She 'Misspoke' about being FIRED AT BY A SNIPER????

WTF???

HOW TO YOU GET A STORY WRONG ABOUT BEING SHOT AT BY A SNIPER?!?!

I mean, "fired at by a sniper" doesn't have some secondary meaning I'm not aware of, right? Like after a long weekend, when you keep getting what day it is wrong, do we call that "getting fired at by a sniper?" No, right? We use those words to talk about a person with a gun, taking aim, and pulling a trigger and bullets coming out, and the bullets are near you in a bad way.

So how is Hillary gonna be like "my bad, when I said I was getting fired at by a sniper in Bosnia, I really meant...um, that I wasn't getting fired at. I misspoke." ??????????

Hey kids, next time your teachers and parents catch you lying, just explain that you misspoke.

Also, did she think she'd get away with that, both the lie and the explanation (misspeaking)??? I mean, we might be stupid but no one is that stupid. I can't hit the question mark button (control slash control slash control slash control slash) enough to satisfy how baffled I am by her attempt to pull this off.

'Cause like, you know, wouldn't we all remember the headline about a SNIPER IN BOSNIA taking a shot at the FIRST LADY AND TEENAGE DAUGHTER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? That would have been a really big story, and every time someone did a subsequent story about assassination attempts, the secret service, personal security of dignitaries, blah blah, the SNIPER IN BOSNIA SHOOTING AT HILLARY would have been mentioned. This woman has lost her mind.

Whew. Okay. Calm down, Kate.

Backing up: if you're not caught up, here's the story:

As part of her argument that she has the best experience and instincts to deal with a sudden crisis as president, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton recently offered a vivid description of having to run across a tarmac to avoid sniper fire after landing in Bosnia as first lady in 1996.

Yet on Monday, Mrs. Clinton admitted that she “misspoke” about the episode — a concession that came after CBS News showed footage of her walking calmly across the tarmac with her daughter, Chelsea, and being greeted by dignitaries and a child.

And here's the footage of her walking across the tarmac with Chelsea.
