Of all the sins committed by the Bush administration, the 935 falsehoods told in the run-up to the Iraq War — including 232 on WMDs and 28 staight from the horse’s mouth on the ties between Hussein and al-Qaeda – have to be the worst.
In(*)her campaign(*)to replace W., Clinton has presented herself as(*)a leader capable of repairing the damage done. And yet, she has no qualms using the same brand of deception exemplified by the last 8 years.(*)Her latest, and perhaps most egregious, example came yesterday, in a memo from the Clinton campaign. It read:

If Barack Obama cannot reverse his downward spiral with a big win in Pennsylvania, he cannot possibly be competitive against John McCain in November.

As Josh pointed out, Obama has been winning this race since day 1, and has steadily increaed his lead ever since. And the Clinton campaign is trying to tell us that Obama is in a downward spiral?
Of course, this isn’t the first lie HRC has spun. Here’s a selection from the vault.
“We bombed them [Iraq] for days in 1998 because Saddam Hussein threw out inspectors.” — HRC at the Los Angeles debate, justifying the bombing of Iraq during Bill’s second term. In reality, bombing was planned for months and Bill Clinton ordered the inspectors out in anticipation of the bombing campaign.
Hillary Clinton met Sir Edmund Hillary, who along with his guide was the first man to climb Mt. Everest. She told him that her mother was so inspired by the man that she named her daughter after him. That’s sweet, but it’s also a lie. When Clinton was born, in 1947, Sir Edmund Hillary was an unknown beekeeper.
Hillary Clinton called the votes in Florida and Michigan “fair,” and offered two options; “honor the results or hold new primary elections.” Both candidates agreed not to campaign in these states, abiding by any decision made by the DNC. Obama’s name did not even appear on the ballot in Michigan. The notion that these were fair is patently absurd.

Hillary told NBC Dateline that, on the morning of September 11, 2001, Chelsea had “gone on what she thought would be a great jog. She was going down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She was going to get a cup of coffee and — that’s when the plane hit!” Later, Chelsea wrote an essay on where she was that morning. Turns out she was in a friend’s apartment on Park Avenue South. She watched it on television.
We could continue on, but I think we’ve established a pattern. Clinton would be more of the same brand of dirty politics.
Please, feel free to fill in any lies I’ve omitted in the comments section. And … some Henry Rollins to drive it home.
