Clinton "misspoke"

Hey, they're just words right? Not like they mean anything.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said she "misspoke" last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996. She later characterized the episode as a "misstatement" and a "minor blip."
...
"I went to 80 countries, you know. I gave contemporaneous accounts, I wrote about a lot of this in my book. You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things — millions of words a day — so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.
...
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a written statement that Clinton's Bosnia story "joins a growing list of instances in which Senator Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."

The Obama campaign statement also links to a CBS News video of the Bosnia trip posted on YouTube, which shows Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, walking across the tarmac from a large cargo plane, smiling and waving, and stopping to shake hands with Bosnia's acting president and greet an 8-year-old girl.

"This is something that the Obama campaign wants to push 'cause they have nothing positive to say about their candidate," [Clinton spokesman Howard] Wolfson said Monday.

That last quote really made me snort.

UPDATE: AMERICAblog points out that it wasn't just one time, it was at least 4 times. Interesting how she had to be caught before she corrected herself.

You know, maybe it's just me, because I have notoriously bad memory issues sometimes. But if I am going to talk publicly about an event that was most certainly recorded, I might be inclined to refresh my memories so I don't go saying something stupid. You'd think she's have access to Lexis Nexis. Or maybe her own FUCKING MEMOIRE.
