Hillary says she uses Millions of words every day to defend her Bosnia "misstatement" (the math) |
|
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 08:22 PM by Johnny__Motown
This is a shameless waste of a thread but I want to call out the exaggeration that she used to defend another exaggeration.
Millions of words in a day....
24 hours in a day, times 60 minutes in each hour times 60 seconds in each minute gives us 86,400 seconds in a day.
24 X 60 = 1,440 1440 X 60 = 86,400
If you spoke ten words a second every second of the day you would still only use 864,000 words in a day. So to use Millions (plural) you need to speak at least 2 millions words in a day or nearly 30 words a second every second of the day.
Yes, it is a worthless "gotcha" that isn't worth the electrons it took to send across the internets. I just can't help myself sometimes.
I apologize to the Clinton supporters for this, I know how you hate math.

2. It isn't about the hate |
|
Math has been proven to be sexist.
Sad, I know -- especially for 2008.

18. "I've told so many lies it's hard to keep up with them." |
|
It's amazing she told the truth about it, in a lying kind of way.

23. That is a good point, not quite a misstatement if it was written down and approved of ahead of time |

4. Millions of people use banks everyday .... |
|
.... so is it O.K. to rob a few of them ....
because if getting a kiss and poem from a little girl is misstatement about being shot at .... I figure robbing a bank is the same as "using it."

5. Raise your hand if the words "dodging sniper fire" have ever just slipped out of your mouth |
|
Happens to me all the time....you know, I talk to so many patients and co-workers each day that it just randomly comes out sometimes: "Hi..I just wanted to ask you a few questions before the doctor comes in to see you. Any problems since you last visit? Nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, dodging sniper fire?"

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around that one.

13. Here's a question for HRC "given that you have spoken sooo many words |
|
during this primary race, are we to take this current explanation to mean we shouldn't believe anything you have said so far--or could you at least tell us what percentage we are to believe"?

17. Only the big words actually matter. |

The smaller words don't count.

24. Yeah, I laughed as soon as I heard her say that. "millions" was obviously ridiculous. |
|
Gotta wonder about her memory, though, if she manufactured such a memory from nothing. Not sure she should be near the football, if she's prone to Walter Mitty delusions of grandeur and adventure.

25. It's actually only hundreds of thousands of words, |

since all of them are doublespeak.

26. The more I think about Hillary's making up the sniper fire story.... |
|
... the more I think it may grow a bit. I can't imagine it would go over too well w/ military personnel to hear a potential CIC making up tales like this.
