The real story is the cynical and egotistic response to a rare but clear blunder. Handler Howard Wolfson immediately rephrased Clinton’s two statements as referring to a political party rather than the "President Musharraf" she spoke of four days after the Bhutto news blitz (if only Mike Huckabee had had that time to catch the NIE). The mind trick captures the instinctive bunker mentality that would pervade a Hillary Clinton administration. She chould probably just say she misspoke, and put an end to a story that – if the MSM is working hard enough – should have legs for more than a few days. But she won’t. She can’t. It’s not in her blood.
If you think Bush admits mistakes too easily, vote Clinton.
