The Political Bear

Published by bear

Understanding the Hillary Clinton political play book is not that hard, and in fact only consists of one rule-

Rule #1: If in doubt lie.

That is the only rule that is necessary to know. Throughout her time in politics, the theory of lie, lie, and some more has always been prominent, but at this point of her campaign Hillary is like a caged animal and nobody knows what she is going to do or say. Most political followers tend to be waiting for her to make a last minute attack on Barack, but she seems to trying to imbelish herself in the last several months using her only campaign rule to make the stories sound even bigger.

In a campaign speech last Monday Clinton said, “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
If I were a Clinton supporter that was at the speech, I would have to question the judgment of the secret service that would have accompanied her on that trip. That question would have laughed at however, because this week after taking a political beating in the blogosphere Hillary’s campaign recanted her story.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said she “misspoke” last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996.

I can’t wait to see Hillary lose, but since I already know her playbook (refer back to Rule #1 above) she is just a lot of fun to write about.

Update:

Second Update:
In response the difference in Hillary’s account and the reality of the Bosnia trip, she came out with a statement today. This was definitely Bill’s suggestion.

“I did make a mistake in talking about it the last time, and recently,” Clinton told reporters in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. “I made a mistake. I have a different memory. That happens. I’m human. For some people that’s a revelation.”

The difference in the reality is just to stark to believe. Maybe she needs some sort of mental testing. Anyone that can mistake being greeted by local girls to being hustled into cover under sniper fire, has a few screws loose someplace. Actually, that might make me like her a little more by explaining her horrible ideology of communism.
