Wow! - A "Four Pinochio" rating
I think it's a given that politicians will say anything to further their cause.
I've always added selective memory to their many self-serving traits.
Now, we apparently can add fictional memory to that list...

At the Washington Post blog, you can read about this one and draw your own conclusion:
"Hillary Clinton has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President Clinton, could not go because they were "too dangerous." When her account was challenged by one of her traveling companions, the comedian Sinbad, she upped the ante and injected even more drama into the story. In a speech earlier this week, she talked about "landing under sniper fire" and running for safety with "our heads down."
There are numerous problems with Clinton's version of events."
