She should have just claimed she “misremembered”

Hillary has an explanation about why video of her landing in Bosnia doesn’t show her dodging sniper fire:

Sen. Hillary Clinton said she “misspoke” last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.

Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News’ editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group “ran with our heads down” from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.

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

A misstatement? She meant to say “I casually stood on the tarmac and pretended to kiss a little girl” but accidentally said “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

She should have just said she “misremembered” the whole thing. Happens all the time — just ask Roger Clemens.
