Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience is much vaunted, especially by her. Consider her time in Bosnia:
That the mainstream media continues to let these incredible fabrications stand is depressing if not surprising.
Via Kos
Analogcabin @ 6:40 AM ------------------------- So there were a lot of pundits who speculated that the leaked memo which said the Obama campaign downplayed to the Canadian embassy the importance of his NAFTA comments cost Barack a lot of votes in Ohio and Texas. It might have even cost him the win. Analogcabin @ 1:09 PM ------------------------- Analogcabin @ 8:10 AM ------------------------- In a move that is sure to assuage the fears of institutional investors and venture capitalists worldwide, King Kong Bushy, fresh off demanding a five count from a surgified Iraq, has agreed with Congress on an economic stimulus package. The plan, designed to forestall the utter collapse of civilization that is hurtling toward us like a fat man on banana peel skis, should put a whopping $600 into the pockets of every taxpaying American. Analogcabin @ 9:48 AM ------------------------- We've got another one today, everybody. I'll keep it short: If you're in New Hampshire and registered, get out there and vote for Barack. Analogcabin @ 10:49 AM ------------------------- So today's the day, finally. The first of a few days, really. But it's a big 'un, for sure. I'm not going to get into all of this again, for fear I'll have to track down and beat up more brigands, so let it suffice to say that if you're reading this from Iowa, go caucus for Obama.

Except that the memo didn't say anything like that, and the comments in question actually came from the Clinton campaign.
This is what we're up against.

Because I work with alarming alacrity, I have engaged a team of pollsters and tasked them with testing the financial prostates of Joe Public and his wife, Suzie Herpes.

If you really want to read something, why not check out this post from way back in February 2007 in which I speculated about what might happen with Obama and McCain's pledges to use only public financing in the general, should their opponent do the same. I think it's interesting to think about again, now that we're closer to the rubber hitting the road.

"This isn't something just anybody can do, or would want to." Marc Glosberg is lean, drawn. As he walks the line, he barely lifts his feet off the ground. He hasn't shaved. His red-rimmed eyes are tired and serious. Like Marc, they tell stories.
"On Gossip Girl, sometimes we'll work six, even seven days a week. When we're up against it with rewrites, sometimes late into the night." Marc's eyes lose focus.' "Sometimes I wonder what I'm giving up by doing this work."
"Después de trabajar hasta que es demasiado oscuro, camino de nuevo a ciudad. Toma dos horas." Emilio Ramirez has weathered skin. It is dark from the sun, and the lines down his cheeks are deep. The skin on his palms looks thick and tough. He hasn't shaved. His red-rimmed eyes are tired and serious. Like Emilio, they pick flowers every day during the spring, perform odd jobs when they can, and sometimes find work with a cousin who has a truck and does landscaping.
"En México, trabajé todo el dia y todavía no podría alimentar a mi familia. Aquí, debo trabajar muy difícilmente, pero mi familia puede tener un futuro."
"This is about fairness. When people watch Gossip Girl on the internet, I deserve to be paid. When they watch it on DVD, I want my cut." The sun is higher in the sky now, and Marc puts down his sign. He pulls off a burgundy Harvard University sweatshirt and puts on an off white Longboard Ale ball cap. "I worked hard on that show, and if the studio is making money on it, then I should be."
"Cuando escojo las flores, tengo gusto de pensar de ser joven. Escoger las flores y las daba a mi esposa. Recordando que marcas el movimiento del tiempo menos lentamente." The sun is higher in the sky now, and Emilio removes his sweat-stained cowboy hat. He wipes his brow with some cloth torn from an old Hard Rock Cafe tee shirt. "Tener trabajo es bueno. Pero deseo que podía ver a un doctor, porque tengo dolor en mi pecho."
