Did Hillary Clinton Risk the Life of an 8 Year Old For a Photo-Op? No. Hillary Clinton did not risk the life of an 8 year old for a photo opportunity in Bosnia in 1996. She also didn't risk the life of her only daughter by making her stand under withering sniper fire on the tarmac in Tuzla so 12 years later she could burnish her foreign policy credentials by claiming her plane landed amid gunfire...

Many pundits and media commentators made a fuss in 2006, calling that election the YouTube election. For years anyone with a video camera could capture pols in embarrassing moments, but if the video was never shared with others, or if the gatekeepers in television news didn't deem it "newsworthy," few would see it. YouTube eliminated the monopoly of the gatekeepers, and both campaigns and those who...

Outrageous! A new feature about the outrages, offensives to dignity, horrible immoralities, and otherwise horrendulosities that keep political partisans up at night. Outrage number one: "I am writing because I am very troubled regarding the media's unbalanced reporting on the Presidential election. After days reporting on something Obama's pastor said, you fail to cover an outright lie from Hillary...

It looks like Hillary's tale of her courage under fire in Bosnia has turned into the equivalent of Al Gore's claim that he invented the Internet. (Note to Bob Somerby : I know Gore never really claimed that, but bear with me.) Michael Dobbs, who writes the WaPo 's Fact Checker column, gives her story a thorough examination --complete with photographic evidence--and finds it worthy of the dreaded Four...

When the National Archives released more than 11,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's daily schedule during her First Lady days last week, the press was pissy because much of it was heavily redacted, and boring to boot. "She received a gift basket sometime between 3:45 and 4:35 p.m., if all went according to schedule," the Washington Post sniped about the schedule that Newsday described as "bland, sanitized."...

The MSM has descended full throttle into the controversy over Hillary Clinton's 1996 trip to Bosnia, generated by the video above which demonstrates the inconsistencies between the former first lady's account of her experience and what actually appears to have happened. Last night, CBS took it one step further (below left), with a reporter who accompanied Clinton on the trip confirming...

There’s this: Indeed, just a few days ago, Clinton said, “I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the First Lady. That's where we went. I [...]

Following up on an item from a week or so ago, Hillary Clinton has actively touted a 1996 trip to Bosnia as evidence of her foreign policy background. Sinbad, a comedian who traveled with the then-First Lady for this trip, raised questions about the accuracy of Clinton's version of events, but the candidate and the [...]

In general I’ve little interest in the Hillary Clinton-bashing pervasive in the men’s and fathers’ movement. One example of Hillary’s alleged misdeeds which is often cited by men’s activists is the “No woman is illegal” incident. It occurred while Clinton was campaigning in Nevada in January and is based on the following from the Las [...]

Was Sinbad right? Wait until the very end of the video when she describes how there was no greeting ceremony and they had to run to their cars. Listen, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt here because as First Lady she had to make a lot of trips and perhaps she’s remembering some other [...]

… Sinbad is “a comedian.” (Although we’re actually giving her the benefit of the doubt on that one.) As for the rest of Hillary's facts, well, you be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOsGo_HWP-c

At various times during the campaign, Hillary Clinton has recounted the alleged danger she faced during a visit to Bosnia in the `90s. As the Washington Post's Fact Checker discovers, it ain't necessarily so: As a reporter who visited Bosnia soon after the December 1995 Dayton Peace agreement, I can attest that the physical risks were minimal [...]
