    'Sleep-Deprived'

    Hillary Clinton
    That's how Hillary Clinton explains away her error in the way she has painted her arrival in Tusla, Bosnia in 1996:

    "I don't know what I was thinking," she said. "I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke."

    First off, Clinton has repeatedly described her role in Bosnia in a similar light while on the campaign trail. Here's CBS News:



    But what is also truly precious about this defense is the way it dovetails with her ad about answering that red phone at 3 a.m.

    In the now-famous ad, President Hillary Clinton takes the middle of the night call still fully dressed. Presumably the workaholic Clinton has been burning the midnight oil in defense of the country. But if the Tusla recollection tells us anything, it's that if she's ever elected to the highest office in the land, she might want to catch a few winks before answering the phone.

    No wonder she was so eager to change the subject back to Jeremiah Wright.
