Irish Peace Activists Mock Phony Hillary (Video)
"Being a cheerleader is different from being a player."
The real Irish peace activists scoff at Hillary's outlandish claims that she was some kind of peace broker in Northern Ireland while her husband was president.
Hillary's role in Ireland...

Hillary: Experience from Day 1?
...Not so much.
The activists say Hillary is being "a wee bit silly."
The Telegraph and Drudge reported:
Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.The Clinton's already played this hand a couple of months ago...
"I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."
Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.
"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.
Dick Morris set the record straight back then on Hillary's role in Ireland.

Hillary is soooo full of it:
That was definitely one of her finest performances!

Who knows what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe when Bill was in rule, she may have had a lot to say on the matter.
Sorry for the light posting-
Blogger has been down much of the day.
If she is the nominee all McCain will have to do is run a few “Holiday Inn Express” like commercials and she will be toast. Imagine if he used actors that look and sound like the Clintons. What a HOOT those ads would be.
The ads could be titled “White House Express” and show them with look alike world leaders with Hillary in the background tagging along and at the end she could say “I stayed at the “White House Express”.
Hillary keeps complaining (justifiably) about the pass Obama's getting from the media but if the media had any principles at all they'd be tearing Hillary to shreds over crap like this. The whole "I have 35 years of experience" claim because she sat her fat ass in the White House while Slick Willy was getting hummers is beyond ridiculous. Also, she graduated from law school 35 years ago!!! To claim that she was some great public servant and architect of policy starting right after law school is pure, utter garbage.
