"Clinton campaign is really pushing the blarney boat out" - she's gone off the deep end

But Hillary Clinton? Give me a break. In her own book “Living History”, as Alex Massie points out, she made no claim to have played a significant role.

But now the Clinton campaign is really pushing the blarney boat out. On March 4th, Terry McAuliffe, her campaign chairman, has gone the further that I can see. “We would not have peace today had it not for Hillary's hard work in Northern Ireland," he said on CNN on March 4th. Well, that’s certainly news to those who were there at the time.

1. it is all part of a carefully contrived strategy

to make the (bogus accusation of a) claim of "inventing the internet" pale by comparison, and make AG a shoo-in

:rofl:

3. Say anything if it means you can stay in the race

I've have never seen a candidate so desperate to be in the WH.

Its sad how she and Bill will trash their reputations on this mad quest thats already lost.

4. I'm guessing the Irish citizens

know whereof they speak. Hillary should be relieved that there's no video of her downing a bowl of Irish Stew or whatever she did while she was there.

Wait - that's too nasty. She DID represent our country, and she always showed us in a good light. She DID NOT help broker peace in Ireland, though.

5. Hmmm....lessee....

Hillary risked her life with sniper fire in Bosnia.

Hillary said she was named after the climber of Mt Everest, even though the event occured four years after Hillary was born.

And Hillary says she played a significant role in Ireland....

Uhhhh....whatever you say, Hillary! Just don't expect us to believe you....

I must say one thing for Hillary Clinton. She takes the stereotype of a politician talking out of both sides of mouth, triangulating, and lying through the teeth....and she makes it into a new art form. Typical politician? She is the kind that inspired that phrase.
Except she is sorta mean-spirited compared to her counterparts.

At one time I thought she would make a good president. This campaign has changed my view. If she gets the nomination fair and square, I will support her in November...unlike many of her cultists who would march lemming-style into the sea

6. did she seriously say she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary????
