More Sniper Fire

CBS continued with the landing-in-Bosnia story yesterday, complete with a short clip from Hillary's 'explanation' of stopping to accept flowers from an 8-year-old girl. What is most striking, however, is the parallelism of her language from March 17th and yesterday:

March 17th speech: "We basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened."

Yesterday (via philly.com): "I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac, but that there was this 8-year-old girl and I said, well , 'I can't rush by her -- I have to at least greet her.' So I greeted her, I took her stuff, and I left. Now, that's my memory."

Sniper Fire from the MSM

The Obama campaign has been trying to get observers in the MSM to unpack Hillary Clinton's 'experience' argument for the past few weeks -- ever since the aftermath of Texas/Ohio -- without much success. Greg Craig's memo was not really echoed, and even Sinbad's (the comedian) comments on the USO trip to Bosnia was pretty much ignored.

But when the MSM went back and reviewed its own video of the then-First Lady's trip to Bosnia in 1996, which she recounted in a speech last week, the proverbial 'worm' has turned. While the Clintons had a sketched out a path to the nomination (albeit risky), the press this week has been writing the it's-all-over-but-the-margin-of-victory stories.

After a bad week for Barack Obama and Rev. Wright, it's Hillary's turn to be roasted in the YouTube universe. And the Clintons' argument that she is getting a raw deal from the press can't stand up to the video.

As Richard Pryor once said, in a different context: “Who you gonna believe, baby — me, or your lyin’ eyes?”
