1. Hmmm. That doesn't come across as funny.
Maybe it was better in person.

22. Liars think their lies are 'funny'! or that everyone knows that they lie.
No big deal to them when they're caught. I bet Bill thought it was funny! Har! Har! Har!

2. NYTimes article
Maybe it seemed funny live. I don't find it funny though - sounds too much like Bush laughing off his blunders.

“I obviously just had a lapse and here I am safe and sound and proud of all our great accomplishments.”

174. Wow, I thought the same thing. How can they joke about the
flippant lie that floats as heroic while, those same truths are real and risk the lives of those caught in war or the in the shadows of war? How little their words mean to them when they spout off things that are not real to them, but so real to the people who are listening.

Ha-ha, yea, sniper fire....hahaha, weapons of mass destruction....hahahahahahaha.Oh what great fun to laugh off the desperate circumstances that are happening to ... oh well not me ....hahaha.

70. FFS, write to the mods
I've seen the c-word more from you and MF today than I've seen it for the whole of last month. No, I do not approve of anyone using but nor do I approve of your milking it as if it had anything to do with the primary campaign. Your complaints and thread hijacks about it, with all their repetitions of the word, are getting annoying and offensive in their own right.

Don't like the word being used on DU? Neither do I, so please quit repeating it! If I see one more of these I'm going to off on you with some choice gender neutral language of my own.

I'll be waiting for your video showing that Barack was in the pews when those "controversial" comments were said by his former pastor.

Might take you a while to go through more than 15 to 30 sec clips. Let's see, 30 + years of sermons, 3 times a week, at least an hour long.....and we get 2 0r 3 15 to 30 sec clips....lovely

6. Who in the world told her to make a joke about her big lie?
You can joke about bowling a 37 or something silly and it humanizes you, but I gotta think that drawing attention yet again to the thing everyone is mocking you about and trying yet again to laugh it off, can't be a good idea.

Bowling a 37 = self-deprication is funny.

Lying four times about taking sniper fire and then making light of it after being caught as a bald-faced embellisher = THUD.

real bullets by real snipers. Some are being hit. Some die. They have parents, spouses, children, siblings. They are not doing it for a photo op, and they are not lying about it. If THEY laugh and joke about it later, they earned that right. Sen Clinton has not.

If Bush had said it....you would probably have clearly seen how ridiculous it was immediately. This is humor? Hillary seems to be only a shell of the woman she used to be. Or maybe we just never REALLY knew her before. Now she is unravelling.

89. Her bowling comments on April 1 were funny
even though I don't think she's much in the comic timing department. But this is unfunny to all the people who felt lied to and misled because they took her remarks about Bosnia at face value. It would be like Bush coming on and joking that he was late because he 'got stuck in Iraq'. There's a sort of 'fuck you, I got away with it' vibe behind the humor.

Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 09:19 PM by DefenseLawyer
Number one, it's just not funny. Sniper fire is never funny. Getting caught telling a huge lie, never funny. Getting caught telling a huge lie ABOUT sniper fire? That's the daily double of not funny. Number two, it is stupid politically. She is drawing attention to the one thing that has hurt her more than anything in the last month. The last thing Hillary Clinton wants people to think about when they see her is "sniper fire", yet she immediately brands herself with it by bringing it up. And she appears to be making light of what most see as a serious question about her credibility. Number three, some people just can't tell a joke. She is one of those people. People that can't tell jokes should be smart enough not to attempt to tell them.

124. Oh yeah, this is real funny.
The judges ruled that troops under Milosevic's command shelled Sarajevo and directed sniper fire against civilians, spreading terror among the inhabitants as they queued for bread, went to market or were simply walking with their children.

"There was no safe place in Sarajevo. One could be killed and injured anywhere and anytime," Judge Patrick Robinson of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) said.

Unfortunately, I won't get home until tomorrow, so the damn phone will go unanswered when it rings at 3AM tonight, thousands will die and the terrorist will have won.

Darn. I hate when that happens.

17. Sort of like the humor
of Bush looking for WMDs under his desk, behind the drapes...etc etc. I don't find the comment amusing. Sorry. Guess I lack sense of Clinton-humor.

is covering up the extent of the Abu Grahib scandal. Those tapes Sy Hearsh is always talking about? With the kid being raped and the women screaming for their husbands to kill them, all of Congress and the Senate saw them, and had them buried. They are all in on the cover up. We could do worse then to fire the whole fucking lot of them Republican and Democrat alike.. But we're stuck so we play the hand we're dealt...

I've made more than my share of sniper jokes myself this week.

That said, I don't think she is helping herself with this, because she is making it officially ok with her to beat it into the ground.

I would say she shot herself in the foot on this, but that might have been the snipers...

82. here is the NYT article---i think she did good
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/03/clinton-jokes-about-her-tuzla-tale/

……….But she used her entrance to try to defuse the recent unpleasantness about her fictional account of flying into Tuzla, Bosnia, under sniper fire in 1996, a tale that was discredited by witnesses and news footage.

“I was worried I wasn’t going to make it,” she said as she walked onto the set (to the theme from “Rocky”). “I was pinned down by sniper fire at the Burbank airport.”

She dismissed the controversy over her remarks and said, “I obviously just had a lapse and here I am safe and sound and proud of all our great accomplishments.”

There were a couple of gags about her 3 a.m. phone call advertisements, including a short taped segment at the top of the show with Mrs. Clinton picking up the phone in a darkened room to hear Mr. Leno begging her to appear on his show. She looked into the camera and said, “We’ve got to get caller I.D.”

One other light moment came when Mr. Leno asked her about her daughter Chelsea’s role in the campaign. He recalled Chelsea’s recent statement that she thought her mother would make a better president than her father.

“She’s such a smart young woman,” Mrs. Clinton deadpanned.

She consistently shows her character flaws.
Not recognizing the gravity of her sniper fire lie is why she has yet owned up to it and honestly apologized.
Waving it off with excuses or making light of it with jokes shows a disconnect.

I'll have to watch Leno tonight and see if I change my view.

Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 09:39 PM by rainbow4321
1) Re-tool/re-release the 3 am ad that got you trashed in the media for DAYS on end.

2) Go ahead and tell lie upon lie to cover up the original Bosnia lie...ignore the fact that there are tens of thousands of troops REALLY dodging sniper fire each day that they are over in the war zones

3) Go ahead and bring up the "sniper fire" deal again but do it as a ***joke*** on Jay Leno, it'll go over great..really, it will. Don't worry that snipergate was startng to disappear from MSM--fire it up again. (is she this desperate/broke that ANY mention on the news is a good thing--free publicity, right?)



I don't supposed she asked Leno if he could lend her a few bucks at the end of her interview? Cuz that is about in line with all of the above.


Guess she better cut those consultants yet ANOTHER big check to fix THIS "HRC is an idiot" news cycle item.

118. Children died from sniper fire in Bosnia.
According to an article I read snipers were paid bonuses to kill children. I have friends who were in Bosnia during the war. They told me of a couple who had lost a child to snipers. Yeah, sniper fire is really something to LIE AND JOKE about.

The Clintons are without decency and Clark (who was the Supreme Allied Commander in NATO) should call them on this.

145. It's sad really . . .
She lied to prove that she had experience and to get sympathy from others. Now that the truth has come out, she looks stupid and untrustworthy.

PS. YOU DON'T LIE ABOUT SOMEONE TRYING TO KILL YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER! It may be funny but not in a good way. She is a serious disappointment and that's coming from someone who used to like the woman,

It goes like this..you tell one lie, then you gotta pile another on top of that one. to cover the first and so on..

It has happened to me a couple of times...It sucks..(so I try to not lie. )

Some reasons why sniper fire is UNFUNNY...especially self servedly lying about it to enhance your "Experience" claim.
