Clinton and her "Revelation"

Its funny how Senator Clinton just realizes that she made a mistake about her trip to Bosnia in claiming how she was under sniper fire back in 1996, but as the video was shown on CNN last night, she was shaking hands with the people of Bosnia happily smiling. I feel that something like that shouldn't be taken lightly. While watching CNN last night, the commentator said she "lied" about her trip. Talk about putting your foot in your mouth.

Yeah it's crappy that she exaggerated or "lied", people can get all indignant about it if they want (and I'm sure they will). I guess the thing that is stunning/hilarious to me is that there may have been the implication at some point by her or someone in her campaign that it would mean ANYTHING to this election if she had actually been under sniper fire. We have talked about the idea of "dumb" (or non-strategic) voters in class, well if anyone is out there thinking "Gosh, Hillary HAS been shot at more times than Obama..." then those must be the people we're talking about.
