No Lie Too Big

Jake Tapper of ABC News provides the laughter for the day, reporting that Bill Clinton claims that Hillary had once tried to enlist in the U.S. Army:

Possibly to avoid being one-upped on Indiana national security politics, former President Bill Clinton told a crowd in Columbus, Indiana, today that his wife had tried to join the Army. ...

"I remember when we were young, right out of law school, she went down and tried to join the Army and they said 'Your eyes are so bad, nobody will take you,'" he said, after heralding her record on issues of concern to the military, such as body armor and access to health care.

Hillary's own version, told once in 1994, is that it was the Marines she tried to enlist in.

Whether Bill's version, or Hillary's version, the Army, or the Marines, the idea that an anti-Vietnam War hardcore McGovernite fresh out of Yale Law School who's husband had dodged the draft would even consider enlisting in the military in the Vietnam era is absolutely ridiculous.

But, fortunately for the Clintons, no lie is too ridiculous to tell...

of course the Clintons lie. {"I did not sleep with that woman"]. But obama is much more sinister since his whole public persona is a fake. He pretends to be New, Fresh, Clean, untainted by Washingto corrpution. Yet he has a lot of old and ugly old-time Washington hacks and govt troublemakers on his side. Zbig brzezinski is old enough and bad enough for any candidate. Can the world or civilization survive another 4 years of Zbig???
