Now that Hillary has been nailed in an outright fabrication of her role in Bosnia, it is time to remind ourselves of another, even more galling fantasy that Hillary tried to sell the voters.
After 9-11, Hillary had a problem. New Yorkers were desperately focused on their own needs for protection and they were saddled with a Senator who was not one of them — an Arkansan or was it a Chicagoan?
Interviewed on the Today Show one week after 9-11, she spun an elaborate yarn. The kindest thing we could say was that it was a fantasy. Or a fabrication.
She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9-11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk Magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”
So why did Hillary make up the story about Chelsea? Most likely to was because her co-Senator (and implicit rival for the voter’s affection), a real New Yorker Chuck Schumer spoke of his daughter, who attended Stuyvesant High School (Dick’s alma mater) located next to the Trade Center, being at real risk on 9-11. Hillary needed to make herself part of the scene.
She invented the entire story on national television, the Today Show, and didn’t blink an eye.
Her fabrication on the Today Show was no unique foray. It is her standard M.O. It gives us pause in evaluating all of her stories and calls into question her entire credibility.

We all make mistakes; that is a fact of life; it is the response to the mistake that counts. I think that she is showing signs and symptoms of a mental breakdown……she can see the prize, but will never win the cigar.
People don’t mistake accepting flowers and a poem from a child and greeting military personnel from running away from sniper fire with their child in harms way. This was not a mental breakdown. This was someone using dishonesty to bolster her Presidential credibility. Granted she does now appear to be having a mental unraveling because her defeat is all over the news as is her “misstatement.”
How embarrassing….I hope the democratic leadership puts an end to this misery. It will only get worse now.
On Fox news last night she indicated it is “Obama’s” resistance to a revote in Michigan and Florida that is causing voters to be disenfranchised! I recall it to be a “deal” the entire DNC agreed to PRIOR to the primaries. Does Hilary really think we are that “forgetful”! Also, her threats this morning to the superdelegates make me wonder is she really going to take this long tedious thing to the convention floor? That is what she indicated on the Greta show last night. Brother! Democratic leadership PLEASE do something!
Hillary is going to “milk this political cow” until the udders are about to detached. The longer she prolongs the invetiable, the more her “war chest”gathers in “dollars.” She has already lost the nomination, but continues to financially reap the benefits of running. One can never acquire enough money………even Hillary.
the florida democratic representatives have acted like the ultimate, stereotypical yuppies in that they wanted to thumb their noses at the rules and be more of a “voice” in the primary…now that the rules are being enforced, they don’t want to be held accountable for their decision…bill nelson now feels that the voters’ votes should count and wants special privelges to erase the previous decision to not follow rules…hillary fabricates stories and does not want to be held accountable…the democrat party from florida does not want to held accountable for their actions…maybe, just maybe this is the year that honesty and integrity finally mean something and voters from both parties stand up and say “enough”?…people from the state of new york could do us all a favor and vote for someone other than hillary if she does not get the nomination and her senate term up…what was that she said?…oh yea…”it takes a village”
drmike………You are right……it does take a village……a “village idiot.”
