It's About Time: Introducing the Obama Suit

It comes empty, of course.

BARACK Obama's elegance and fashion sense have inspired a Bosnian company to name a new line of men's business suits after the US President-elect.

"We chose the name Obama" for the suits, which were already selling well in Bosnia-Hercegovina and neighbouring Croatia, said Ahmet Curic, a manager at Borac, the company that produces the outfits.

Marketing genius there, naming it Obama after a guy named Obama. Can't slip anything past those Bosnian designers.

"It's a line of top quality business suits, and naming it Obama was an obvious choice because the president-elect is clearly a very elegant man and one of a few who knows how to wear a suit," he said.

Pigeon Busted for Drug Smuggling

One has to figure there's a stool pigeon involved here somewhere.

Prison guards grew suspicious when they saw "four prisoners visibly intoxicated shortly after the pigeon landed on a prison window," said Josip Pojavnik, deputy warden of Zenica prison.

The pigeon was a pet of one of the inmates. When he and three other prisoners in jail tested positive for heroin, disciplinary proceedings were launched.

It is thought that the drugs were stuffed into tiny bags and attached to the pigeon's legs.

"We suspect that the pigeon carried the drugs from Tuzla", a town around 70 kilometres more than 40 miles northeast of Zenica in central Bosnia, added Pojavnik.

The pigeon is now in custody while police investigate who might have loaded it with drugs.

"We do not know what to do with the pigeon, but for the time being it will remain behind bars," Pojavnik said.

How about maybe a little torture and interrogation?

Seems as if this is not an isoltaed incident.

A similar case of carrier pigeons being used by prisoners was reportedly uncovered earlier this year at a jail in Brazil, where the birds were being used to deliver drugs and even mobile telephones.

Prisoners in Zenica serve sentences for serious crimes such as murder, drug dealing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Amnesty International has complained in the past about conditions at the prison.

Can PETA be far behind?

Bosnians Rip Mrs. Clinton

Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire

Getting away with all those fabrications isn't so easy any more. In fact, now that people finally are paying attention to her half-truths, misstatements and fabrications, she may just need to tell the truth about herself.

The Bosnian girl who famously read a poem to Hillary Rodham Clinton during her 1996 visit to the war-torn country is shocked - and her countrymen infuriated - that the former first lady claimed to have dodged sniper fire that day.

Emina Bicakcic, now 20 and studying to become a doctor, told The Post she stood on the tarmac at the air base in Tuzla, greeted Clinton and even had time to share the lines of verse she'd written - all without fear of attack from an unseen enemy.

"I was surprised when I heard this," Bicakcic said, referring to Clinton's assertion that she braved snipers upon landing, ducking and sprinting to military vehicles.

Other Bosnians said they had one of two reactions to Clinton's debunked action-hero account of her visit: laughter or anger.

"It's an exaggeration," said former acting President Ejup Ganic, who was present during Clinton's visit. "No one was firing. There were no shots fired."

Sema Markovic, 22, a student, said she has long respected Hillary as a strong leader but was angered by her remarks.

"It is an ugly thing for a politician to tell lies,' she said. "We had problems for years, and I don't like when someone lies about them. It makes us look bad."

Clinton has since admitted she "misspoke."

Bicakcic, asked if she feared any threat of violence that day, said she felt just the opposite.

"No," she said, speaking at her home in Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital. "I was just excited. I wanted to look [Clinton] in the eye and say, 'Thank you.' "

And Clinton, she said, seemed far more interested in her poem than in dashing for shelter.

"She was really listening," Bicakcic recalled. "She was drinking in every word of my poem."

Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on Fire: Hillary's Bogus Bosnia Speech Still on Her Website

Might be time to cry again

Considering the mealy-mouthed doubletalk coming from Mrs. Clinton about her bogus story of getting fired on in Bosnia, you'd think her crack cadre of advisers would be smart enough to remove the fantasy speech from her website.

Well, it's still there.

Remarks as delivered

Good morning. I want to thank Secretary West for his years of service, not only as Secretary of the Army, but also to the Veteran’s Administration, to our men and women in uniform, to our country. I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went.

I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. But it was a moment of great pride for me to visit our troops, not only in our main base as Tuzla, but also at two outposts where they were serving in so many capacities to deactivate and remove landmines, to hunt and seek out those who had not complied with the Dayton Accords and put down their arms, and to build relationships with the people that might lead to a peace for them and their children.

Cut to today.

Clinton began retracting the remarks in a series of private interviews Monday and Tuesday before addressing about two dozen reporters here after a speech.

She told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke."

She told KDKA radio in Pittsburgh: "You know, I have written about this and described it in many different settings, and I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign."

Poor thing is tired.

Then how can we expect her to be up and alert at 3 a.m.?

After the endless gaffes and lies of this interminable campaign, she claims it's a rare mistake.

Was it a rare mistake when she also lied about her alleged role in the Irish peace process?

More on that fabrication here.

Such a troubling pattern of behavior shows a fundamental character flaw. If you find you need to lie about peripheral, insignificant events in your life, what else will you lie about.

Better yet, what won't you lie about?
