More Tall Tales from Hillary
Ethel Fenig
“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said...

Hillary described her hunting days at an earlier campaign stop in February, via CBS:
“I’ve hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas.
More delightful dreams of shooting ducks around the country but then the red telephone explodes in sound, waking her from happy hunting days into cold reality. The voice on the other end is Dick Cheney's. He invites her to join him duck hunting. But shortly after the vice president issued his challenge, Sen. Clinton seemed to back off from her earlier claims of hunting experience, saying that she had “misspoke” about her hunting exploits as a child.
“I fired a gun once, but I didn’t like it, and I didn’t recoil,” she said.
Now who would you want answering the White House's red phone at 3 am? Or anytime for that matter? A "misspeaker" or one who actually faced down real enemies without lying?
Even a wounded duck can answer that one.
