Here Come The Tarmac !

Hillarious Sniper Fire: Reaganette Peggy Noonan writes that what struck her as "the best commentary on the Bosnia story came from a poster called GI Joe who wrote in to a news blog:

'Actually Mrs. Clinton was too modest. I was there and saw it all. When Mrs. Clinton got off the plane the tarmac came under mortar and machine gun fire. I was blown off my tank and exposed to enemy fire. Mrs. Clinton without regard to her own safety dragged me to safety, jumped on the tank and opened fire, killing 50 of the enemy.' Soon a suicide bomber appeared, but Mrs. Clinton stopped the guards from opening fire. 'She talked to the man in his own language and got him [to] surrender. She found that he had suffered terribly as a result of the policies of George Bush. She defused the bomb vest herself.' Then she turned to his wounds. 'She stopped my bleeding and saved my life. Chelsea donated the blood.'

Made me laugh. It was like the voice of the people answering back. This guy knows that what Mrs. Clinton said is sort of crazy. He seems to know her reputation for untruths. He seemed to be saying, 'I get it.'..."

"...That's what the Bosnia story was about. Her fictions about dodging bullets on the tarmac either confirmed what you already knew or revealed in an unforgettable way what you feared..."

Yes, and I don't relish a revelation this disconcerting.
