Hillary to Bill: Knock it off on Bosnia
By Alexander Mooney

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. 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, "I misstated it, you said I misstated it, but you got to let me handle it because you don't remember it, either.' ... I said, 'Yes, ma'am,'" Bill Clinton said in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The comments follow those he made in Boonville, Indiana, on 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."...

***

Responding to the former president's comments, Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer said, "Sen. Clinton appreciates her husband standing up for her, but this was her mistake, and she takes responsibility for it."

When asked to comment on Bill Clinton's claim about his wife's Bosnia trip, Sen. Barack Obama, appearing at an event in Indianapolis, Indiana, said only, "I will let the Clintons explain Bosnia."

4. Sometimes, knowing how smart as he is, it's the only reason I can think of! Or...
as speculated downthread, some kind of result of his heart surgery.

2. 'you don't remember it either' (?) Maybe dodging gunfire is normal in the Clinton home?

3. He seems to have gone plumb loco - maybe
partly because we know he hated to leave the White House,
and
maybe some of it has to do with his bi pass surgery.

It has been said that the surgery sometimes has psychological affects.

Maybe he has a little hardening of the arteries in his brain.

I used to think so highly of him, but maybe now am seeing him for what
he really is.

I thought he was a friend to the African Americans, but what did he do?

Pushed the horrible 3 strikes and you're out.

When he was governor, he refused to prevent the execution of a mentally retarded
black man. In fact, he rushed back to Arkansas to witness it.

Maybe things were a little better than with the GOP, but still things for the African Americans
remained stagnant, while things for others did not.

5. She wants Bill to go back to collecting bribes and influence peddling to pad her bank account.
