Surely 'lie' is such a strong word. Don't you think that what she did was more in the line of an embellishment? A self-serving embellishment, mis-remembering the order and placement of events that occurred and conflating them with ones which she only wishes to have occurred. A self-serving precalculated embellishment in which she did not believe she would be contradicted by others armed with proof of the facts.

OK, so have it your way, she lied. But we must forgive her a bit of fabulism. She's under a lot of stress (it is tax time, you know).

I agree completely but your music selection made me laugh so hard when it suddenly started playing that there was a soda/nose incident. If you feel the waft of a tiny fist shaking in your general direction, that's me.

"What does it take to be called a liar if you are a democrat? Lying won't cut it. Being caught lying won't do the job. Being exposed as a liar on the vaunted youtube won't do the job. After Whitewater, Rezko, Wright, Sir Edmund, and Bosnia, I'm not convinced that anything hits the mark."

My only guess: Agreeing with a Republican.

After a weekend of NCAAmens and last night with NCAAwomens, watching Memphis, Tenn men and then Tenn women whup up everyone, my eyes are tired....
As to the chance that Al will come to the Dems rescue, let us consider this.
Hillary and Obama are like a pair of tigers in a cage. Cutting, drawing blood, not one willing or able to quit. Howard Dean sits idly by in his tall chair, waiting for the chance to be THE ONE again, Pelosi and her other Congressional cohort, pleading Be Nice, Now...and the Left Dems screaming for blood from the stands.
The Summer of 08 draws on to August, with the Super Delegates, the Smokers of the DNC all waiting to see who will emerge, cut, bloody but still standing.....No winner in sight, August is upon us.
ENTER BIG AL......Green Horse, Cap and trade Al. Offers up his selfless image of savior, the stands go wild. The Left Dems have a savior at hand. Geo Soros opens his wallet, the Congressional Dems swallow hard, the Super Delegates smile and the August Convention is on....Speech AL Speech Al
However, the Clintons are not finished nor is Obama. Cut and bruised, dead on thier feet, they rise once again. Old Bill says Out of my dead cold hand , will they take the election from Hillary. Obamas minions, money (whats left), rise to the occasion. The fight is on.....
Al has only his Greenies, Geo Soros, and the opportunity.
Hillary has her committed, Bill, owed Debts, guts and her desire.
Obama has the Left, money, committeds, the "young and impressionable" and Ms O.
Now who will win, Who will be the nominee. ?
My bet is:
NOT Al... Bill and Hillary have too much on him, the DNC Dems owe Bill too much.
NOT Obama.... He has too much divisive baggage and the DNC Dems, although they play footsie with the Left, are not about to sell thier souls to Code Pink.
HILARY WINS, bloody, but unbowed. Off to the Fall Campaign, after a rest in the hot sun of her beloved Florida....
Only to LOSE to our man McCain.
end

The Clintons raised lawyerly prevarication to an art form, and are accustomed to their willing accomplices, the mainstream press, giving them a wide berth.

Will they now start to "grow"? Will GC try to date Mo-Do? Will absentee convert to the Murtha school of geopolitical strategy (as a former Marine, he's probably already been to Okinawa)?

Stay tuned!

It can only be used in the KnownFact phrase "Bush lied, people died," or in its approved shorthand "Bushlied." Thought everyone knew that.

But its a little surprising when it pops up while you are talking to people. Definitely needs a work warning. Breaks the illusion that you are paying attention to people that you aren't

and if you were not you would know.
But if you don't know the difference between truth or lies, and don't care to know, then it doesn't matter. Is the woman unstable?

"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."

Rudy lied to his wife by having an affair.

Scooty Libby, while we may disagree with the verdict, was convicted in a court of law. That is a fact.

Ted Stevens is under investigation by the FBI and state for political corruption. Even Alaska Republicans are telling the media they believe he is guilty of some of the charges involving bribery and graft.

My point was that we shouldn't just throw stones at the Dems. If conservatives want to reclaim Congress and the White House, we need to reclaim our integrity. The Republican party brand has been tarnished by a continuing string of scandals, most real not imagined (Foley, Craig, Vitter being the most obvious). We need to clean house and clean up our act. That was my point.

"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."

-- Leonardo Da Vinci

My point was conservatives need to clean our own house and return to the Reagan era of honor and integrity.

I love it when a lie is called a lie. The NYT picked the perfect column to quote.

HOWEVER, as much as it pains me, I want to put in a word in the Hill-person's defense.

Although she is showing herself to be an inept campaigner, we all know she isn't stupid. At least I don't think she is. Anyway, assuming she is modestly intelligent, one is forced to conclude that she couldn't possibly have thought she could get away with that story.

So, why tell it? It doesn't make sense to conclude that she wanted to get caught, because there's nothing to gain from that.

I think that leaves only one option--she thought she was telling the truth. It is possible, in at least two ways.

First and probably most likely, Robert Novak suggested last night that it's likely she has told that story in private so many times that her memory has changed. She embellished it a bit each time, perhaps without realizing it. At this point in time, she does remember it the way she told it, resulting in her being caught in an impossible story.

There is even evidence that this might be the case, because in her book that she keeps saying "I wrote about it in my book," the story is basically just like the other observers say it was. No ducking to run into a hangar, no sniper fire. I might add that although it is true that if you've been shot at that you don't forget it (I sure haven't), but if you haven't been, it is probably not that hard to acquire a false memory of having the experience.

The other possibility is that she is remembering another incident, but that's highly unlikely, given that it most certainly would have been widely reported after the trip.

Given the several possibilities, Novak's analysis seems to be the only one that makes any sense at all. That, or she's suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's Disease or a brain tumor. Seriously.
