Except, it turns out, it didn’t happen–at least, apparently, not the way Clinton said it did. There was indeed a tragedy last August in Athens, Ohio, in which a woman, Trina Bachtel, gave birth to a stillborn baby and subsequently died herself. But the New York Times reports this morning that the hospital involved says Bachtel had coverage,and received treatment. And here’s the remarkable part, given how important this story has become to the overall narrative of the Clinton candidacy:

Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February.
A Clinton spokesman, Mo Elleithee, said candidates would frequently retell stories relayed to them, vetting them when possible. “In this case, we did try but were not able to fully vet it,” Mr. Elleithee said. “If the hospital claims it did not happen that way, we respect that.”

Hillary Clinton is far from the first politician to find herself in this kind of embarrassing situation. Remember how hard Al Gore got hit after the first debate in 2000, when it turned out that in his description of the very real problem of overcrowded schools in Sarasota, Fla., he used the wrong verb tense in telling of children who were forced to stand in their classrooms?

What is astounding here is that for all the research that the Clinton campaign has spent scouring and scrubbing the opposition, they didn’t put a bit more effort into looking at what their own candidate is saying.

Another LIE
She opened her mouth again her aides should be saying Please shut it.

THE MEDIA SHOULD PRESS HIM FOR A DIRECT ANSWER WHY? NO TWISTING AND TURNING AND BEATING AROUND THE BUSH.

I agree, the media is very lax on reporting these itema about Hillary. Of course, they’re “equal and balanced” in NOT reporting Obamas ties to the Black Panthers, the PLO, Tony R., and they’ve obviously given Obama a “pass” on lying about listening to 20 years of his pastors ethnic slurs and Anti-American speech.

WHY ARE THEY NOT MAKING A FUSS WITH HUSSEIN OBAMA INITIAL DENIAL DURING A FOXNEWS INTERVIEW THAT HE NEVER EVER HEARD ANYKIND OF HATE SPEECHES BY WRIGHT IN HIS 20YEARS OF ASSOCIATION WITH HIM, AND LATER ADMIT ON STAGE THAT HE DID HEAR THOSE KIND OF HATE SERMONS??

BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA/OSAMA IS REALLY UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HE AND HIS WIFE SHOULD EMIGRATE TO KENYA WHERE HE CAN FREELY PRACTISED HIS REAL RELIGION AND BE PRESIDENT AT THE SAME TIME. HIS WIFE CAN BE REAL PROUD OF KENYA SINCE THERE WILL BE NO WHITE PEOPLE THERE!

GO HILLARY!
