Do we remember the "under sniper fire" story?

Remember, it was Tina Fey who made the Russia comment, and the Africa comment has been shown to be a hoax.

AND, she pilloried Bill Richardson because he dared to let his conscience, rather than party loyalty, be his guide. Mind you, Richardson is another kook, but Her Royal Hillary's treatment of him was atrocious.

Right, Tina Fey said the words, "I can see Russia from my house"... but Palin still said she had FP experience because Russia is Alaska's neighbors///

The under sniper fire was the story I was alluding to about Clinton...

-Additionally, of all the major candidates save McCain, HRC showed the best preparation and ability to discuss and adapt to foreign policy concerns during the primary season - she's a wonk.

BULLSHIT! How?

Umm . . . did you watch any of the debates? Anything at all? This isn't just my opinion, by the way - it was basically the consensus among pundits that HRC was the best-prepared during foreign policy debates (other than McCain), in spite of her somewhat hawkish stance, and she is known for being pedantic and constantly on-point in her briefing, preparation and talking points, which has real value for the Obama campaign. She might exaggerate, but she won't be caught with her pants down because she didn't do her homework (see: which papers does she read?).
