Hillary coming under fire .... from the media

DateTuesday, March 25, 2008 at 08:33PM

In what's turning out to be more than just a "minor blip," the Clinton camp spent all day trying to contain the hillarybosnia_400.jpeggrowing controversy about Hillary embellishing her recollection of sniper fire during a 1996 trip to Bosnia.  Turns out that on four occasions she recounted coming under sniper fire at the airport in Bosnia when nothing of the sort ever occurred.   She downplayed the memory lapse(s) with reporters today, telling them to "lighten up."  She later went on to say "for the first time in 12 or so years I misspoke." 

Misspeaking on the campaign trail happens all the time -- President Bush practically elevated it to an art form.  But to consistently embellish -- in prepared speeches no less -- a very fact-checkable event so as to underscore her gravitas and experience is ... well ... stupid.  Or as Chuck Todd of NBC News put it, it's a "bone-head mistake."  With her window of opportunity narrowing every day, the Clinton camp can't afford any bonehead mistakes.

The worst part about this is that you know there are some poor interns in both Obama and Clinton's offices who were assigned to fact check as many of her recent speeches as possible... I'm curious to see what else pops up in regard to this in the upcoming days.
