Default Hillary caught "overstating" experiences in Bosnia

Hillary was caught exaggerating her 1996 trip to Bosnia, claiming that gunfire surrounded the landing, etc, etc. CBS brought it forward and it can be seen here:



I think it's more of a shame that, as the 1996 video shows, we sent Sinbad on a USO trip - do we care so little about our soldiers that we send Sinbad as entertainment? Couldn't we at least snag Arsenio Hall for that gig?

Last week the WJC library (donor names still undisclosed) released all 10,000 pages of Hillary's appointment records during the Clinton presidency. Four thousand of those pages were edited by campaign staff before release. But so far, analysis has yet to reveal anything indicating that she was as involved as she claims in the major accomplishments of Bill's administration.

Paul H. Dunn was a GREAT storyteller. Nobody but me sees heavy irony in his fall for telling tall tales? Who outed him? I'm sure the Mormons didn't care.

Funny. He was in fact outed by Mormons.

When the story broke, I remember they interviewed some missionaries in Texas who would take new missionaries up to a door in a certain neighborhood and knock on it. When an old man answered the door, they would say "This is the soldier that died in Paul Dunn's arms!". It was in fact Paul Dunn's friend from WWII. Nice little shock treatment to start the mission.

And yes, he was a terrific storyteller.

I for one would be curious to know what Bill Clintons "major accomplishments" in office were??

Unless of course you consider his feeble attempts to try to convince the good citizens of the US that he "did not have sexual relationships with that woman," or the fact the dude was impeached for sexual misconduct while he was president, a major accomplishment?

Good old Slick Willie, that's eight years we can't get back...........

Just look at Hillary's résumé. She's got a whole boatload of them on there.

Seeing as she's the torchbearer of American feminism, I've decided to follow her lead and list all of Flash's major coding projects of the last ten years on my own résumé. I'm also going to start using her tagline that I've "dedicated the last thirty-five years" of my life to the industry. I'm hoping no one will notice that I'm only thirty and don't actually know how to code.

What I found very appalling in the Paul Dunn thing was one of the brethern indicating that basically brother Dunn's lies had ultimately done a lot of good and he should be given some slack.

I have found all too often that dishonesty if done to further God's work is often seen by religious people as OK. This isn't a concept only relating to LDS people, but can be found in all religions.

It can be found in business and government too, but religion seems to be the place where it shouldn't be tolerated.
