  • @ DeeperTruth -- If you're sooo impressed with Hillary...

    ...perhaps you can help her defend this long list of her lies that Dick Morris published yesterday. Not that I'm a fan of Mr. Morris either. But he DID work for the Clintons for many years, and if anyone has an keen insight into Hillary's so-called integrity -- it's him.

    Hillary’s Admitted Lies:

    • Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)

    • Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)

    • She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)

    • She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)

    Whoppers She Won't Confess To:

    • She didn't know about the FALN pardons.

    • She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.

    • Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.

    • She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.

    • She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.

    • She opposed NAFTA at the time.

    • She claimed to have organized “instrumental” meetings in Belfast and baldly asserted that she “helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland”—never mind that key negotiators dismissed her as “totally invisible,” “cheerleading,” and “a wee bit silly.”

    • She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.

    • She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.

    • The billing records showed up on their own.

    • She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.

    • She was always a Yankees fan.

    • She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).

    • She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

    • She claimed to have “helped start” the federal Children Health Insurance Program—never mind that the program’s original sponsors noted that Sen. Clinton fought the initial bill and had no role in writing the legislation.

    • She bragged that she was the “first” to call the disaster in Darfur “genocide”—never mind that several other senators had done so in 2004, while her first press statement referring to Darfur as “genocide” wasn’t until March 2006.

    Yes, sir, she's real "experienced" -- at lying, at least.
