How to tell someone is a lying bastardess...
They say "I have no recollection" or "I don't remember" rather than "It DID or DIDN'T happen." (CONDI re: 9-11 Warning from Tenet)

Picture being at the beginning of a new job as she was back then. Your senses are turned up. You take notes. You absolutely positively would remember if someone tells you (or if no one tells you) that someone is going to attack the US One way or the other - not that you don't remember if it did or didn't happen.

To believe this liar, you also have to believe her claim that Berger and Clinton didn't warn her either. That means she has no recollection of 4 people warning her of an attack.

I hope, with all my heart, that when we take over Congress that first on the agenda is getting rid of this bastardess. I have hated her from the very second she said "Yes, we knew there might be a highjacking, but we thought it would be a regular highjacking." And she did absolutely nothing to guard the country against a regular highjacking. If those guys hadn't gotten on the planes - there would have been no 9-11.

1. Interesting
I guess that makes Hillary Clinton a "lying bastardess".

Seriously, people in politics use the phrase all the time. They use it to protect themselves from the hyperactive political climate where every statement you've ever made can come back to haunt you.

2. if the shoe fits...
Of course people in politics use the phrase all the time, and, with the rarest of exceptions, they are lying when they do so.

She used the phrase repeatedly during the Whitewater investigations.

5. Well, i would have to know what the questions were. If they
were financial details, I give her a pass. But, if they were substantive, you are right - she was probably lying too.

All I know is that if you were on a new, important job, like CONdi was, than you don't have 4 freakin people warn you of an attack and not remember whether it happened or it didn't. If you don't - something is very wrong with you.
