Sleep deprivation caused Hillary Clinton to lie about Bosnia
There you have it: Hillary Clinton says that sleep deprivation caused her to lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia. Guess she isn’t the sort of president we would want answering phones at 3 a.m.
But as Andrew Sullivan reports, Sen. Clinton actually made the same claim back in February and now wonders if she was sleep-deprived then.
He also digs in to Sen. Clinton’s quotation, ‘Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else … For the first time in 12 or so years I misspoke.’
Sullivan writes in The Atlantic (original emphasis):
Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else. This is close to clinical delusions of grandeur. Does she really think that most of the time she is above being human? Do you know any human being who hasn’t misspoken in the last twelve years once? Or would ever claim such a thing? I sure couldn’t. And this from a candidate whose most famous campaign ad rests on her ability to make national security judgments at 3 am!
He continues, and I have to agree increasingly more:
Bill Safire was right: she is and has for a long time been a congenital liar. I don’t mean by that that she deliberately and pre-meditatedly decides to deceive people. I mean she has long since forgotten the difference between truth and untruth (enabling addicts can do that to people). I mean that by seeking power and self-advancement for so many years, at the expense of any other human values, she has lost all sense of what the difference between truth and falsehood is, who she is, what really matters or any fundamental sense of perspective.
In closing: ‘She is a lost and dangerous soul, as her husband still is. She is, in my view, unfit to be president. Truly, deeply unfit.’
And you thought I had it in for the senator from New York.
Comments
I heard her apology this morning on the news...she sounded....sleep deprived :-)
Thank you both for popping by! I wonder if this plays into John McCain’s, rather than Barack Obama’s, hands. He’ll be able to use this by saying, ‘Huh—sleep deprivation? Had plenty of that in Hanoi.’
This is also way more serious than any comments made by Rev Wright and quoted out of context.
Im still floored she went that far, its definitely more serious then Rev Wrights angry statements.
What's the feeling: appalled? check. angered? check. confused as to why anyone still supports her? check. surprised? not one bit.
She's pathological.
Do you remember this? Hillary Clinton planted a question while campaigning in Iowa.

Now the Bosnian sniper fire controversy
Does it suggest a pattern?
