Clinton and the sniper

Hillary Clinton, trying to pass herself off as experienced, said she had come under sniper fire on her visit to Bosnia in 1990. This turned out to be nonsense – there is film footage of her walking calmly from the plane – and she has..well, would you call it fessing up? She said she misstated it.

What the hell does that mean: ‘misstated’? Either she misremembered it – thought she had come under sniper fire but that turned out to be not the case, which seems scarcely credible form someone supposed to be intelligent, or she was lying.

Lying to the people she wants to represent. John McCain will be quietly taking notes.
