ABC News, which first broke video of Clinton's actual Bosnia landing, now reports that Bill Clinton has been defending his wife's handling of the blunder, but has been flubbing the facts as well, while attempting to downplay his wife's political fumble in what they call a bit of "revisionist history."
AMERICAblog's John Aravosis calls Bill Clinton's comments an "outright lie," and adds:
Hillary actually "misspoke" four times over four months. Then the campaign had their surrogates and press staff fan out in order to defend Hillary's lie as the truth. Now repeated members of the Clinton campaign have claimed that Hillary simply misspoke "once." It's a flat-out lie. They know it's a lie. But they seem to think that you're so stupid, you won't notice. Amazing.
The New Republic's Jason Zengerle says:
It looks like Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama isn't the only thing the Clintons can't let go of.
Meanwhile, over at the conservative Commentary's blog, Jennifer Rubin asks:
Does he want his wife to lose? Maybe he’s a hopeless, pathological fabulist. Or maybe he just doesn’t understand how hard it is to get away with easily fact-checked lies in a 24/7 news environment.
