A Comedy of Errors Continues

Well, it seems like Bill Clinton stepped into it. Again. Yesterday in Indiana he decided to defend Hillary's "misstatements" about the sniper fire in Bosnia.

First, Mr. Clinton made some comments about her making the statement when she was tired in the middle of the night. Not true. Then there was something about immediately apologizing. Also not true. He also repeated a claim that she was the first First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone. Alas, also no true.

So the candidate's press office had to say:
"Senator Clinton appreciates her husband standing up for her, but this was her mistake and she takes responsibility for it."
Well, Bill's a good man. He admitted that he has been pushed under out of the bus on this one when he spoke to reporters today:
"Hillary called me and said 'You don't remember this. You weren't there, let me handle it.' I said, 'Yes ma'am,'"
Yes, I realize it is things like this that give people some reason to say they will vote for McCain if Obama loses. For some it's a trust issue. For other's it's all about Bill.
