As noted earlier in this Blog (http://wrb-myblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/hillary-clinton-congenital-liar.html), Hillary Clinton can't stop lying, and can't stop getting caught lying. Now she's been caught again. Hillary stopped telling a fake story of a pregnant woman’s medical tragedy after a hospital challenged its accuracy last weekend. For about a month, Hillary has been telling audiences a sad story of a young woman who was supposedly turned away by a local hospital because she had no health insurance and could not pay the $100 charge asked for by the hospital. During her campaign yarn, Mrs. Bill Clinton announces the woman and her baby (or is it a fetus?) died. Of course, her audience gasps and cries at these campaign stops upon hearing this tale. 
It's a story straight from the Lifetime network. But last week (April 3rd) the Washington Post named the woman (Trina Bachtel, aged 35) who died last August. With the patient’s name publicized, administrators at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital, where Bachtel was allegedly turned away, declare the pregnant woman was never refused treatment, and she even had medical insurance! As reported in the New York Times, hospital official Rick Castrop stated, “We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story.” Caught in yet another lie, Clinton’s campaign said she would drop it from future speeches. Hillary campaign spokesman/woman/person Mo Elleithee said, “In this case, we tried but weren’t able to fully vet the story.” How long before Hillary jokes about getting caught in yet another lie on the Tonight Show, as she did with her bogus sniper-fire claim?
