Second-Rate African American Comedians for Truth
Hillsy, in an effort to give herself some CIC street cred since people are finally starting to actually say that being married to the actual Commander in Chief isn’t exactly experience in the event the phone rings at 3 in the morning, made a itty-bitty, teeny-weeny mistake and misremembered being in Cambodia in 1968. Err, no. That’s not it. Oh, that she was taking sniper fire. That’s it.
And the story kinda came undone by Sinbad of all people. Yeah, that Sinbad. The one who took issue with having a white guy (who was actually mixed race) play Barack Jong-il Obama on SNL. As oppose to the Sinbad that rode a Roc and beat up a Cyclops once. I’ll let you decide which Sinbad is cooler.
Anyway, she now says she misspoke and that she says so much stuff that it’s hard to keep up. And her Story’s Still Changing: But so what, Right Wing Haters? It’s just getting better, more truthful, and more filled with pulse-pounding action-adventure and executive experience with each retelling.
There will be tears. Oh yes, there will be tears.

I missed an opportunity to see Sinbad’s act when I was in college. I couldn’t afford the $7.

For what it’s worth, he was in Cambodia in 1968, just not on Christmas Day of 1968. But let’s not let a little thing like truth get in the way of our snark, shall we?

That would be worth a good deal, if it were true. He didn’t go to Cambodia at any time in 1968, or AFAIK, at all (he may have gone back years later as a tourist, I dunno). To save time, I might also add that not only wasn’t Nixon President on Christmas of 1968, he also wasn’t President on Halloween of that year.

What xrlq said.
Look, Kerry was not on a boat by himself. He had a crew. Not one member of his crew has stepped forward to support his story, not even a member of the “band of brothers” he brought on stage with him who supported his campaign for presidency. If those guys don’t support the Cambodia story then the Cambodia story is bullshit.

Never underestimate the power of truth used as ridicule. It sank Kerry. Truthful ridicule also will sink Hillary if used soberly, expressed with deep regret that the foolish things coming out of her mouth are not only not true, but are egregiously false.
I personally liked the Kerry story about the dog getting blown from one boat to another the best…. Or maybe the magic hat story. Or maybe the self-inflicted shrapnel wound which earned him his first purple cross….

Kerry ALWAYS had problems.
Bush ALWAYS had problems.
Clinton ALWAYS had problems.
Obama ALWAYS had problems.
Bush ALWAYS had problems.
Dukakis ALWAYS had problems.
Reagan ALWAYS had problems.
Carter ALWAYS had problems.
Nixon ALWAYS had problems.
Johnson ALWAYS had problems.
Kennedy ALWAYS had problems.
Its just so frustrating when the political partisans try to spin these very real problems as being false, something made by the wing nuts or the looney left, instead of admitting every politician has faults, has problems with the truth, and will present adequate opportunities to be totally discredited.
Just because your preferred politician of the day screws up, it doesn’t make you any less of a person. Its the politicians fault, not yours. I just don’t get the extent that people unconnected to the process take this stuff so personally (mostly/overwhelmingly on the left the last few years, but thats just recent trends, it also happens on the right).

I agree with countertop, to a certain extent. Lying about getting shot at is just dumb; it’s not a “problem”, it’s a credibility issue.
It puts you in the same category as people who pretend to be war heroes or ex-SEALs or whatnot.
