Coming soon to a superdelegate near you: Hillary in Tuzla.
It's an unbelievable tale of heroism, written and directed by Mark J. Penn.
The Baltimore Sun calls it a "whopper."
"Four Pinocchios!" says the Washington Post.
"Requires enormous suspension of disbelief" raves the Huffington Post.
I apologize for the short length of this diary, but this diary is really this video. Barath e-mailed me last night suggesting that I put together a video on Clinton's tall tale about sniper fire, and this is what I came up with.

It's is all about distribution -- and it's entirely free.
If you think this video makes the point, please spread the word, send it to friends, family, even superdelegates.
Let's just get it out there.
Let's seal the deal.
Here's the URL:

blitz boy posted the URL to Digg the YouTube -- please do, it's a great way to get it out there.
Digg It!
::
It's getting out there:
- 2,000+ Diggs
- 35,000 views as of 3pm (or earlier); probably at least 45k by now.
- #1 most favorited news/politics clip on YouTube today
Thanks to everybody helping spread the word!

Update 2:
First of all, thanks to everybody for getting this video out there, particularly Barath who didn't just suggest that I do a video on this, but also worked hard to get it out there.
Now for some stats:
- So far there's been 68,000 views in about 18 hours.
- Barath e-mailed with this news about http://www.viralvideochart/ -- Apparently, we've got this video now ranked #7 on the viral video charts -- and there's only 2 videos ahead of it that haven't peaked.
- The video is now the #1 most favorited and rated news & politics video, and #6 for all of youtube. It's #2 most viewed in news and politics and #16 for the entire site.
- We were on the front page of digg for much of the day and it is still one of the top ranked videos.
Of course, the entire hope here is not just to spread this news to people, but also to get the MSM to finally cover this issue. Well, to that end, Claire Shipman today on George Stephanpolous's may have given us a heads up as to where the MSM is going to go with this, saying that Hillary's false sniper fire claims are going to "get her into trouble." Here's video:
Thanks again to everybody for pumping this thing up! Now let's just hope Jon Stewart embraces and extends the concept. That would be huge!
