I saw this noted on Sister Toldjahs Blog, and honestly, that is the best I can do to summarize it.

Apparently the facts were wrong, making it a lie, except that the essence was correct making it Clintonian truth.  Kinda. I can’t sort it out really.  And really, it doesn’t matter.

What this boils down to is Clinton heard a sob story and ran with it.

That’s what politicians do.  They latch on to a story they figure can be sympathetic, and they tell ti over and over to make their point.

What made this such a gross debacle is that Clinton didn’t bother to have her staff do a bitty little thing called fact checking.  So the family got run through the wringer, as did the hospital, all so she can make a few points.

Here is the real truth.  She doesn’t care about this woman or her family, except where it intersects her desire to get votes.  She doesn’t care about you or me and our lives except where we can be manipulated to cede her more power, fame and wealth.

She doesn’t care about the truth, the facts or the reality of the problem, just how she can use it.

But who cares?  The facts don’t matter, just the feel.

Feel free to parse through this list of links.  It is by no means comprehensive…maybe you can find the truth.
