Last year during the campaign . Evita Clintoon recalled coming under sniper fire on the tarmac of Tuzla, Bosnia ;and that she and er Daughter Chelsea had to run for cover. Of course that never happened as video proof revealed . http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article3617816.ece
Previously she had made lesser gaffs like claiming she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary ,conqueror of Mount Everest ,even though she was born before his epoch climb.
Well she did it again in Northern Ireland .
according to the Sunday Life newspaper, during a speech she made to the Stormont parliament she said that Belfast’s landmark Europa Hotel was devastated by an explosion when she first stayed there in 1995.
The Europa, where most journalists covering the decades-long conflict stayed, was famed as Europe’s most bombed hotel, earning the moniker “the Hardboard Hotel”.
However, the last Provisional IRA bomb to damage the Europa was detonated in 1993, two years before President Clinton and his wife checked in for the night.
The last time the Europa underwent renovations because of bomb blast damage was in January 1994, 22 months before the presidential entourage booked 110 rooms at the hotel.
Mrs Clinton told assembled politicians at Stormont: “When Bill and I first came to Belfast we stayed at the Europa Hotel ... even though then there were sections boarded up because of damage from bombs.”

It appears that she has a propensity to embellish her personal narrative to a point where she becomes convinced her accounts are true. Can someone explain the psychology behind this pattern. Regardless of my own opinion of her ;it seems to me that at this point she has real personal accomplishments to bolster her bio that does not need to expose herself to the ridicule that comes when these exaggerations are exposed. Is this a compulsion ?
