to see her meltdown. I've got the popcorn made , Bring Her On. If she does win the election she will irrevocably damage the Rat party if Nancy and Harry don't do so before her.

McCain gets the most negative press of all the candidates.
"Just five candidates have been the focus of more than half of all the coverage.
Hillary Clinton received the most (17% of stories), though she can thank the overwhelming and largely negative attention of conservative talk radio hosts for much of the edge in total volume.
Barack Obama was next (14%), with Republicans Giuliani, McCain, and Romney measurably behind (9% and 7% and 5% respectively). As for the rest of the pack, Elizabeth Edwards, a candidate spouse, received more attention than 10 of them, and nearly as much as her husband.
Democrats generally got more coverage than Republicans, (49% of stories vs. 31%.) One reason was that major Democratic candidates began announcing their candidacies a month earlier than key Republicans, but that alone does not fully explain the discrepancy.
Overall, Democrats also have received more positive coverage than Republicans (35% of stories vs. 26%), while Republicans received more negative coverage than Democrats (35% vs. 26%). For both parties, a plurality of stories, 39%, were neutral or balanced. "
Another study might support the idea that Hillary gets poor press, but this one will instantly get discarded by liberals, as it also concluded that "Faux News" was more balanced than the alphabet networks:
http://www.cmpa.com/releases/07_12_21_Election_...
Blogger John Hawkins said it best last week:
"In the last election, the press devoted endless hours to the "George Bush went AWOL" story that, in the end, turned out to be a dry hole that Dan Rather's career fell into.
Yet, with Hillary, all of the scandals she was involved in during the eighties and nineties are treated as boring, old news. The numerous fund raising scandals that surround her? Yawn. Whether her husband, who is a sex addict prowling the country looking for new conquests, is having affairs? The press is willing to have reporters stake out Mitt Romney's lawn, but not Bill Clinton's hotel rooms on the road.
Moreover, even when Hillary does something as on its face laughable as claim credit for good things that Bill did in the nineties just because she was married to him, the press takes her seriously. Typically, her interviews are nothing but puff pieces and any sort of attempt to actually get her to answer uncomfortable questions are talked about as if they're staggeringly unfair.
In other words, Hillary has nothing going for her beyond the fact that her husband is Bill Clinton and the media babies her along. Now, there are even complaints about that? Give me a break."

I do not think that taking one incorrect statement about a politician is justified in calling the politician a liar. With that said, you have to take the totality of all the untruths spoken by the Senator from New York into account. I must side with the people that HRC is a liar and does not deserve any consideration for politcal office. Is Senator Obama the best Democratic choice? I think the answer is no.... He does not have experience with the big issues... Does John " I will sue everyone" Edwards deserve to win the nomination? NO! I think that we have similar issues on the GOP side? Yes.... I personally have nothing against Mitt Romney... He is not my guy... I have thought from 2002 until now that the person that will win the Republican nomination is Rudy Guiliani... I know many people do not like him as a conservative, but he is a populast choice.. Name recognition and positive media exposure from 9/11.
But enough about my choices, lets get to the meat of the issue...
HRC is not a viable candidate and neither is Barrack Obama... The reason is plain simple, they will destroy each other and allow a non-frontrunner to take the nomination or they will supply enough ammunition to the GOP to cast doubts about themselves... Lets also keep in mind we are talking about a Clinton and they will find some dirt on Obama and release it in hopes of saving their own candidacy... HRC has enough negatives that a Tax collector could win in a one on one election against her...

I didn't question the event itself, just when it happened and how it happened. I know she went because I saw her but in 1996 not 1995 and there was no way there were snipers as the story alleges. I've posted on it below and will have some pictures up later tonight of Eagle base and the air strip she flew in on. Thanks for the mention!

And then it hit me:
Sen. Clinton really didn't know that the upcoming elections were for individual seats in Pakistan's parliament. She actually believed that Bhutto, Nawaz and Musharraf would be facing off as individual candidates for leadership of the country in the upcoming elections.
Sen. Clinton didn't know that Nawaz Sharif isn't allowed to run for office in Pakistan because of a felony conviction. She didn't know that President Musharraf won't be on the ballot because he's already been elected.
Sen. Clinton, a candidate for the leadership of the free world, apparently doesn't know the first thing about the country referred to by some as "the most dangerous place on earth." (Powerline)
The woman is a complete phony with nothing to offer us other than lies & deceit. Those responsible for tagging this woman as "the smartest woman on earth" do the rest of America's woman a real disservice. Hillary is a media creation, on her own she is nothing more than a common criminal with a husband that views all woman as a possible quick fix.
The Clinton's represent all that defines the ugly American; morally bankrupt, power hungry, a danger to anyone who dares get in their path. Shame on America for allowing such people to steal the spotlight from others whom have worked their way up the political ladder by taking the proper steps; knowing what we all know about these two, they shouldn't be given a moment of positive attention. Speaks volume of the Democrat Party.

Hillary Danger: International Woman of Mystery!
ANNOUNCER'S VOICE-OVER: "Tune in next week when Hillary Danger travels to Bosnia to take on a ruthless, genocidal dictator!"
(cut to preview scene. Hillary Danger, wearing a classy pink business suit, is involved in tough negotiations in the White House with Kim Jong-Il, Saddam Hussein, Boris Yeltsin, and Osama bin Laden)
HILLARY DANGER: You listen up, you pack of no-good, anti-American terrorists! I' m Hillary Danger, the smartest and most toughest woman in the world, and I'm telling you that I won't stand for any more of your crap!
KIM JONG-IL: Risten here, you stupid American! I'm going to buird nucrear weapons, and you can't stop me!
HILLARY DANGER (strides forward, grabs KIM JONG-IL by the shirt collar, and decks him with right hook): I eat little pussies like you for breakfast! Don't you f*** with ME, Hillary Danger, the smartest, toughest woman in the world!
(others cower back)
(aide steps in)
AIDE: Ms. Danger! The president needs you right away!
HILLARY DANGER: The president, or my country?
AIDE: The country, Ms. Danger.
HILLARY DANGER (glares at the other men in the room): You get off lucky... this time. America calls, and I go where there's danger! I never want to hear a peep out of any of you again, you get me? You cause America any more trouble, and you'll have ME, Hillary Danger, to answer to. (kicks Kim Jong-Il in the side and exits)
(cut to scene. An Air Force transport plane full of heavily armed Delta Force commandoes. They are checking their weapons. HILLARY DANGER is arguing with the Delta Force commander, a tough-looking Army lieutenant colonel)
HILLARY DANGER: Sergeant, this mission is too dangerous to risk the lives of you and your men. You've all got families. As a wife and mother, I know how important that is.
COLONEL: Mrs. Clinton---
HILLARY DANGER slaps the colonel, knocking him to the deck of the aircraft.
HILLARY DANGER: DON'T YOU EVER F***ING CALL ME THAT, YOU F***ING PIECE OF WORTHLESS S***! MY NAME IS HILLARY DANGER, THE SMARTEST AND TOUGHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD! I GO WHERE THE DANGER IS! IF YOU CALL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME, I'LL TELL MY HUSBAND AND HE'LL MAKE YOU SORRY!
JUMPMASTER: Ten seconds to green light!
HILLARY DANGER: (buckles her helmet) I'm taking this mission myself. I'll take care of Milostepanick and make him stop murdering those poor Serbs myself. I had lunch with his wife one time, so I know just how to handle him.
JUMP MASTER: Stand in the door!
(theme from "Wonder Woman" begins to play)
HILLARY DANGER: America needs me! GERONIMO! (leaps into space)
(COLONEL staggers to his feet, rubbing his jaw.)
JUMPMASTER: Why did she take a map of Bahrain? This is Bosnia!
COLONEL: Don't worry about it, sergeant. She's Hillary Danger, the toughest and smartest woman in the world. Thank God she's on our side!
ANNOUNCER: Tune in next week for another exciting episode of "Hillary Danger: International Woman of Mystery!"

Honestly, Teresa, you read like a SNL interview:
"Reporter: 'Tell me, Teresa, how do you justify defending a candidate who did under oath exactly what Scooter Libby did that landed him in jail? In a fair world, wouldn't your candidate also deserve to be prosecuted?'
"Teresa: 'There's a vast right-wing conspiracy paid for by Mitt Romney, attacking every Democratic candidate.'
"Reporter: 'But Ms. Clinton's recitation of "I can't recall..."?'
"Teresa: 'Karl Rove hoodwinked her into voting in favor of military action against Iraq.'
"Reporter: 'How deeply was Ms. Clinton involved in defrauding the Madison Guarantee Savings and Loan?'
"Teresa: 'At least we succeeded in Bosnia.'"
Hillary Clinton is the most thoroughly dishonest politician in American politics in my lifetime, and arguably as bad as any of the worst in history. Nobody with an ounce of common sense and a quarter-ounce of decency could possibly support her candidacy.
This is why the best you can come up with, Teresa, is to change the subject to something about which Hillary Clinton had not the slightest involvement.
