Politicians Lie?! OMGWTFBBQ!!1

Really, who wouldn’t want to have a juicy story about getting shot at while on a good-works USO mission in a war zone overseas? Hillary Clinton was caught in a lie (irony of ironies, by comedian Sinbad, who accompanied her on the trip), albeit a mostly trivial one, about her experiences once her plane (well, according to her, it was a chopper) landed in war-torn Bosnia in 1996. She and her team ran, heads down, through sniper fire, into waiting cars, all drama and speed.

According to Sinbad (who was later corroborated by reporters), disembarking from the plane was a decidedly more pleasant experience, topped off by a welcoming ceremony before being loaded into official transportation.

Was Hillary Clinton lying or was it an “honest mistake”? Do we even care?

I mean, sure, we’re supposed to deserve honesty (especially in historical account) from our public representatives, but in light of recent events (Eliot Spitzer and the mayor of Detroit immediately come to mind), we really shouldn’t hold our public opinion so high.

After all, they’re just politicians. Politicians philander, lie, cheat, steal, occasionally drive their girlfriends off bridges while intoxicated, and that’s okay.

Isn’t it?
