Presenting the newest production from The Jed Report -- Bosnia and Back Again, the story of Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.  Senator Clinton plays herself in a performance AMERICAblog declares is "the most spectacular display of sniper fire since Tuzla." The Field says her role is like "a paid political ad for John McCain."

Watch the trailer now at The Jed Report and please be sure to digg it.

For those of you who don't have Flash, or can't play YouTube videos, the three minute clip runs through Senator Clinton's tall tales on Bosnia, Iraq, NAFTA, elitism, being Annie Oakley, moving in and out of a drawl, and finally talking about her newfound wealth.

Another observation, not directly related to the video, but connected to the general issue of honesty and trust:

Today's WaPo is out with results from a new poll confirming what we had hoped -- Clinton's "bitter" gambit boomeranged. In a companion article, the Post explores Clinton's growing honesty perception problem -- most voters don't think she's honest or trustworthy.

In that article, the most revealing passage was this one -- and it had nothing to do with the poll itself:

One Clinton insider announced in a strategy meeting it was ridiculous to have imagined the first lady ever having been in danger, or for Clinton to have thought she was -- a slap at the senator from New York that other advisers described as disrespectful.

That right there is the entire problem of the Clinton campaign. Saying something obviously true is considered a slap. In healthy organizations, telling the truth is rewarded; in dysfunctional ones, it's treated as disrespect and you get shunned.

We can't afford another President who won't let his or her staff speak truth to power.

That's the kind of organizational failure that gets us stuck in Iraq.
