Hillary's Sniper Fire Explanation

Hillary Clinton was being interviewed by a Pittsburgh radio station today and as an explanation for her exaggeration, she offered this:

"I am a human being like everybody else...and for the first time in twelve or so years I misspoke."

I haven't found the audio, but there you have it - she misspoke for the first time in more than a decade...

In case you forgot, this was Hillary's original "misspeak:"

I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went.

I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.
