No Greeting Ceremony

Has she never heard of videotape? Or fact checkers? Is she congenitally unable to just be real with people?


Update: The Clinton campaign responds to the flap:
"She misspoke about the exit from the plane," —Howard Wolfson
Update II: Me on Wolfson's response: Retch.

Update III: Sullivan on Wolfson's response: 
That word "misspoke" is such a weasel Clinton word. You can say you genuinely forgot, or got muddled up. But Clinton cannot ever admit a mistake or confess a deliberate exaggeration. It was the same way in which Bill Clinton could never actually say that anything he did was ever wrong. At most it was always "inappropriate."
In this respect alone, in their pathological incapacity to actually concede error - real error - the Clintons really are running for a third Bush term.

Wow,

Revisionist history at its best. Is she remembering some other trip, or does she want to seem more gutsy and experienced then she is?

Yuck is all I’ve got to say.

Oh, by the way – call me or IM me ASAP…

Option B, of course. The experience argument is all she's got (BS, though it is).

Love you,
