So many posts today about HRC's Tuzla lie, but does anyone notice that it's already fading ...
from the MSM? If it had been Obama of course, the story would have been in 100 point type for weeks.

2. The reason its fading is because she changed the subject by weighing in on Wright
Smart strategy, though it makes me dislike her even more.

8. Not really. She out and out lied, three times. So, there is plenty to ask her
about why she made up such a detailed story and then tries to dismiss it as "misspoke".

12. No. She did not "misspeak".
"Misspeaking" is when you make a Freudian slip.

What Hillary did--inventing a story that never actually happened--is LYING.

She lied, folks--please try to realize this.

6. It was also on local news @ noon in Seattle.
Rovian tactics, say it is fading when it is just getting started.

7. I don't know what you are talking about.... huh?
I really thought this would be a headliner, which it was, if you looked for it, in the morning, but then it sunk to a minor line or not at all on most news sites.

13. Wow you start a post at noon, I reply @ 12;20 and you ? 4 hrs later.

If you start a post you could at least monitor it for a while? And an answer to your question, yes in my opinion it will have legs. It is on LOCAL news which usually covers car wrecks, not unlike the HRC campaign.You can spin it any way you like of course. Have a nice thursday.

5. Is anyone shocked anymore when a Clinton lies?
Seriously.

She already has the lowest "trustworthy" rating among the three remaining candidates. A scandal is really only born when something happens that dramatically changes the way people view someone. People already viewed Hillary Clinton as untruthful, so there's nothing particularly scandalous about her Tuzla lies.

9. I'm seeing it constantly. And my wife reports it was the source..
.. of much humor around the water-cooler today. Unfortunately, I telecommute, so I have only us DU nut cases with which to gauge world opinion.

11. Don't worry. If she gets the nomination,
you'll hear about it 35 times a day, every day for two months.

15. It's ludicrous, isn't it?
How the fuck is she going to debate "Getting Shot At" with McCain?
