If You Read One Thing Today: Andy Borowitz On HRC’s Bosnia Tall Tale

Just effin’ hilarious stuff on the foreign policy whopper Hillary Clinton has been telling. From Huff Post:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been accused in recent days of padding her foreign policy resume while First Lady, admitted today that she may have exaggerated about an encounter she said she had with al-Qaeda terror mastermind Osama bin Laden in 1998.

In an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Sen. Clinton told host Tim Russert, “I wrestled bin Laden in his cave in 1998 and had him pinned to the ground before the bastard got away.

But a review of Sen. Clinton’s official White House schedule from that period revealed that the then-First Lady was nowhere in the vicinity of Mr. bin Laden on that day, but was instead greeting a group of honor roll students at Disney World in Orlando…

Good to see that people are starting to call her bluff. For more on the drastically underreported lies of HRC, check out these links:
