I’m sorry I “misspoke”
“Misspoke” that is the new politically correct term for, I lied and got caught.
A recent story of Hillary Clinton having to duck and run sniper fire at a Bosnian airport, turned out to be a total fabrication from the get go and apart from her entourage of reporters, comedian Sinbad and songstress Sheryl Crow, the only person who backed her up was her daughter.
Hillary did recant by saying she “misspoke”.
Now let me think, If I was to refer to my friends wife as “he” now that would classify as misspoke. But if I were to say that my friends wife and I climbed a mountain and had wild sex and she later gave birth to a giraffe, now that would just be a lie.
So please explain to me how using the term “misspoke” makes it somehow ok.
Let a criminal try that in court while testifying on the stand, how far do you think that bird would fly. Ya, I thought you’d agree.
So remember folks, if you work for the government it’s ok to “misspeak” as long as you don’t lie.
” and thems the facts as I see em “
Just like I am sure Obama “misspoke” with his recent comments on PA voters.
Hi Ben, glad to hear from you.
Are these the comments you are referring to?
Barack Obama
“In a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long,” he told the donors. “The jobs have been gone now for 25 years, and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Yes he did misspeak, meaning he could have put it in different terms, less blunt perhaps.
My actual point though was not about the actual Hilary story it was the difference between a “misspeak” and a “lie”.
I just find it tragically funny that if she was going to lie about something, that she would at least have had the brains to make sure there was no video footage to disprove it.
As for the rest of them, if they didn’t lie then they would need a job title change from “politician” to “Person”.
