Quote Of The Day

By The Daily Dish
Mar 24 2008, 2:05 AM ET

""She misspoke about the exit from the plane," - Howard Wolfson on Clinton's lie or poor memory about Tuzla.

That word "misspoke" is such a weasel Clinton word. You can say you genuinely forgot, or got muddled up. But Clinton cannot ever admit a mistake or confess a deliberate exaggeration. It was the same way in which Bill Clinton could never actually say that anything he did was ever wrong. At most it was always "inappropriate."

In this respect alone, in their pathological incapacity to actually concede error - real error - the Clintons really are running for a third Bush term.
