Obviously, visuals can be highly damaging to a candidate, such as the mild images of Hillary at the Tuzla airport after she spoke of being greeted by gunfire. However, we don't often break down why. In this case: 1. The latter shot evokes the image of the threatened young children asleep in Clinton's 3AM "Who Can You Rely On?" ad. What the Tuzla imbroglio does is to raise the question whether Hillary...

In the "Better Late Than Never" category, CBS News has finally reported a misstatement by Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton my colleague Rich Noyes exposed last Tuesday. For those with short memories: In a speech on Iraq policy delivered Monday at George Washington University, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recalled facing “sniper fire” on her 1996 trip to Bosnia to...

It Lacked the Added Virtue of Being True

In support of her claim that eight years as First Lady qualify her as a foreign policy expert, Hillary Clinton has told dramatic stories about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire and having to run for cover. I'm not sure that, even if true, this would endow her with much diplomatic skill, but it has become clear that Hillary's story is false. That isn't remarkable. What is striking is that CBS News,...

Hillary Clinton's not-as-dangerous-as-advertised trip to Bosnia twelve years ago, discussed here and elsewhere last week, has hit the big-time, and I expect the damage will be considerable: It's easy to understand, there's compelling video (catnip for TV producers), and it undermines her central pitch that her first-lady experience makes her a suitable commander-in-chief. After a bad couple of weeks...

David Paterson just can't stop with the revelations : He's had an affair! He's used pot! Oh, and coke! Er, and perhaps misappropriated campaign funds! Pretty soon we're going to find out he's not really blind. Oh, and he once killed a man... with his mind. In other news, Hillary Clinton "misspoke" about dodging bullets in Bosnia. She also cannot kill a man with her mind. Though she has tried.

Is telling the truth and respecting the intelligence of your audience a disqualifier for the Democrat presidential nomination? And where the hell was CBS news between 1993 and 2001? They could have run one of these every night.

"That is what happened" revisited -- Clinton keeps tripping over what she said and keeps saying about the trip to Tuzla

Well, Clinton brought this on herself. She's the one who told us about her foreign policy experience comparing herself to John McCain. She's the one told us a dramatic, but now discredited, story about Tuzla with the emphatic words, "That is what happened." She's the one who keeps this campaign going even though she can't win. This controversy has seriously damaged Clinton's credibility. Olbermann...

Bosnians beat Sinbad to the punch on Clinton in Tuzla

Hillary Clinton and her misstated trip to Tuzla have made headlines in the United States of late, but in the Balkans, it's all old news. Back in early January, former member of the Bosnian presidency, Kresimir Zubak, was reported to have called her story of her arrival in the Bosnian city, sniper fire and all, completely false (article here if you read Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian). Clinton's Tuzla trip...

No sniper fire. No running to cars. Just a pretty laid back trip. Still, the Clinton camp has to be wincing about this… Here’s what she had to say about it today to an editorial board… “Now let me tell you what I can remember, OK — because what I was told was that we had to land [...]

This is absolutely hillaryous! More here: The Clinton campaign says Senator Hillary Clinton may have “misspoke” recently when she said she had to evade sniper fire when she was visiting Bosnia in 1996 as first lady. She has been using the episode as an example of her foreign policy bona fides. “I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia,” [...]
