Hillary to Bill: Knock it off
Posted: 02:49 PM ET


(CNN) — Hillary Clinton wants her husband to quit talking about her trip to Bosnia in 1996, the former president said Friday.

"Hillary called me and said, 'You don't remember this. You weren't there, let me handle it.' I said, 'Yes ma'am," Clinton said, according to CNN affiliate WTHI, while touring the fire damage of a campaign office in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The comments follow those he made in Boonville, Indiana Thursday, when he strongly defended his wife over the recent coverage surrounding her 1996 Bosnia trip claims, saying the media acted as if she'd "robbed a bank."

"I got tickled the other day, a lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me, but there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995. Did y'all see all that? Oh, they blew it up," he said.

"You would have thought, you know, that she'd robbed a bank the way they carried on about this," he added. "And some of them when they're 60 they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 at night, too."

The comments, which the former president said unprompted, were quickly scrutinized, especially in light of they fact they included several falsehoods: the New York senator claimed to have landed under sniper fire during the Bosnia trip on more than one occasion — most recently during a mid-morning March 17 foreign policy address. She has also never formally "apologized" for the comments, according to the Associated Press. Crediting exhaustion, the presidential candidate did say she "misspoke."

1. When I'm 60, surely I'll have memories of ducking while sniper fire flies over my head, right???

No, Bill she didn't rob a bank. She simply fabricated a story out of thin air and repeated it several times and even when challenged on the story by Sinbad, chose to smear him rather than admit the fabrication. Not robbing a bank, no. You got me there. She did not have burglar relations with that country.

But to lie about her comments occurring "one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it" doesn't make things any better.

2. Well, I'm 61, and I don't have memories of ducking sniper fire ...

while walking 16 miles to school through blizzards, ducking dinosaurs every yard of the way (dinosaurs can't by ducked by the inch, only by the yard, Guy).

But then the damn dinsaurs never handed me any poems, either.

3. Sorry, but bil's a

fucking idiot if he thinks we'll buy that. I can't tell you how many peeps were in our community co-op today talkin' about seeing bil saying his wife was on a late show and she was tired and it happened just the one time..and she apologized.


Wasn't one of her "apologies" that she spoke milllions of words a day and she was bound to get some wrong? :silly:
