1. Ouch!
ABC's coverage was harsh, but seemed fair.
    GIBSON: "A story she's told a number of times, to enhance her foreign policy credentials, has been found to be exaggerated."

    DAVID WRIGHT: "she's been accused of padding her resume" ... "she expressed her determination to stay in, to the bitter end"

    JAKE TAPPER: "The Tonya Harding Option: the idea that Clinton can't win the nomination on her own, so she has to knee-cap her competitor."
(Well, Tonya, it's already bitter, so now we just need the end.)

But ABC and the media still seem to let the Clinton campaign skate on so much hypocrisy. I suppose, though, that there is SO MUCH hypocrisy and distortion, that they can't possibly catch and cover it all.

e.g.
    HILLARY: "There are some who want this race to be over. ... Well, I disagree. I think everyone deserves to be heard."
Might the news media not point out that, when they perceived themselves as the inevitable victors, Hillary and her campaign were predicting that the race would be over by Feb. 5th? Where was Hillary's concern for all those post-Feb 5th states, then?

17. No one says it was Disneyland ...
... but only one person said "running head-down, under sniper fire, for the cars" and that the tarmac ceremony had to be cancelled. All of which has been proven false, and slightly nonsensical.

18. Yeah... but it's the video footage that really tells the story
The secretary can corroborate all he wants but he can't match his statements to the facts on the "video" ground. That's what people don't understand. For everyone who speaks up on behalf of Clinton there's ten people who tell a different story, there are ten different cameras that corroborate the stories of the ten people who say it didn't happen the way Clinton says it did.

She didn't mis-speak. She lied to us. If she said it happened a certain way once then she misspoke but come on... four different occasions? Her fits and starts remind of the president we already have. He lies with impunity. Time will tell if she does as well.

2. She LIED
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 12:26 AM by BecauseBushSaysSo
Why can't they say that word? As a matter of fact she lied about this trip 3 times. Each time the trip got more dangerous. There were even school kids there when SHE landed the plane. Oops I misspoke

16. Tapper is such a miserable ass "a growing...quiet number of Democrats"
Give me a break you RW hack. I'm not a Hillary supporter but this, aside from his inventing the "Tonya Harding" nonsense, is useless.
