 Wrong again Senator Clinton: Pat Nixon also visited War Zone
By: Warner Todd HustonHillary's house of cards is falling all around her with her claims of having had to duck enemy sniper fire during debarkation at her Tulza, Bosnia trip in 1996. She made all sorts of claims that her trip was a harrowing one that placed her in danger and that this fact should lend credence to her claims of somehow having foreign policy experience. But, she also doled out another line that is turning out to be just another lie and it is a line that it seems most MSM outlets are giving her a pass on thus far. To further puff herself up, Clinton said of her Bosnian trip, “I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt during World War II.” This was also a line that the Clinton White House spoon fed the press in 1996.

To further puff herself up, Clinton said of her Bosnian trip, “I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt during World War II.” This was also a line that the Clinton White House spoon fed the press in 1996.This claim of Hillary's "first visit since Eleanor" line turns out not to be true, though. It seems that Pat Nixon, wife of president Richard Nixon, earned that distinction back during a 1969 trip to Vietnam.The AP allowed the Hillary "first" claim to go uncorrected. Newsweek uncritically regurgitated the "first first lady" line, too. The Washington Post also repeats the line without correcting the record. There were several TV reporters that also repeated the line without noting that it was not true. For those of you listening to the Rush Limbaugh show on Tuesday, Rush played several reporters back in 1996 repeating the White House claim that Hillary was the first since Eleanor to visit a war zone.Unfortunately for Hillary's credibility, it just isn't true. Yet the MSM does not seem to be interested in correcting this one.Thanks to the folks at the New Nixon Blog, we have an excerpt from the Pat Nixon Bio. The following is an excerpt from Pat Nixon: The Untold Story (1986) written by daughter Julie Nixon Eisenhower.
