The word "misspoke"
has jumped the shark and should be thrown under the bus.

10. Hillary Clinton said that about her prior description of her trip to Bosnia.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/25/campaign.wrap/?iref=mpstoryview

"I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.

3. As long as we're on the same page,

7. Yes there is still a window of opportunity

12. It's okay for Hillary to "mispeak" aka "lie", but Obama is to blame for Wright's words.
That is how things are rationalized in Hillaryland.
